Comments

From Patrick Malone : I reviewed this one earlier when it showed up on the "101 Dalmatians" video. Nice and snappy, a little rehash of Chaplin's "Modern Times" brings us to a really funny sight gag, then on to the anticlimax at the end.

From Juan F. Lara : I LOL'ed at the sight of all those OTHER dogs trapped in the street cleaner. I didn't expect this sight gag and I liked the implication that the stuff that happens to Pluto in these shorts doesn't happen JUST to Pluto. Beyond that I didn't find anything special in this short. There was a scene where Pluto was put through various poses by the cleaning brushes, and they expect the poses to be funny all on their own. That probably works for kids.

From Lee Suggs : While doing his duty, Pluto is sucked up by a street cleaner. The scenes showing him moving through the cleaners pipes, and the cute surprise inside the cleaner, make this a fun, fast moving short. The ending is O.K., but not as good as the rest of the short.

I have seen "Pluto Gets the Paper : Street Cleaner" and would like to
