Pluto's Dream House is a Mickey Mouse cartoon that was released in 1940.
In it, Mickey is building a new doghouse for Pluto, when he finds an invisible genie in a lamp. The genie goes on to help Mickey build the doghouse.
Tropes:
- All Just a Dream: The ending reveals that this is all a dream on Pluto's part.
- Blackface: In one scene, Pluto gets smeared with green and red paint, making it look like he's in blackface.
- The Chew Toy: Poor Pluto. First, he gets covered in paint while the genie is making his doghouse. Then, as the genie is giving him a bath, Pluto gets rolled out with a rolling pin, put into a bottle, poured into a greased pan, socked, stirred with two spades and three clubs, and put in a raspberry Jell-O mold that gets sliced. Pluto should thank his lucky stars this is All Just a Dream.
- Genie in a Bottle: An invisible genie in a lamp who talks like Eddie "Rochester" Anderson.
- Historical Longevity Joke: Inverted; Pluto's broken-down old doghouse is said to date back to "1926 AD," four years before Pluto made his first appearance.
- Literal Genie: The genie takes the instructions on the radio as commands, thus really putting Pluto through the wringer.
- Our Genies Are Different: This one talks like Rochester and is invisible, even though he still comes from a lamp.
- Servile Snarker: Just like Rochester, the genie tends to smart-talk with Mickey.
- Shout-Out: The genie talks like Eddie "Rochester" Anderson from The Jack Benny Program.
