Dog Watch

A good idea that could have been executed a little better. Some of the antics like the rat eating everything he sees off the table routine as predictable, the pacing could have been a little more swifter and there could have been more of Pluto's conflicting between good and bad and him trying to make the right choices, as there wasn't enough of that and at times it was more Tom and Jerry than Disney and Pluto. The animation is bright, colourful and beautifully drawn, while the music is lushly orchestrated and characterful, wonderfully synchronised with the action. The gags are never hilarious, but the best of them like Pluto roaring at the rat and the rat does it back and the ending are at least amusing. Pluto doesn't have the attention to detail that he usually does but he's still likable, while the rat is one of those adversaries that deserved everything that came to him.

In conclusion, amusing and colourful if nothing special. 7/10 Bethany Cox
