Pluto and the Armadillo
Mickey and Pluto make a short stopover on a South American flight. Mickey throws Pluto’s ball into the jungle, and he chases it but it looks exactly the same as an armadillo that’s rolled up into a ball. This, of course, greatly confuses Pluto for a while. But he eventually makes friends with the armadillo. He chases the critter into a cave right behind his ball, and rips the ball apart thinking it’s the armadillo, which makes him very sad until the armadillo shows up again.
A leftover from Disney's Latin American period, when the studio was making goodwill films for South America and had a surplus of research trips to draw on. Pluto cannot tell his ball from a rolled-up armadillo, and the whole short is built on that one confusion — economical, warm, and with some of the prettiest jungle backgrounds in the shorts library.
