"Canine Caddy" is a 7-minute Disney cartoon from 1941 (the days of WWII), so this one had its 75th anniversary last year and it is from the days of World War II. The names Geronimi and Colvig make obvious of course that this is another Disney cartoon and if you didn't know then already, then you certainly will the moment you see Pluto and Mickey. As the title gives away already, the two are on a golf course here, but Pluto is not really a help at all to Mickey trying to improve his skill and handicap. And when eventually an enemy animal shows up, Pluto does not only destroy Mickey's ambitions, but the entire green. This is certainly not a film where Pluto is on the likable side I must say. It is also not really a particularly funny film or witty film. It is pretty fast yes and good-looking like basically everything from Disney around that time. Maybe you need to be a big Pluto fan or a big golf fan to appreciate this one here or preferrably both and have a soft spot for cartoons. The other animal near the end was an okay addition visually, but story-wise left me unimpressed too. Just like the entire thing. So yeah, I need to give this one a thumbs-down. Not recommended.
... View MoreThis is another adorable cartoon short from Walt Disney, featuring Mickey Mouse golfing with pluto. I like how Pluto makes his mark where he points to where the golf ball lands each time after Mickey swipes it, delivering another classic reaction of these cartoons.Caught in the game is a gopher, which Pluto gives chase to. What results is a hilarious cat and mouse game, where Pluto chases the rodent all over the golf course, while Mickey struggles to score.It is an entertaining cartoon that would sure delight an audience of all ages, as do most cartoon shorts from Walt Disney.I first saw this short on an episode of the Wonderful World of Color. It's still timeless.Grade B

In the end, his caddy demolishes the golf course by chasing a gopher around and around. the 18-hol course.In between are some funny scenes with Goofy "pointing" to the ball, having the ball land on his butt and Mickey knocking it off and a few other things. Too much of this animated short involves chasing the gopher and overall, it's just a "fair" cartoon. It just have stuck more with the golf story.
... View MoreThis is a very funny cartoon. I think my favorite part is when Mickey's golf ball gets into a sand trap and when he swings it, the sand goes onto Pluto and he starts to look like the Egyptian Spynx. I saw this down in Walt Disney World.
