“A Walt Disney PLUTO Cartoon.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003ePLUTOu0026#39;S SWEATER, a gift from Minnie, gives him no end of trouble.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAlthough not one of Disneyu0026#39;s classics, this little film offers some funny moments as the Pup deals with his hideous new possession. Minnie Mouse is given a few moments to shine as the dreadfully dedicated sweater knitter. Making one of his limited appearances in a cartoon short, Pinocchiou0026#39;s pal Figaro proves to be a good antagonist for Pluto. Look fast for a cameo by Butch the bully bulldog.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eWalt Disney (1901-1966) was always intrigued by pictures u0026amp; 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 comic 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 u0026amp; Iwerks to Hollywood in 1923, where Waltu0026#39;s older brother Roy became his lifelong business manager u0026amp; counselor. When a mildly successful series with Oswald The Lucky Rabbit was snatched away by the distributor, the character of Mickey Mouse sprung into Waltu0026#39;s imagination, ensuring Disneyu0026#39;s immortality. The happy arrival of sound technology made Mickeyu0026#39;s screen debut, STEAMBOAT WILLIE (1928), a tremendous audience success with its use of synchronized music. The SILLY SYMPHONIES soon appeared, and Waltu0026#39;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 Waltu0026#39;s genius was unbeatable. Mickeyu0026#39;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 Waltu0026#39;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, Dumbo, Bambi u0026amp; Peter Pan. Walt never forgot that his fortunes were all started by a mouse, or that childlike simplicity of message and lots of hard work always pay off.”
