Pretty Good

n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.

A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."

This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

Pluto deals with Milton the cat again, this time along with one of the cat's pal, Richard. The two spots a yard full of milk, birds and fish and decides to make a meal out of them. But, Pluto chases them out, only to return to try to outsmart the dog, resulting in some very hilarious tricks and slapstick comedy.I enjoyed watching the sneaky Milton and the inferior-minded Richard try to work together to outsmart Pluto, but ending up outsmarting themselves. Pluto does get some of the brunt of the tricks, including being sent flying through the air from this hammock, but gets to stage a funny comeback. A cartoon with many laughs! Grade A-

Like 'Lend a Paw,' this is a bonus cartoon on the 20th anniversary DVD release of 'Oliver and Company.' Upon watching it, I thought it would be about a special café for cats but the story is completely different because it involves two hungry cats trespassing Pluto's garden to steal some milk, some fish and some birds. The part that looked most like a café was one cat serving the other one milk but the rest of the cartoon was anything but a café-themed story.The animation is as good as that in 'Lend A Paw' and the musical score was reminiscent of that used in Hanna Barbera-directed 'Tom and Jerry' cartoons - in fact most of this cartoon reminded me of some shorts from that 'Tom and Jerry' era. Some of the visual and sound- synchronised gags are smart such as the sound of someone walking down the stairs inside the trash can, the cats imaging the birds being cooked and the fish as sandwiches and the underwater scene where it looks as if one cat is at a supermarket and uses an empty milk bottle and a hose as SCUBA equipment. Pluto was just as threatening towards the cats as he was towards Chip and Dale in the short where Mickey gets a new Christmass tree and decorates it. The ending has the pleasant surprise of a larger cat emerging from the trash can who one could perceive as the parent of the two leading cats.All in all this is the weaker cartoon short on my 'Oliver and Company, DVD but was just as fitting as 'Lend a Paw' and altogether worthwhile. 7/10.

A Walt Disney PLUTO Cartoon.Two mangy alley cats, Milton & Richard, decide to turn the estate Pluto is guarding into a PUSS CAFE.The animation is routine, but the story is humorous & lively in this little film. This was one of only two cartoons Milton the cat would appear in; Richard disappeared immediately.Walt Disney (1901-1966) was always intrigued by drawings. As a lad in Marceline, Missouri, he sketched farm animals on scraps of paper; later, as an ambulance driver in France during the First World War, he drew figures on the sides of his vehicle. Back in Kansas City, along with artist Ub Iwerks, Walt developed a primitive animation studio that provided animated commercials and tiny cartoons for the local movie theaters. Always the innovator, his ALICE IN CARTOONLAND series broke ground in placing a live figure in a cartoon universe. Business reversals sent Disney & Iwerks to Hollywood in 1923, where Walt's older brother Roy became his lifelong business manager & counselor. When a mildly successful series with Oswald The Lucky Rabbit was snatched away by the distributor, the character of Mickey Mouse sprung into Walt's imagination, ensuring Disney's immortality. The happy arrival of sound technology made Mickey's screen debut, STEAMBOAT WILLIE (1928), a tremendous audience success with its use of synchronized music. The SILLY SYMPHONIES soon appeared, and Walt's growing crew of marvelously talented animators were quickly conquering new territory with full color, illusions of depth and radical advancements in personality development, an arena in which Walt's genius was unbeatable. Mickey's feisty, naughty behavior had captured millions of fans, but he was soon to be joined by other animated companions: temperamental Donald Duck, intellectually-challenged Goofy and energetic Pluto. All this was in preparation for Walt's grandest dream - feature length animated films. Against a blizzard of doomsayers, Walt persevered and over the next decades delighted children of all ages with the adventures of Snow White, Pinocchio, Dumbo, Bambi & Peter Pan. Walt never forgot that his fortunes were all started by a mouse, or that simplicity of message and lots of hard work always pay off.

This is my above all favorite Disney short,i especially like the Three Siamese Cats(the thirds is at the end) but the two main one's,Richard and Milton,and their own private Meow language.It's hilarious!
