Review of Pluto's Playmate

. . . is abused, demeaned, ignored, dismissed and assaulted by one of its corporate shills for the Principle of Pale Face Power. Then, when PLUTO'S PLAYMATE springs into action to rescue the floundering canine from a sure drowning, the heroic title character is given a brief nod of recognition. Two hues comprise the Dizzy animators' color palette for the flipper critter: black and brown. This animated short earns high marks for being such a persuasive--some might call it insidious--teaching tool that the proper place of Individuals of Color is in subservient, under-appreciated support roles. Even when a Master Class representative such as Pluto literally attempts to permanently bury them, these denizens of the Under Classes should grin and bear such abuse, simply learning to "suck it up" while maintaining spit-eating grins on their visages. Furthermore, at the first sign of trouble threatening an Upper Crust One Per Center, any nearby untouchables should throw caution to the wind, and risk everything--including their own survival, if need be--to go the extra mile on behalf of their abusive betters.
