Society Dog Show
0 views
Pluto’s in a dog show against lots of snooty, high society dogs. While Mickey’s chasing after a dropped can, Pluto is making eyes at the dog next door. Pluto’s turn for judging comes, and when the judge makes fun of him, Pluto gets mad and goes after the judge, which gets them thrown out. A fire breaks out, and the dog Pluto was romancing is trapped inside; it’s up to Pluto to rescue her.

One of the best-liked shorts in this archive. Pluto humiliated at a snobbish dog show, then vindicated by a fire — the structure is pure Hollywood melodrama compressed into seven minutes, and it works because Pluto is genuinely out of place before he is genuinely heroic. The judging sequence is a small masterclass in animating embarrassment.
