Comments

From Ryan : While Pluto is away, a cold and tired stork leaves his frigid marsh and wanders into Pluto's backyard. This short is okay, but it isn't one of my favorites. I find the plot with Pluto and the stork to get rather tiring after awhile. The background art, however, is wonderful.

From Dino Cencia : The funny part is when Pluto is trying to get into his doghouse and the stork moves away and Pluto shivers and he fights the stork trying to get warm. They keep fighting until the hot sun came out and it's like 100 degrees. So the stork trapped Pluto in his doghouse and it's really hot in there so Pluto moves his doghouse in cool cold water. And he's cool and relaxing and he's happy as the cartoon closes. I give this cartoon a 60.

I have seen "Cold Storage" and would like to
