One of the better Pluto cartoons

I have always enjoyed the Pluto cartoons, a few are on the routine side, but others are classic. A Gentleman's Gentleman is not his very best one of my very favourites, but it is one of his best. Pluto steals the show, cute, energetic and also moving. He is brilliantly animated here too, especially in the facial expressions. Mickey also makes an impression. The story is nothing groundbreaking nor does it try to be. It still skips along nicely and is always entertaining. A Gentleman's Gentleman is gentle and humorous in tone, the music is rousing and ever enhancing the visuals and action and the animation consists of beautiful colours and fluid backgrounds. Overall, one of the better Pluto cartoons to me. 9/10 Bethany Cox

Classic Pluto

Pluto sets out to get Mickey the Weekend newspaper but meets with various disasters along the way. This is one of the quintessential Pluto comedy shorts. Pluto's solution to retrieving a dime he has accidentally dropped down the sewer is a classic Disney moment. Just watch Pluto's face to see just how much the animator could convey in these early cartoons. - His despair in loosing the coin, his hope when he comes up with an idea of how to retrieve it. His frustration when, at first his idea seems to fail, and finally, his elation at having succeeded. This is not the best Pluto cartoon, but it's certainly one of the good ones.

One of the funniest Pluto cartoons!

This is one of the funniest Pluto cartoons, where he waits on Mickey by bringing him breakfast in bed and then going outside to buy him the Sunday paper, or least try to. Pluto loses his grip on the dime Mickey gain him to pay the newspaper fee and then loses it in a gutter. Pluto then placed a piece of chewed gum at the end of his tail and uses it to fetch the coin. After he successfully buys the newspaper, Pluto tangles with the wind as the newspaper pages fly everywhere.

It's funny seeing Pluto expressions throughout the short, and his antics in successfully getting the Sunday paper. It's classic Pluto with added humor and laughter.

Grade A

Trivia
This marks the final short film where Pluto wears a green collar in the Golden Age of American animation, and also the final Disney cartoon showing the green collar as well. Pluto's green collar will never be seen in animation again until the television series Mickey Mouse Works.
