Comments

From Ryan : I recently taped this short off of the Disney Channel and I like it quite a bit. Pete and his rat henchman capture a group of puppies who are outside of school for recess. Detectives Alice and Julius, however, are on Pete's trail. They follow Pete to the sausage factory where he plans on turning the puppies into meat. Fortunately, the puppies are saved by Alice and Julius. I noticed that when Pete and the rat disguise themselves, they look a lot like Ku Klux Klansmen.

From Gijs Grob : Two dog catchers (a bear and a mouse) catch a whole school of dogs. They all end up in a prison, that contains a death chamber. We see a dog actually walk in there (after being salvaged by a dog priest). He comes out as a string of sausages... Luckily, detectives Alice and Julius free all remaining dogs. This cartoon contains quite some flexible animation, especially of the bear emptying the school.
