Review:
In ‘Cat Nap Pluto’ Pluto’s returning home in the morning from a very rough night, but he’s kept out of sleep by a very rise-and-shiny Figaro.
‘Cat Nap Pluto’ is an entertaining short. The funniest gags in this cartoon involve a very, very sleepy miniature Pluto sandman, who puts Pluto to sleep several times. Nevertheless, the cartoon pales when compared to the Tom & Jerry short ‘Sleepy Time Tom‘ (1951), which covers similar grounds.
‘Cat Nap Pluto’ is the second of three cartoons co-starring Pluto and Figaro, the other ones being ‘First Aiders’ from 1944 and ‘Pluto’s Sweater‘ from the next year.
Watch ‘Cat Nap Pluto’ yourself and tell me what you think:
This is Pluto cartoon No. 26
To the previous Pluto cartoon: Pluto’s Purchase
To the next Pluto cartoon: Pluto’s Fledgling
‘Cat Nap Pluto’ is available on the DVD-set ‘The Complete Pluto Volume Two’

You should update the links or show where to get these legally, Disney Plus has done such a terrible job of putting the old cartoons on there there’s like almost nothing on there. Max has done way better but I have the looney toons golden collection anyway but where do you get these legally? Luckily most of them are still up on youtube and dailymotion. Really seems like Disney doesn’t give a shit about their animation library. I guess Mickey is becoming public access soon so maybe all the cartoons will be on the web archive soon but they took freaking 1920s King Kong off youtube when Kong skull island started being promotoed so who knows.

It’s impossible to keep links up to date, as copyrighted films like this one come and go on the internet, and there are more than 1600 entries on this blog. This would be a day task.

Cat is such a dick and Pluto is too sympathetic, it almost gives off Itchy and Scratchy vibes. I like the sandman pluto using a big hammer.
