I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

There is just so much movie here. For some it may be too much. But in the same secretly sarcastic way most telemarketers say the phrase, the title of this one is particularly apt.

A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

Every time kindness to animals is adressed I'm happy, and that's why I like this short. I just think that it could have been stronger if they had put in two more minutes or so just to add more scenarios to increase the pathos driven message. It delivers what is is supposed to with the devil and angel method which works very well with how they fight each other. It is amusing while also showing how Pluto handles situations when he feels threatened and making him a multidimensional character and relatable. He is a good even though he can be a jerk sometimes. I love him.

This is a touching cartoon featuring Pluto, where he finds his attention from Mickey turned away to care for a newly found kitten left in a bag floating on ice. Pluto wasn't too pleased to see the kitten and his inner angel and devil sides battle it out to offer him the best advice in dealing with the situation.It's a classic little tale of good vs. evil and conscience vs. mischief as we see Pluto wondering what he should do with the kitten, whose adoring personality and kindhearted innocence will tug at your heartstrings. Pluto learning to be on the good side and save the kitten from danger is the highlight of the story and serves as a good moral about helping others. Great cartoon! Grade A

I've got to admit I'm not too familiar with Pluto as a character, so I couldn't really get into this short. Pluto is Mickey's voiceless pup who, in this short, has a dark and a light side that feud cartoon-y style. This short was made a while ago, so I wouldn't say it was cliché at the time, but the image has become rather familiar.Pluto is bounding along the winter landscape one day when he finds a kitten that was meant to be drowned in a creek. The kitten immediately latches on to Pluto and follows him home, where Mickey takes him in and starts lavishing affection. Pluto, feeling left out, starts scheming how to put the kitten in his place...I think this short is too short. It goes through too many changes of Pluto's character too quickly and doesn't really provide much besides his feuding conscience to work with. It's definitely made for children (nothing wrong with that) but doesn't seem to really provide much reason for Pluto's actions (why does one side of his conscience win over the other, ultimately?).--PolarisDiB

This Oscar winner is a rather sweet, gentle, charming cartoon that, from another studio, probably would not have won the Oscar. While it's a good cartoon, it certainly isn't my choice (of those I've seen, I prefer Rhapsody in Rivets myself). This is the best one that prominently features Pluto and it cetainly does not make you scratch your head and wonder what they were thinking. A good, but by no means great, cartoon. Like most of the shorts (with some lamentable exceptions), this shows periodically on The Ink and Paint Club. Recommended.
