Mickey's going golfing, and Pluto is his caddy. Besides the usual caddy duties, Pluto runs to the ball and points to it. But when the ball lands in a gopher hole, Pluto's got another task: chase the gopher. They eventually chase each other through a number of holes in a knoll where Mickey is trying to putt out, causing the knoll to collapse.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

"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.

This 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

Starting off with the good things, the animation is not bad at all, more pristine and colourful than it was in a short like Boat Builders(for example). The music was also wonderful, and the voice acting from Walt Disney and Pinto Colvig was pretty much top notch.As for the not so good things, the gags come by thick and fast and are entertaining on the most part, but others are predictably done. While a day at the golf course is an interesting concept, the cartoon was a little uneven. One reviewer summed it up pretty well, it is a case of too much gopher, not enough golf. Don't get me wrong the gopher was cute and funny, but I wished I could see more of Mickey. Also the pacing was a tad too fast.Overall, not a bad cartoon by all means, quite the contrary, it is just a little too predictable and uneven that is all. 7/10 Bethany Cox

A Walt Disney MICKEY MOUSE Cartoon.Pluto acts as CANINE CADDY for Mickey's golf game - with predictable results.Good animation is the highlight of this otherwise unremarkable little film. The Pup has far more screen time than The Mouse, especially after the arrival of the requisite tiny critter - in this instance a gopher - into the plot to plague Pluto.Walt Disney (1901-1966) was always intrigued by drawings. As a lad in Marceline, Missouri, he sketched farm animals on scraps of paper; later, as an ambulance driver in France during the First World War, he drew figures on the sides of his vehicle. Back in Kansas City, along with artist Ub Iwerks, Walt developed a primitive animation studio that provided animated commercials and tiny cartoons for the local movie theaters. Always the innovator, his ALICE IN CARTOONLAND series broke ground in placing a live figure in a cartoon universe. Business reversals sent Disney & Iwerks to Hollywood in 1923, where Walt's older brother Roy became his lifelong business manager & counselor. When a mildly successful series with Oswald The Lucky Rabbit was snatched away by the distributor, the character of Mickey Mouse sprung into Walt's imagination, ensuring Disney's immortality. The happy arrival of sound technology made Mickey's screen debut, STEAMBOAT WILLIE (1928), a tremendous audience success with its use of synchronized music. The SILLY SYMPHONIES soon appeared, and Walt's growing crew of marvelously talented animators were quickly conquering new territory with full color, illusions of depth and radical advancements in personality development, an arena in which Walt's genius was unbeatable. Mickey's feisty, naughty behavior had captured millions of fans, but he was soon to be joined by other animated companions: temperamental Donald Duck, intellectually-challenged Goofy and energetic Pluto. All this was in preparation for Walt's grandest dream - feature length animated films. Against a blizzard of doomsayers, Walt persevered and over the next decades delighted children of all ages with the adventures of Snow White, Pinocchio, Bambi, Peter Pan and Mr. Toad. Walt never forgot that his fortunes were all started by a mouse, or that simplicity of message and lots of hard work always pay off.
