Not a terrible short or a great one, more mediocre than those two extremes. The animation and the music are the best aspects. The animation is full of colour and detail and it always flows smoothly, Pluto's facial expressions and actions really come to life through the drawings. The music is nearly always a high point with the Disney shorts, and Canine Patrol is not an exception, the whole score is lively and orchestrated just beautifully. What was also special about the music, and that is true of the Disney shorts and of the Looney Tunes and Tom and Jerry ones too, was how well it matched with the animation and humour. The ending is very cute also and Pluto is still appealing. The turtle is adorable but never much more than that, it never really does anything that stands out. The chemistry between Pluto and the turtle is rather lacking too, not helped by that one character is much more compelling than the other and that they don't really have much that stands out. Canine Patrol may be cute but sadly it's not very funny, the pace could have been crisper and the gags are rather obvious and too few. The story is formulaic with not much that sparkles. So in conclusion, very well animated, scored and is very cute, but in the laughs, chemistry and story departments Canine Patrol did fall short for this viewer. 5/10 Bethany Cox
