    Nice seeing Pluto as a teacher of sorts.
    This is a nice little cartoon featuring Pluto, whose nap got disturbed by a little bird, who is having a hard time learning how to fly. Pluto takes on a new role as flying instructor, giving the bird lessons - from flying the bird like a kite to launching it with a slingshot. What results are some pretty funny results with Pluto being the one tumbling to the ground a couple of times.

    It's nice seeing Pluto being a teacher of some sorts - displaying a little frustration but determination in helping the bird fly. Pretty funny cartoon.
