The Moose Hunt, which came out on May 3, 1931, Pluto appeared as Mickey's pet, and was given the name "Pluto". Pluto was Minnie's dog and was named Rover. On October 23 of that same year, The Picnic was released. Pluto first appeared as a nameless bloodhound tracking the escaped convict Mickey in the film The Chain Gang, which released on August 6, 1930. Disney, along with other studios, lobbied for passage of the act to preserve their copyrights on characters such as Pluto for 20 additional years. In 1998, Disney's copyright on Pluto, set to expire in 2003, was extended by the passage of the Sonny Bono Copyright Term Extension Act. Pluto also appears in the television series Mickey Mouse Works (1999–2000), House of Mouse (2001–2003), Mickey Mouse Clubhouse (2006–2016), Mickey Mouse (2013–2019) and its successor The Wonderful World of Mickey Mouse (2020–present), and Mickey Mouse Funhouse (2021–present). He returned to theatrical animation in 1990 with The Prince and the Pauper and has also appeared in several direct-to-video films. Like all of Pluto's co-stars, the dog has appeared extensively in comics over the years, first making an appearance in 1931. This made Pluto a pioneering figure in character animation, by expressing personality through animation rather than dialogue. Because Pluto does not speak, his films generally rely on physical humor. One film starring him, Lend a Paw (1941), won the award in 1942. Several of these were nominated for an Academy Award, including The Pointer (1939), Squatter's Rights (1946), Pluto's Blue Note (1947), and Mickey and the Seal (1948). All together Pluto appeared in 89 short films between 19. Pluto debuted in animated cartoons and appeared in 24 Mickey Mouse films before receiving his own series in 1937. Though all six are non-human animals, Pluto alone is not dressed as a human. Together with Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck, Daisy Duck, and Goofy, Pluto is one of the "Sensational Six"-the biggest stars in the Disney universe. Officially a mixed-breed dog, he made his debut as a bloodhound in the Mickey Mouse cartoon The Chain Gang. Unlike most Disney characters, Pluto is not anthropomorphic beyond some characteristics such as facial expression. He is a yellow-orange color, medium-sized, short-haired dog with black ears. It's a Dog's Life with Bill Farmer debuts on Disney+ May 15, with new episodes arriving every Friday.Pluto is a cartoon character created by The Walt Disney Company. Any dog lover will almost certainly love this show, even if they're not serious Disney fans. While It's a Dog's Life has a pretty clear connection to traditional Disney, it's a simple show that could actually be seen on any streaming service or cable channel, showing a slight broadening in the sort of content that we're getting on Disney+. The guests will also bring their dogs of course. In addition to Bill Farmer, the watch party stream will include co-producer, Jenn Farmer, voice of Mickey Mouse Bret Iwan, and Yvette Nicole Brown, who will host the event. It will take place on May 15 at 4PM Pacific/7PM Eastern and can be viewed on YouTube, Facebook, or the D23 website. It's certainly a unique job for anybody, not just a dog, but Bill Farmer told me Eba, the dog on the hunt for killer whale poop was his favorite dog of all those he met during filming the season.ĭ23, the Disney Fan Club will be hosting a special watch party to go along with the premiere episode of It's a Dog's Life. We've got an exclusive first look at the first episode, that sees Bill travel to the pacific northwest, where he meets a dog tasked with locating killer whale pop in the ocean. While Bill Farmer's focus for the last three decades has been animated dogs, or animated dog adjacent, his new Disney+ series It's A Dog's Life with Bill Farmer will send the accomplished voice actor into the real world to meet real dogs. Goofy is related to dogs, perhaps in the same way humans are related to apes. It seems that there's no official word on what Goofy is, if not a dog, but Bill Farmer has his own theory, which I suppose makes sense. Instead, Pluto is a dog, and Goofy is something else. And so, he’s closely related to the dog family, but not quite.īefore he was Goofy, the character was known as Dippy Dawg, and so, it was clear that Goofy was supposed to be a dog in the same way that Mickey was a mouse and Donald was a duck, and yet, it seems that's not really the case. So, maybe Goofy is a separate species, 'canus goofus', or something like that. Now then, that asks ‘What is Goofy?’ And my best explanation: He’s like, a wolf is not a dog, but it’s dog-like. The official position is that Goofy is not a dog, but Pluto is.
