the leading man is my tpye

Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

Good start, but then it gets ruined

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

"Bone Trouble" is a Disney cartoon from 1940, so this one is from the earlier days of World War II and over 75 years already. The star here is Mickey's dog Pluto, voiced once again by Lee Millar, who in the absence of his owner tries his very best to sink his teeth into a most delicious bone if only it wasn't guarded by another dog 3 times Pluto's size. So the first half, this one is about Pluto's unsuccessful attempts to get the bone without waking up his competitor and eventually a wild chase sequence ensues that leads the duo into a theme park and there into a chamber of mirrors where the entire second half takes place, but I must say all the reflections there were just not enough to carry the film. At almost 9 minutes, it is definitely one of the longer cartoons from that time, but it also has some lengths as a consequence. I kinda liked the ending, but it didn't make up for all before that especially Pluto's strange reaction when he sees the other dog. Overall I don't think the biggest problem here is the subjective approach that Pluto is not my very favorite from the gang, but that the plot and also the lack of love to detail were a bit on the disappointing side. Seeing that Disney heavyweights Kinney and Barks (I kid you not!) made this one, it really is a bit of a letdown how it turned out. Don't watch.

In one of the earlier Pluto cartoons, Pluto dishes off with Butch after discovering that his own dish is empty. So, he attempts to steal Butch's bone. What results are some hilarious back and forth chases between the two dogs, with some clever and funny sound and musical effects.And, added to the fun is that that the chase scenes lead the dogs to a deserted carnival, where Pluto has some excessive fun with the hall of mirrors.It's too bad Pluto ends up being an antagonist of some sort in this cartoon since it was him he stole Butch's bone in the first place. But then, it's a kid's cartoon. Plenty of laughs for the kids.Grade B-

The plot is not much and not only is it one that to some extent has been seen before but it starts off a little on the slow side. When Bone Trouble gets to the carnival it is here where it comes to life. The gags, physical and visual-based, work really well. The hall of mirrors sequence is the highlight, and is an extremely clever scene in terms of humour and animation. The reflections he makes and what we see are deliciously bizarre and enough to put anybody into hysterics, possibly one of the most inventive scenes of any Pluto short. Pluto even outsmarts the bulldog who counterpoints him in Bone Trouble, and it's among the craftiest he's been. Pluto is very appealing, he's cute and has a lot of energy, and the bulldog is a good counterpoint for him. The animation is very nicely drawn(if a little more refined later on) and the colours are lovely on the eyes. And the music is lush and characterful, managing also to enhance the action. Overall, very good short and while a little dull to begin with it is among Pluto's better early shorts, mainly because of how good the hall of mirrors sequence is. 8/10 Bethany Cox

Pluto wakes up in the garden where birds have eaten all of his food. With the aggressive dog next door he sees a fresh bone and he decides to steal it. A chase scene is what follows and when they are entering a carnival, especially the hall of mirrors, some funny images is what we get. Pluto is starting to like it as well and forgets all about the other dog.May be the first half is a little dull with nothing really happening but as soon as Pluto enters the hall of mirrors it becomes very good. Especially the part where he is imitating other animals is great!
