"Pluto's Judgement Day" from 1935 was spoofed in the seventh episode of the twenty second season of "The Simpsons" "How Munched is That Birdie in the Window?" as the Itchy and Scratchy short "Dogday Hellody of 1933".
The 1949 Tom & Jerry Cartoon "Heavenly Puss" bears some resemblance to "Pluto's Judgement Day" from 1935 in the end, except the animals are reversed with a cat threatened by a demonic dog.
One of the picket signs the demonic Cats hold up in "Pluto's Judgement Day" reads: "Sic semper tyrannus", which is latin and usually translated to as: "Thus always to tyrants". Ironically, these words are often believed to be what Brutus said before stabbing Caesar and also what John Wilkes Booth, whose intention was to emulate Brutus, said before shooting President Abraham Lincoln in the back of the head.
"Pluto's Judgement Day" from 1935 is the first Cartoon to feature a newly-redesigned Mickey Mouse, who now has a pear-shaped body in order to appear more flexible.
Billy Bletcher voiced the Cat Prosecutor (a demonic-looking cat dressed in red robes), while Clarence Nash voiced the Cat Judge and the Kitten that Pluto was harassing at the start of the Cartoon. Bletcher would later go on to voice a devilish version of Spike in the 1949 Tom & Jerry Cartoon "Heavenly Puss", similarly to "Pluto's Judgement Day".
