Purely Joyful Movie!

I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

This is quite the boring Pluto short - basically, a narrator tells the story about Mickey and Pluto vacationing in Brazil, where Pluto tangles with an armadillo, who seemed to be smitten with Pluto. However, as with all things irregular with Pluto, the dog grows suspicious with the animal and chases it away. But, when he thought he hurt the poor thing, Pluto cries over it. This happens often in other cartoons of his - Pluto cries over things he was tormenting in the first place; he doesn't seem to know what he wants. Grade D--

This is a nice and humble cartoon. Original too. First of all, I love the Brazilian environment on this: the exotic scenario of Brazil, the samba music so full of rhythm (excellent for a dance) and the armadillo itself makes us think of Brazil.In this story, Mickey and Pluto travel to Brazil very briefly. During the few minutes they have available, they play with a rubber ball... but soon the armadillo enters in scene and confuses Pluto because he can roll itself to the exact shape of a ball - except that he is a living being! Lots of confusion to Pluto, but when Pluto finds out the mystery behind... they actually get along well.Mostly a comedy, this one also has an emotional part: when Pluto accidentally destroys the rubber ball and thinks he killed the armadillo, crying in so much pain and remorse.The artwork is great. The exotic Brazilian landscapes are very well drawn and colorful.

Though very much for small children (as ccthemovieman-1 points out), "Pluto and the Armadillo is a delight to watch, being a very sweet little cartoon with Pluto meeting an armadillo (who looks strangely like his ball). Just before he and Mickey need to go back home on a plane in South America, Mickey throws a rubber ball for Pluto to go and fetch. In doing so, Pluto discovers an armadillo, who has rolled him/herself up in a ball - just like the rubber one! Some confusion follows, then Pluto and the armadillo come to know each other.There is a surprisingly emotional bit in this cartoon, but apart from that, it is a perfect thing for little children to watch, those who like Pluto and Mickey anyway. I personally like it because it is very sweet and very heartwarming. The animation and the narration is also good and worth noting.I recommend this to people who like Pluto, Mickey, cute armadillos, little children's cartoons and for people who like cute cartoons. Enjoy "Pluto and the Armadillo"! :-)

This was quite informative, at least first two minutes, as we are given facts about the armadillo It was pretty interesting, too.The setting is Belem, Brazil, where we next see another species, "tourista Americano," deplane for a quick stopover. Actually we see two: Micky and Pluto. The dog sees a ball nearby (the armadillo forms that shape while protecting itself) and begins playing with it. Soon, the ball is the nearby jungle and it begins to cause Pluto all kinds of problems.That's basically, the gag in here: Pluto trying to deal with this strange creature who looks like a hard rubber ball, but is alive. The armadillo spends much of the cartoon batting her little eyes at Pluto, winning him over. It gets a little too repetitive.What you usually get with these old Disney cartoons is something to please the little kids, is mildly amusing for adults and looks good with bright, clean colors. This one was strictly for the little ones.
