Pluto's Christmas Tree

Pluto's Christmas Tree is perfect for 10 minutes for silly fun. It features the ever lovable chipmunks Chip and Dale, who happen to be in the Christmas tree that Mickey cuts down. Most of the short sees Pluto pursuing Chip and Dale, and the scene when he dives into the Christmas Tree after them and the bit before that made me laugh so much. The animation here is beautiful, I loved how they animated the inside of the Christmas tree. I also loved the incidental music, with the lovely choral arrangement of Deck The Halls at the beginning. Here you have your favourite characters, Mickey who is more of a minor role, compared to the increasingly silly but funny antics of Pluto and the chipmunks, who i consider the stars of the show. Minnie, Donald and Goofy even do a cameo at the end, and I will say I loved the ending, when the chipmunks put a sticker on Pluto's mouth saying "Do not open until next Xmas." Great vocals from Edward Brophy, James McDonald and Ducky Nash. A hugely enjoyable short, that I still watch at 17 years old. It just shows you're never old to still love and appreciate Disney. 10/10 Bethany Cox.

When I think Disney Christmas shorts, I think of Pluto's Christmas Tree. When I think of classic Chip N Dale, I think of Pluto's Christmas Tree. When I think Disney Christmas anything, I think of Pluto's Christmas Tree. To me, Pluto's Christmas Tree, is one of those iconic films in the Disney archive that you need to see. It shows the Disney magic in only a few short minutes. You can't help but feel good and laugh at this classic Disney short.

This is another case of Mickey's dog getting too involved. When MIckey cuts down a Christmas tree, he doesn't realize that Chip and Dale live in it and end up in the house. When Pluto realizes they are there, he begins to attack. Unfortunately, they are much smarter than he is, and they torment him, knowing he will overreact. This has lots of charm and a nice Christmas message. It is colorful and filled with some really fun moments.

Just went on YouTube and rediscovered this classic cartoon from Walt Disney starring Mickey Mouse, Pluto, and Chip 'n' Dale that I first saw on "The Wonderful World of Disney" on December 25, 1977 when the episode was the all-animated "From All of Us to All of You". In this one, Mickey and his dog live in a cabin near the tree that the chipmunks reside in. C 'n' D have some mischief with the yellow dog before master Mickey chops their tree down. Since the mouse is oblivious to the little rodents, Pluto risks trouble in pursuing them...Directed by usual Donald Duck helmer Jack Hannah, Pluto's Christmas Tree shows nice timing in many visual gags especially of the chase variety though they do pale somewhat compared to the kinds of pacing that abound in the Warner Bros. and M-G-M cartoons of this period. Still, it's enjoyable enough and well worth seeing for Walt Disney enthusiasts of all kinds.

The Walt Disney cartoons have always been the best at creating atmosphere. The Looney Tunes shorts really lacked in this regard, as their backgrounds were usually somewhat more generic. So obviously the Xmas-themed Disney cartoons are perfect to get you in the mood. Pluto's Christmas Tree also has an even more vibrant detailed color pallet than usual.

This one has Mickey living in a mountain cabin with hyperactive Pluto. The go out one snowy night to find their Xmas tree. The tree that they just happen to pick is the one that is home to Chip and Dale.

Once inside Mickey's cabin the chipmunks play tricks on Pluto and taunt him, all while Mickey thinks it's just his imagination. In the end, Mickey decides to keep them because hey...it's Xmas.
