4/10
Just a mutt

Warning: Spoilers
"Canine Caddy" is a 7-minute Disney cartoon from 1941 (the days of WWII), so this one had its 75th anniversary last year and it is from the days of World War II. The names Geronimi and Colvig make obvious of course that this is another Disney cartoon and if you didn't know then already, then you certainly will the moment you see Pluto and Mickey. As the title gives away already, the two are on a golf course here, but Pluto is not really a help at all to Mickey trying to improve his skill and handicap. And when eventually an enemy animal shows up, Pluto does not only destroy Mickey's ambitions, but the entire green. This is certainly not a film where Pluto is on the likable side I must say. It is also not really a particularly funny film or witty film. It is pretty fast yes and good-looking like basically everything from Disney around that time. Maybe you need to be a big Pluto fan or a big golf fan to appreciate this one here or preferrably both and have a soft spot for cartoons. The other animal near the end was an okay addition visually, but story-wise left me unimpressed too. Just like the entire thing. So yeah, I need to give this one a thumbs-down. Not recommended.
