Review:

Pluto encounters a gopher in Minnie’s garden.

Minnie accidentally brings the gopher inside, where the chase continues, until the gopher is literally launched outside. It’s inside the house where the cartoon blossoms. However, the cartoon remains a little slow, and it is uncertain with whom we have to sympathize, for neither Pluto nor the Gopher is particularly endearing. The best scene is the one in which the gopher discovers that he’s trapped inside a foreign environment. His panic is both funny and heartfelt.

Watch ‘Pluto and the Gopher’ yourself and tell me what you think:

This is Pluto cartoon No. 34
