"Bone Trouble" is a Disney cartoon from 1940, so this one is from the earlier days of World War II and over 75 years already. The star here is Mickey's dog Pluto, voiced once again by Lee Millar, who in the absence of his owner tries his very best to sink his teeth into a most delicious bone if only it wasn't guarded by another dog 3 times Pluto's size. So the first half, this one is about Pluto's unsuccessful attempts to get the bone without waking up his competitor and eventually a wild chase sequence ensues that leads the duo into a theme park and there into a chamber of mirrors where the entire second half takes place, but I must say all the reflections there were just not enough to carry the film. At almost 9 minutes, it is definitely one of the longer cartoons from that time, but it also has some lengths as a consequence. I kinda liked the ending, but it didn't make up for all before that especially Pluto's strange reaction when he sees the other dog. Overall I don't think the biggest problem here is the subjective approach that Pluto is not my very favorite from the gang, but that the plot and also the lack of love to detail were a bit on the disappointing side. Seeing that Disney heavyweights Kinney and Barks (I kid you not!) made this one, it really is a bit of a letdown how it turned out. Don't watch.
