Mickey’s Kangaroo
0 views
Mickey gets a package from Australia: a kangaroo, complete with boxing gloves. The ‘roo moves into Pluto’s brand new doghouse, much to his annoyance (which we actually hear voiced). Mickey gives the big ‘roo a boxing workout, while leaving Pluto with the joey. Pluto gets into some old bedsprings, and bonds with the tot. Meanwhile, Mickey is getting pummelled.

Curator’s rating
The last black-and-white Mickey Mouse cartoon the studio ever made — after this the series was entirely in colour. A boxing kangaroo moves into Pluto's new doghouse, and Pluto's jealousy carries the whole reel. A good place to hear early voiced reaction work on Pluto, which the studio soon abandoned.
