'''''Pluto The Pup''''' is an animated cartoon character from the Creator/WaltDisney cartoon studio, the loyal pet of WesternAnimation/MickeyMouse and, for a while, the star of his own series of short subjects during UsefulNotes/TheGoldenAgeOfAnimation. At one point, he even overshadowed the mouse in his own cartoons. He is notable for being one of the few recurring classic Disney animal characters who is not anthropomorphized.

He acted as a foil for WesternAnimation/DonaldDuck, WesternAnimation/{{Figaro}}, Butch the Bulldog, WesternAnimation/ChipAndDale, and sometimes Salty the Seal and Milton the cat. He also occasionally has a LoveInterest in the forms of Fifi the Pekingese in the 1930s and Dinah the dachshund in the 1940s and '50s. In some comic stories he is also the official mascot for the [[ComicBook/DisneyDucksComicUniverse Junior Woodchucks.]]

* Mother Pluto: A SillySymphonies short centered around the pup.

* PoorlyDisguisedPilot: A year prior to Pluto getting his own individual shorts, one SillySymphonies cartoon, "Mother Pluto", was centered entirely around him, having virtually nothing in common with the typical Silly Symphonies short.

* Just Dogs: A SillySymphonies short where Pluto stars in his first role without Mickey.

** He also makes an appearance in the {{Goofy}} short "Victory Vehicles", a WartimeCartoon. This cartoon shows alternate modes of transportation (since gas and rubber were rationed). One vehicle is powered by a dog (hence, Pluto) that chases after a cat (a scraggly-looking black cat that bears a passing resemblance to Figaro), when it's put front of him.

* YouDirtyRat: In "Dog Watch", Pluto tries but fails to protect a ship from a rat that raids the officer's mess and gets Pluto blamed for it. Pluto, however, gets the last laugh in the end.

* TheChewToy

* Lend A Paw: A Mickey Mouse short with Pluto in a major role. Semi-remake of "Mickey's Pal Pluto". Won the 1942 UsefulNotes/AcademyAward, beating out the debut of [[Creator/FleischerStudios Max Fleischer's]] [[WesternAnimation/SupermanTheatricalCartoons Superman cartoons.]]

He acted as a foil for WesternAnimation/DonaldDuck, {{Figaro}}, Butch the Bulldog, WesternAnimation/ChipAndDale, and sometimes Salty the Seal and Milton the cat. He also occasionally has a LoveInterest in the forms of Fifi the Pekingese in the 1930s and Dinah the dachshund in the 1940s and '50s. In some comic stories he is also the official mascot for the [[ComicBook/DisneyDucksComicUniverse Junior Woodchucks.]]

* {{Jerkass}}: It shows up, but not as much as in Donald.

* BreakoutCharacter: Yes, even Pluto was more popular than MickeyMouse at some point. Poor rodent can't catch a break, can he?
