Plutopia is a short starring Mickey Mouse and Pluto that was released on May 18, 1951.

Synopsis

Mickey's on vacation at Camp Utopia. At first, Pluto thinks it really is utopia: trees everywhere and a cat to chase. But the cabin rules are strict: no dogs indoors, and dogs must be muzzled and leashed. Mickey puts Pluto out to sleep, just out of reach of his food, and Milton comes down and taunts him. Pluto falls asleep and dreams of his "Plutopia" with a subservient Milton begging Pluto to bite him and catering to his every need.

Characters

Mickey Mouse (voiced by Jimmy MacDonald)
Pluto (voiced by Pinto Colvig)

Trivia

Although the original theatrical poster and the existing Buena Vista reissue copy used in circulation on Disney's home video releases of the cartoon was released as a Pluto cartoon, it was discovered that the original RKO titles found on a 16mm print sold on eBay showed that it was originally released as a Mickey Mouse cartoon.
Two transition levels based off of this short were featured in the 2010 Nintendo Wii video game Epic Mickey.
When this cartoon was on Mickey's Mouse Tracks, a scene where Milton almost shot himself, with Pluto taking the gun offscreen, was cut.
