The Moose Hunt
1 views
Mickey’s hunting, along with a characteristically playful and distracted (and uncharacteristically talkative) Pluto. Pluto fetches a forked branch, and Mickey shoots, mistaking it for antlers, but Pluto is OK. Then they find a moose, and Mickey’s gun fails but they escape when Pluto does an impression of Dumbo, with Mickey riding.

The first film in which the dog is actually called Pluto — the character had appeared before as a nameless bloodhound and as Minnie's dog Rover, and here he finally gets the name he kept. He also talks, briefly, which the studio quickly and correctly decided never to do again.
A hunting premise, though nothing is actually shot.
