The next short film in Disney Plus' "Shorts" section is "Canine Caddy" a Pluto short from 1941. I only made one note to myself about this "Why is Mickey such a Jerk?"
Mickey Mouse goes for a round of Golf and takes his trusty hound Pluto with him to act as Caddy. Though initially a distraction, Goofy proves himself more than capable of tracking and locating a wayward ball and not above helping his owner out if the ball looks in trouble. Unfortunately, Mickey's game disturbs a gopher and Pluto ends up chasing the animal around the greens, causing untold damage to the area.
I mean, we'll ignore for the sake of the cartoon logic that Mickey believes that Pluto is capable of operating as a Caddy, making club selections, etc whilst being an actual dog. Why is Mickey so angry with Pluto when he does minor things like scratching, the noise of which puts him off? Then the big eared jerk has no issues with Pluto cheating to help him out, even though it seems like Mickey isn't playing against anyone. Once the Gopher arrives were in much more familiar territory for the shorts from this sort of era we've seen.
It was fine, if not particularly memorable.
