I've got to admit I'm not too familiar with Pluto as a character, so I couldn't really get into this short. Pluto is Mickey's voiceless pup who, in this short, has a dark and a light side that feud cartoon-y style. This short was made a while ago, so I wouldn't say it was cliché at the time, but the image has become rather familiar.
Pluto is bounding along the winter landscape one day when he finds a kitten that was meant to be drowned in a creek. The kitten immediately latches on to Pluto and follows him home, where Mickey takes him in and starts lavishing affection. Pluto, feeling left out, starts scheming how to put the kitten in his place...
I think this short is too short. It goes through too many changes of Pluto's character too quickly and doesn't really provide much besides his feuding conscience to work with. It's definitely made for children (nothing wrong with that) but doesn't seem to really provide much reason for Pluto's actions (why does one side of his conscience win over the other, ultimately?).
