From my favorite movies..

It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.

Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.

"Pluto's Judgement Day" is a Disney cartoon from 1935, so this one is already over 80 years old and you see how old it really is best in here from Mickey's looks. It's a color cartoon though and Disney himself voiced Mickey here early on and at the very end. The star this time, however, is Mickey's dog Pluto and we find out about his hate against cats. But when Mickey mentions Judgment Day, then this results in the worst nightmare imaginable for Pluto as he is sentenced to death in a fire by a court full of cats. Everybody's feline: the judge, the lawyers, the jury, the audience. And the result, namely the verdict, comes as fast as you'd expect and also with the contents you'd expect. Not a problem at all that you know it is all a dream sequence because this way they get away with all the over-the-top stuff and absurdities even easier. The music is pretty good too. And if you take a look at the names of the voice actors here, it really is as good as it gets. And with all the horror elements, okay not THAT scary, there is still a happy ending in reality as Pluto just cannot resist the charm of a young kitten and the result may be a beautiful feline-canine friendship. Or will Pluto fall back to his old patterns? We won't know as the female cat does not return in any other cartoon. Still for me this is among the best the year 1935 has to offer in terms of cartoons and short films in general. A bizarrely entertaining and incredibly surreal watch that is best at its first viewing and one that you really wouldn't expect from Disney at that point. I highly recommend checking it out at least once. Of course, it is easy to find these days. Go for it and it is a must-see if you love old cartoons.

This cartoon is completely sickening. Pluto is pretty much hazed, tormented, and chained up inside a Cat Hell. I was very surprised that Disney would make a cartoon like this. I have no respect for the animators who drew such a disgusting cartoon. I can remember watching this one Halloween, and my father yelled, "Poor Pluto!" during the scene when he is suspended on pitchforks by all the cats. We had to change the channel, we couldn't watch it anymore. One cat in particular, the huge cat in the red robes who makes Pluto swear on a phone book (rather than a Bible) is just down-right horrifying. (Might I add that Pluto's paw gets snapped by a mousetrap when his hand hits the book, & he yelps out in pain.) Whoever actually enjoys such a terrorizing, disturbing cartoon is definitely sick in the head. I don't recommend viewing this at all.

This cartoon sees Pluto dream of a cat-controlled hell. After chasing a cute little kitten about the house and throwing mud everywhere, Mickey tells Pluto off and gives him some kind of Puritan Christian warning of hell and damnation.Once fallen asleep in front of the fire, Pluto's vision of cat-run hell and all the cats he's ever tormented coming back for vengeance quickly teaches him the error of his ways and he wakes up with a new-found love for felines.Kind of cute if you can get around the not-so-subtle Christian values message.

This is one of what I like to call, the Disney Halloween Triple. Among them are "Lonesome Ghosts" "Trick or Treat" and this one. In this cartoon Pluto is chased by cats into hell where he is tried by cats, do to his many crimes against the feline species. Kind of creepy!
