    I accidentally came across this cartoon and was pleased.

    Suddenly, a short meter. And he's so old. He was in Olaf's New Year's compilation from The Cold Heart, and he was the funniest one in that compilation. Most of all, there are similarities with Tom and Jerry, because both of them are chasing after a small creature(s), everything falls down, such simple humor breaks.

    Nothing More Classic!

    When I think Disney Christmas shorts, I think of Pluto's Christmas Tree. When I think of classic Chip N Dale, I think of Pluto's Christmas Tree. When I think Disney Christmas anything, I think of Pluto's Christmas Tree. To me, Pluto's Christmas Tree, is one of those iconic films in the Disney archive that you need to see. It shows the Disney magic in only a few short minutes. You can't help but feel good and laugh at this classic Disney short.

    Pluto's Christmas Tree

    A nice festive themed cartoon short. Pluto's Christmas Tree features the chipmunks Chip and Dale who happen to be in the Christmas tree that Mickey Mouse chops down.

    Pluto pursues Chip and Dale but without success as Mickey goes about his very merry way decorating the Christmas tree.

    There is some very nice animation and plenty of festive themed incidental music. Minnie, Donald and Goofy pop up at the end singing some carols.

    Pluto's Christmas Tree is a very enjoyable Walt Disney Christmas cartoon

    Just went on YouTube and rediscovered this classic cartoon from Walt Disney starring Mickey Mouse, Pluto, and Chip 'n' Dale that I first saw on "The Wonderful World of Disney" on December 25, 1977 when the episode was the all-animated "From All of Us to All of You". In this one, Mickey and his dog live in a cabin near the tree that the chipmunks reside in. C 'n' D have some mischief with the yellow dog before master Mickey chops their tree down. Since the mouse is oblivious to the little rodents, Pluto risks trouble in pursuing them...Directed by usual Donald Duck helmer Jack Hannah, Pluto's Christmas Tree shows nice timing in many visual gags especially of the chase variety though they do pale somewhat compared to the kinds of pacing that abound in the Warner Bros. and M-G-M cartoons of this period. Still, it's enjoyable enough and well worth seeing for Walt Disney enthusiasts of all kinds.

    A hugely enjoyable short that is one of my favourites!

    Pluto's Christmas Tree is perfect for 10 minutes for silly fun. It features the ever lovable chipmunks Chip and Dale, who happen to be in the Christmas tree that Mickey cuts down. Most of the short sees Pluto pursuing Chip and Dale, and the scene when he dives into the Christmas Tree after them and the bit before that made me laugh so much. The animation here is beautiful, I loved how they animated the inside of the Christmas tree. I also loved the incidental music, with the lovely choral arrangement of Deck The Halls at the beginning. Here you have your favourite characters, Mickey who is more of a minor role, compared to the increasingly silly but funny antics of Pluto and the chipmunks, who i consider the stars of the show. Minnie, Donald and Goofy even do a cameo at the end, and I will say I loved the ending, when the chipmunks put a sticker on Pluto's mouth saying "Do not open until next Xmas." Great vocals from Edward Brophy, James McDonald and Ducky Nash. A hugely enjoyable short, that I still watch at 17 years old. It just shows you're never old to still love and appreciate Disney. 10/10 Bethany Cox.
