Mickey's going golfing, and Pluto is his caddy. Besides the usual caddy duties, Pluto runs to the ball and points to it. But when the ball lands in a gopher hole, Pluto's got another task: chase the gopher. They eventually chase each other through a number of holes in a knoll where Mickey is trying to putt out, causing the knoll to collapse.

Intcatinfo A Masterpiece!
Comwayon A Disappointing Continuation
Livestonth I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible
Marva It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,
Horst in Translation (filmreviews@web.de) "Canine Caddy" is a 7-minute Disney cartoon from 1941 (the days of WWII), so this one had its 75th anniversary last year and it is from the days of World War II. The names Geronimi and Colvig make obvious of course that this is another Disney cartoon and if you didn't know then already, then you certainly will the moment you see Pluto and Mickey. As the title gives away already, the two are on a golf course here, but Pluto is not really a help at all to Mickey trying to improve his skill and handicap. And when eventually an enemy animal shows up, Pluto does not only destroy Mickey's ambitions, but the entire green. This is certainly not a film where Pluto is on the likable side I must say. It is also not really a particularly funny film or witty film. It is pretty fast yes and good-looking like basically everything from Disney around that time. Maybe you need to be a big Pluto fan or a big golf fan to appreciate this one here or preferrably both and have a soft spot for cartoons. The other animal near the end was an okay addition visually, but story-wise left me unimpressed too. Just like the entire thing. So yeah, I need to give this one a thumbs-down. Not recommended.
ccthemovieman-1 "What a swell day for a game of golf," proclaims Mickey as he and his caddy "Goofy" set out to enjoy a round. In the end, his caddy demolishes the golf course by chasing a gopher around and around. the 18-hol course.In between are some funny scenes with Goofy "pointing" to the ball, having the ball land on his butt and Mickey knocking it off and a few other things. Too much of this animated short involves chasing the gopher and overall, it's just a "fair" cartoon. It just have stuck more with the golf story.
Ron Oliver A Walt Disney MICKEY MOUSE Cartoon.Pluto acts as CANINE CADDY for Mickey's golf game - with predictable results.Good animation is the highlight of this otherwise unremarkable little film. The Pup has far more screen time than The Mouse, especially after the arrival of the requisite tiny critter - in this instance a gopher - into the plot to plague Pluto.Walt Disney (1901-1966) was always intrigued by drawings. As a lad in Marceline, Missouri, he sketched farm animals on scraps of paper; later, as an ambulance driver in France during the First World War, he drew figures on the sides of his vehicle. Back in Kansas City, along with artist Ub Iwerks, Walt developed a primitive animation studio that provided animated commercials and tiny cartoons for the local movie theaters. Always the innovator, his ALICE IN CARTOONLAND series broke ground in placing a live figure in a cartoon universe. Business reversals sent Disney & Iwerks to Hollywood in 1923, where Walt's older brother Roy became his lifelong business manager & counselor. When a mildly successful series with Oswald The Lucky Rabbit was snatched away by the distributor, the character of Mickey Mouse sprung into Walt's imagination, ensuring Disney's immortality. The happy arrival of sound technology made Mickey's screen debut, STEAMBOAT WILLIE (1928), a tremendous audience success with its use of synchronized music. The SILLY SYMPHONIES soon appeared, and Walt's growing crew of marvelously talented animators were quickly conquering new territory with full color, illusions of depth and radical advancements in personality development, an arena in which Walt's genius was unbeatable. Mickey's feisty, naughty behavior had captured millions of fans, but he was soon to be joined by other animated companions: temperamental Donald Duck, intellectually-challenged Goofy and energetic Pluto. All this was in preparation for Walt's grandest dream - feature length animated films. Against a blizzard of doomsayers, Walt persevered and over the next decades delighted children of all ages with the adventures of Snow White, Pinocchio, Bambi, Peter Pan and Mr. Toad. Walt never forgot that his fortunes were all started by a mouse, or that simplicity of message and lots of hard work always pay off.
jasonbres This is a very funny cartoon. I think my favorite part is when Mickey's golf ball gets into a sand trap and when he swings it, the sand goes onto Pluto and he starts to look like the Egyptian Spynx. I saw this down in Walt Disney World.
