To clarify, I am talking about a Disney cartoon that I watched on YouTube last night:
In the past, for the Halloween season I have reviewed some spooky cartoons; it seemed like the right time to do it again this year. You may have heard of this as “the one where Pluto is captured by a mad scientist who wants to cut off his head and put it on a chicken's body”; this is decidedly more morbid than typical for a Disney cartoon.
It starts off on a dark & stormy night and right away a figure cloaked in black kidnaps Pluto for transport to what is in essence Castle Greyskull. There's the expected iconography (besides the stormy night, inside the castle is skeletons, spiders, bats, etc.) and also some unexpected moments, such as a horror cliché ending that isn't so great-although understandable considering the target audience-and what can be best described as a 3D maze scene.
To reveal much more would be a shame; this black and white cartoon that has lovely animation can easily be found streaming on various websites; it is more a macabre delight than you might expect from something starring Pluto & Mickey Mouse.
