Comments

From Ryan : This short is okay, but it isn't one of my favorites. I find the plot where a character tries to impress his lover to get rather boring for me.

From Dino Cencia : This Pluto cartoon is funny! The funny part is when Pluto does amazed being a circus dog, and Dinah is happy and sighs hearts at him in the poster of the wonder dog. Now Pluto is the Wonder Dog! (Fanfare!) Dinah liked Pluto's show being a circus dog. I give it a 50.

From Baruch Weiss : What made this short worthwile was (of course) the music even though it was cribbed from Dumbo and 'The Flying Donkey' segment in The Three Caballeros!

I have seen "Wonder Dog" and would like to
