| Walt Disney Treasures / The Complete Pluto Vol 1 : 4 of 5 | |

 Yippee! I've finished the latest wave of Walt Disney Treasures from Christmas! This last set was a good one, featuring tons of hilarious Pluto cartoon shorts. I guess I had never thought about it before, but Pluto cartoons are a lot like watching Road Runner, since there's rarely any dialogue (except for Pluto's hilarious "breathing" laugh, which always cracks me up). I had seen many of these shorts before (most on other DVDs I own), but it's still nice to have them in this collection where I can watch them chronologically. I was kind of amazed by how many girlfriends Pluto has - mostly Dachshunds, but also a Pekinese (and she has babies, too!). Also, Pluto was often teamed with a smaller version of himself, sometimes a son and sometimes a kid brother. My favorite Pluto short Bone Trouble is here also, which has the Hall of Mirrors sequence that's so clever and funny. Unfortunately the bonus material is pretty sparse for a two DVD set, but it does include an excellent interview with Andreas Deja where we get to watch him sketch Pluto from scratch. There are also some fun stills of Pluto strips from the Sunday comics, which you can actually read panel by panel. OK, I'm ready for the next wave of Walt Disney Treasures now!
