Bone Trouble (1940) is an animated short produced by Walt Disney, and directed by Jack Kinney.[1] It stars Pluto and Butch the bulldog.

Plot

The short begins with Pluto waking up in his dog house. Pluto is hungry, but the birds have eaten his dish. Butch the Bulldog, who is sleeping nearby, has a bone which Pluto attempts to steal without awakening him. Pluto had to sneak past trees and tires to reach to the bone. He successfully steals it. Before Pluto can enjoy the bone, an angry Butch shows up, having awoken some time before. A surprised Pluto takes the bone and Butch chases him. Butch chases Pluto through town and into a deserted carnival. They go through the Tunnel of Love ride where Pluto reverses the chase. Butch loses sight of Pluto when Pluto goes into a hall of mirrors. The mirrors cause Pluto to transform into various animals. Pluto has fun with the mirrors until he sees Butch again. Pluto takes advantage of one set of mirrors to successfully scare Butch off, and even gets to keep the bone.

Production

The story was written by Carl Barks, soon to become a prolific and popular Disney comics artist and writer. This story partly inspired Barks' first Disney comics story, Pluto Saves the Ship, in 1942.[2]
