Springtime for Pluto is a 1944 animated short starring Pluto.

Plot[]

The cartoon begins with a spirit playing a flute, awakening the spring. Pluto then wakes up and starts to get spring fever. Pluto imitates the other spring animals by doing their moves. While Pluto was following a baby bird, they spot a caterpillar coming up from a hole, singing her heart out in falsetto, but stops when she spots the birds mouth. Scared to see the bird, the caterpillar closes its beak and retreats into the hole, but the bird grabs on to the rear end and attempts to pull the caterpillar out of the hole like a rubber band with Pluto. The bird gets stuck in the hole, but the caterpillar kicks it out of the hole like a cork. The caterpillar digs out of another hole, grumpy, but she brightens up and climbs up on Pluto's tail while singing the metamorphosis in her brain, transforming into a cocoon. Then, all of a sudden, the caterpillar becomes a beautiful female butterfly woman. The butterfly flutters around Pluto and she lands on his nose. Then the butterfly does a dance on a flower with a dew drop, and Pluto mimics her and dances away. Unaware that Pluto was dancing with a beehive, a swarm of angry bees attacked Pluto. Pluto then hid in a bush, which mistakenly is poison ivy, causing Pluto to itch like crazy. Then, he lands in a goldenrod patch, which results in Pluto sneezing because of his allergies. Then, it rains on Pluto, making him feel sad and retreats to his dog house. The spirit from the beginning walks off with an umbrella, only to be chased by an angry Pluto.
