As I have said, the basic premise of Society Dog Show is very predictable. However putting that minor quibble aside, it is a hugely enjoyable silly symphony that fully reminds me of why I love Disney so much. Mickey is voiced by the master Walt Disney, and you have Pluto as energetic as ever, and voiced by the one and only Pinto Colvig. Another character that I loved was Fifi, who is not only really cute, but is at her most playful. The short is filled with clever and well timed gags, the best being the examination of Pluto by a disgruntled judge. Other elements that stood out were the gorgeous Technicolour animation and the music that is not only lively but quite lyrical as well. Overall, predictable, but nevertheless hugely enjoyable, where Pluto steals the show. I recommend it! 10/10 Bethany Cox

Mickey brings Pluto to a stuffy society dog show and has the temerity to enter his pooch. Not surprisingly, the judge is less than impressed with Pluto, though the dog ends up proving his worth when there is a fire and Pluto comes to the rescue.

Throughout the entire 1930s, the Disney Studio consistently made the best looking cartoons. Not only was the quality of animation the best in the industry, but they had an exclusive contract for several years for the use of Technicolor...true color...while the other studios generally made black & white films or films with primitive two-color systems (like Cinecolor). So the fact that "Society Dog Show" looks so darn good comes as no surprise whatsoever...folks came to expect excellence like this!

What you have is an excellently animated cartoon with a nice, enjoyable story...the sort of thing that helped to make Pluto a favorite for decades. Well worth seeing.

In this Disney cartoon, Mickey takes Pluto to a dog society show, where he has to compete with dozens of dogs (and their owners) with their noses up in the air. Pluto makes contact with future girlfriend Fifi, and later ends up saving her from a fire carelessly started by a photographer.

There's some funny chemistry between Pluto and Fifi and I like the way how Mickey tries to fit in with all the high-society people. There's not too much slapstick comedy or humor in this cartoon short, but there's a nice superhero scene when Pluto goes on to save Fifi from the fire (it has always bothered me how the photographer who started the fire was the first who cowardly runs away without helping anybody after the fire started to spread).

It's a predictable cartoon, but it's still pretty funny to watch.
