Evolution of PLUTO - 89 Years Explained | CARTOON EVOLUTION

[@KFrost-fx7dt]

Fan theory: the first two bloodhounds are Pluto's parents. Pluto was the runt of the litter and not interested in tracking down bad guys, so the breeder gave him away to Minnie as a pet. And the rest, as they say, was history.

[@rachaelgreen1812]

Maybe then Minnie gave pluto to mickey, either as a gift or she couldn't look after him.

[@rachaelgreen1812]

Or since mickey and Minnie are probably dating, they both have pluto.

Yes Like Walt Disney Said He Was Only 14 In Dog Age in All Of The Cartoons

The one time Pluto actually talked was kinda creepy, they made the right move to never have him speak again. Let Goofy be the talking dog. Also props to Pluto for leading the way of _"Character Animation"_

[@stebaer]

@@BarbaraLinkert Me too!I came up with that one myself too.

[@godslaughter]

What I find hilarious is the fact that there are some theories going around saying that Pluto is just a humanoid person who likes to act like a more feral person and pretend to be a dog. I know it's a stretch but it's funny, probably not the intention at all but I find it interesting how his design is strongly plantigrade (walking on palms and feet unlike digitigrade, walking on fingers and toes and the pads) while other dogs and feral animals seem to have a simplistic but still a fairly realistic approach. It still depends on the episode/movie and storyboard artists since some of them pictured feral people more cartoony and some a bit more realistic, but the point still stands.

[@missamieholly2313]

I LOVE the short where he drops a coin in the manhole and retrieves it with chewed bubblegum. It's one of my earliest childhood memories of him. Also the one with him getting lost in a cactus maze.

[@CarolinaMouse]

Next to Mickey(my #1 favorite Disney character) - Pluto is my #2 favorite Disney character and my favorite Pluto appearance has to be "Pluto's Blue Note"-a classic (and great) short.

[@darthpaul99]

Even though Pluto is "just a dog" and not "humanized" like Goofy, both of their heads are structured very similarly. I own a "How to Draw" that I purchased from Disney World which shows this.

[@ZiddersRooFurry]

I prefer his classic 50's look. His 90's look is a close second. I'm not a fan of the newer more stylized look. I understand Disney was trying to reinvent themselves a bit but it's just too 'cartoony'. Call me old fashioned but I just don't think it suits the characters well at all. It's good animation don't get me wrong. I just think it better suited to non-Disney characters.

[@DaveLeeDownUnder]

Totally agree with you there

[@JonSmith-hk1bq]

Honestly, I think the new style completely tossed the concept of "appeal" out the window and is actively dis-inviting to the viewer. The whole series is an eyesore. Not sure what's going on with American animation at the moment.

[@Nasir3623]

I really never understand why people seems to hate the Paul ruddish shorts. Do people really like the bland corporate Mickey of the past. Mickey hasn't been in anything funny eversince Fantasia and his character provided very little for comedy or gags, there were a reason why he disappeared from any theatrical releases and it became more and more difficult for writers and animators to come up with gags. Walt even said that "Mickey is our problem child". But now he have a flawed comedic personality which makes him fun

[@JonSmith-hk1bq]

@@Nasir3623 It doesn't mean they need to develop an art style that I don't want to spend two seconds watching.

[@ZiddersRooFurry]

@@Nasir3623 The animation isn't very fluid. It's more Ren & Stimpy or Spongebob than Disney. That style is OK for different characters but Disney spent almost a century refining the characters as we know them today. It's not about 'tradition' or anything like that. It's about what works. They distilled the best of what 2-D animation has to offer. The new shorts are throwing out all the refinement for stuff they'd already moved past. Also-the reason you didn't see a lot of Mickey is because they didn't want to oversaturate the market NOT because they 'couldn't come up with any gags'. Disney has their pick of the best writers around. They're not lacking for good gags.

My favorite Pluto shorts are the ones that featured Pluto with Dinah Dachshund, his second love interest after Fifi the Pekingese. This is a bit delayed, I know but, I would, actually, love a video talking about some of Pluto's reoccurring cast, like Dinah, Fifi, and Butch the bulldog. Don't know if anyone else would be interested but, I would love to know a bit more of the history of these side characters. (Especially since Dinah was one of my favorites growing up). Sidebar: Is it just me or does Pluto's redesign in the current Mickey Mouse series make him look a bit like Odie from Garfield?

[@kimzchaos]

History is fascinating

[@blankblankness2971]

Dave, you got it wrong! You said that Mickey never appeared in any of the shorts released in 1950. Mickey actually *DOES* appear in a short from 1950; he and Minnie both make a cameo appearance in "Crazy over Daisy", where they can be seen driving a car.

No, what I said is that Mickey didn’t “star” in any shorts throughout 1950 - ie. there were no “Mickey Mouse” shorts released during the year.

As a neat bit of trivia one of the pluto gets the paper shorts "ufo" got a big-screen release in front of my favorite martian making it the first pluto short on the big screen in a long time. Two more shorts from mickey mouseworks (one with goofy riding a skateboard and Donald and daisy at the opera with Donald fighting a bomb) would also get a release in front of Disney films that year as well!

[@KasumiKenshirou]

There was one color cartoon where Pluto was a different color. (I think he was gray.) It wasn't a regular theatrical cartoon, but one of those industry things the general public wasn't meant to see. It was a bonus feature on one of the Walt Disney Treasures DVD sets. I think it was just a parade of characters marching by the screen.

[@DaveLeeDownUnder]

Oh man, you’re right. Totally forgot about it. That’s ‘Parade of the Award Nominees’ and was created for the 1932 Academy Awards. Funnily enough, it was the first cartoon featuring Mickey Mouse to be produced in color. Makes sense that they hadn’t properly decided on a color for Pluto yet.

However the Wikipedia says that Pluto first appeared in 1929’s the first silly symphony cartoon “The Skeleton Dance” unnamed. Like a Three second appearance howling at the moon.

[@DaveLeeDownUnder]

Not that Wikipedia is a valid source for such things, but his listing on there reads: “Pluto first appeared as a nameless bloodhound tracking the escaped convict Mickey in the film The Chain Gang (September 1930).[10] A month and a half later, Pluto appeared as Minnie Mouse's dog named Rover who comes along with her and Mickey on a picnic. By his third appearance, in The Moose Hunt (1931), Pluto is Mickey's pet, today named "Pluto"” Regardless, the Disney company refers to Chain Gang his first appearance, not Skeleton Dance. That’s not Pluto, just a dog.

Though only seen as a black silhouette, there is a dog in the 1929 Silly Symphonies short "The Skeleton Dance" whose shape is almost identical to Pluto- though maybe a tad more gaunt. Unlike the dogs in the first short you mentioned- 1930- he has the same slim, non-bloodhound ears and the prominent bump on his head that Pluto has, although of course he's not named.
