The Moose Hunt is a Mickey Mouse short animated film first released on April 30, 1931, as part of the Mickey Mouse film series.[1] It was the twenty-eighth Mickey Mouse short to be produced and the fourth of that year.[2]
This is the first cartoon to feature Pluto as Mickey's pet – in his previous appearance, 1930's The Picnic, he was called "Rover" and lived with Minnie Mouse. The cartoon is dominated by Pluto's antics, he gets a minute and a half of solo screen time.[2]
Pluto speaks three times in the cartoon – crying "Mammy!", telling Mickey to "Kiss me!" and pointing out "The moose!" Except for one more "mammy" at the end of Mickey Steps Out, Pluto never speaks again.[2]
