Linbeymusol Wonderful character development!
Huievest Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.
Mischa Redfern I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.
Rosie Searle It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
OllieSuave-007 In this cartoon short, Pluto, convinced by his inner-devil, thinks that he has been replaced as Mickey's pet by a baby elephant (which, by the way, looks like a overgrown and overly chubby Dumbo) the Bobo. He appeared to be too friendly with Pluto, which ticked the dog off immediately.Many of these Disney cartoon shorts, unfortunately, follow the same formula of an overly cute animal character who antagonizes the main character. For example, in past cartoons, Frankie the bird drives Figaro crazy; a penguin eats Donald's prized goldfish; and in this cartoon short, Bobo tries too hard to force Pluto to be friendly with him. Also, in a lot of these cartoons with Mickey's name in the title, Mickey himself hardly appears in the story.The animation Mickey and Pluto looked good as always, but the drawings for Bobo looked pretty hideous. Not much laughs here and the overall story was pretty boring and non-substantive - just Pluto not getting along with Bobo, while Mickey is sequestered to the sidelines painting Bobo's new house. The ending left things ambiguous. One of the worst cartoons featuring both Mickey and Pluto.Grade D---
Prismark10 This Mickey Mouse Silly Symphonies short from 1936 is very much inspired by their Warner Bothers rivals.Mickey receives Bobo, a baby Indian elephant a gift from an Indian Rajah. Whilst Mickey builds a house for his elephant Pluto does not seem to be thrilled.In fact we see a Devil Pluto who splits from him and playing on his fears and negativity and encourages him to be mischievous.The shenanigans from Pluto leads to Bobo having a sniffing fit and ultimately blowing everything round him and Pluto realises that his devilish side might not always be acting for Pluto's own interest.
Julia Arsenault (ja_kitty_71) I love this short and it is one of my favorite Mickey Mouse shorts from 1936. I am quite terribly particular about that (a favorite cartoon short from which year). Anyway, in this short, Mickey receives Bobo a baby elephant from India as a gift from the Rajah of Gahbooh. Of course, Pluto's first introduction was with Bobo's trunk, through a fence while Bobo was playing with a ball, and the ball going under the fence. Pluto was not thrilled and marches away. But the playful Bobo grabs Pluto's tail and follows. Of course, Pluto didn't like it at all, especially when he begins to suspect that he's being replaced thanks to his bad side - a devil version of himself.I love how little Bobo is designed, he's so cute. And you know, this cartoon has a lesson in it and it is: NEVER listen to the devil in you!
Shawn Watson The King of Siam (or something) sends Mickey little Bobo, a baby elephant, for a new pet (he could have phoned ahead) and a pal for Pluto. So Mickey get down to hard work building an Elephant kennel.Pluto's lil' Devil on his shoulder (er...where did the angel go?) tells him that the elephant is his replacement and to plot against him. Obviously Pluto cannot reads the innocence and friendliness in Bobo's eyes and relentlessly tries to run Bobo off. He just won't give in to his devil's side. Would this be allowed in the disgustingly PC world of Disney today. NO!A mildly amusing cartoon.
