Although I'm not a big fan of the character Pluto and would not be interested in watching several Pluto cartoons in a row, many of his cartoons are fun and funny. Most of the shorts were well-animated with interesting stories. Lend A Paw (#7, 1941) won an Oscar for Best Cartoon.

I am disappointed that all the 48 cartoons are not in this set and I will have to wait a year or two for the remaining Pluto cartoons, since several of my favorite Pluto cartoons are in the last cartoons.

Mickey's faithful friend Pluto is unleashed in this first volume of the celebrated canine's cartoon capers. Spanning the years 1930 to 1947, these 29 classic shorts include Pluto's 1930 debut in "The Chain Gang" -- which was actually his first and second appearance playing unnamed, identical bloodhounds -- and the 1941 Academy Award(R)-winning short "Lend A Paw." The tales continue with a special "dogumentary" focusing on the birth and evolution of everybody's best friend, an excerpt from the TV program "A Story Of Dogs," a look back at the life of Pluto's father, animator Norman "Fergy" Ferguson, and more. It's no wonder Pluto's star rose faster than his temper.
