Walt Disney, Pluto, Be A Dog, Serigraph on Canvas, 1980s Limited Edition
"Be a Dog" by Disney Studio's artist (probably Art Babbitt), Limited Edition Disney Studio Collection, serigraph on the stretched canvas, marked "(c) Disney"; 1980s-1990s.
The artwork is supported by the cardboard behind the canvas and cardboard covering the stretches at the backside; 16" x 23" [40.7cm x 58.4cm]; the stretches are 1.1/2" thick. Very good condition.
Pluto is a cartoon character created by The Walt Disney Company. He is a yellow-orange color, medium-sized, short-haired dog with black ears. Unlike most Disney characters, Pluto is not anthropomorphic beyond some characteristics such as facial expression. He is Mickey's pet. Officially a mixed-breed dog, he made his debut as a bloodhound in the Mickey Mouse cartoon The Chain Gang. Together with Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck, Daisy Duck, and Goofy, Pluto is one of the "Sensational Six" -- the biggest stars in the Disney universe. Though all six are non-human animals, Pluto alone is not dressed as a human.
Pluto debuted in animated cartoons and appeared in 24 Mickey Mouse films before receiving his own series in 1937. All together Pluto appeared in 89 short films between 1930 and 1953. Several of these were nominated for an Academy Award.
Because Pluto does not speak, his films generally rely on physical humor. This made Pluto a pioneering figure in character animation, by expressing personality through animation rather than dialogue.
