Pluto, also called Pluto the Pup,[1] is a cartoon character created in 1930 by Walt Disney Productions. He is a yellow orange-color, medium-sized, short-haired dog with dark-colored ears. Unlike most Disney characters, Pluto is not anthropomorphic beyond some characteristics such as facial manifestation, though he did speak for a short part of his history.[2] He is Mickey Mouse's pet. Officially a mixed-breed dog,[3] this individual made his debut as a bloodhound in the Mickey Mouse cartoon The Chain Gang.[4] Together with Mickey Mouse button, Minnie Mouse, Donald Sweet, Daisy Duck, and Wacky, Pluto is one of the "Sensational Six"--the biggest stars in the Disney universe.[5] Nevertheless all six are non-human animals, Pluto alone is not dressed as a human.[6]
Pluto first showed in animated cartoons and appeared in 24 Mickey mouse Mouse films before acquiring his own series in 1937. All together Pluto appeared in 89 brief films between 1930 and 1953. Several of these were nominated for an Academy Award, such as the Tip (1939), Squatter's Rights (1946), Pluto's Blue Note (1947), and Mickey and the Seal (1948). Among his films, Lend a Foot (1941), won the prize in 1942.[7][8] Because Pluto does indeed not speak, his motion pictures generally rely on physical humor. This made Pluto a pioneering figure in character animation, which is expressing personality through movement rather than dialogue.[9]
Like all of Pluto's co-stars, your dog has came out extensively in comics over the years, first making an appearance in 1931.[10] He delivered to theatrical animation in 1990 with The Royal prince and the Pauper and has also appeared in several direct-to-video films. Pluto also appears in the tv set series Mickey Mouse button Works (1999-2000), House of Mouse (2001-2003), and Mickey mouse Mouse Clubhouse (2006-2013).
Over 10 years ago, Disney's copyright on Pluto, set to expire in several years, was prolonged by the passage of the Sonny Bono Copyright laws Term Extension Act. Disney, along with other broadcasters, lobbied for passage of the act to maintain their copyrights on personas such as Pluto for 20 additional years.
