Review by TheLittleSongbird

Anybody who likes Pluto- count me as one of them, though Goofy, Donald and even Mickey are stronger characters- will like Pluto's Fledgling. Like with most Pluto shorts it is unexceptional and fairly routine story-wise. But it also has some amusing if not always hilarious gags and several cute moments, the baby bird is so adorable and naturally so. The animation has been more vibrant and more fluid before and since but still looks detailed and beautiful, there is an old-fashioned quality to it but that's part of the charm. The music synchronises with the humour, sweet parts, gestures and facial expressions to great effect, it also has great character and the lush orchestration is most appealing. Pluto is a likable lead character and his energy never falters neither does our sympathy for what he goes through in Pluto's Fledgling waver. To conclude, very winning and with a lot to like about it. Not a masterpiece, nor does it in all fairness try to be, but a really pleasant 6-7 minutes. 8/10 Bethany Cox
