Wikipedia article
'Pluto's Judgement Day' is a 'Mickey Mouse' cartoon released theatrically in 1935. Although labeled a Mickey cartoon, the main star is Pluto. It was the 78th short film in the 'Mickey Mouse' series to be released, the seventh of that year.
Plot
Pluto chases a kitten through a window and right into Mickey's lap, causing a mess in Mickey's house. Mickey scolds Pluto for his cruel attitude towards cats, adding that he will have "plenty to answer for on (his) judgement day" if he keeps this up. Mickey then goes off to wash the kitten while Pluto falls asleep in front of the fireplace.
While asleep, a phantom cat goads Pluto into chasing him, over Mickey's objections, and Pluto is lured into a trap where he is shackled and put on trial as the cats declare him "Public Enemy No. 1" for all his crimes against cats. All the cats Pluto tormented testify against him: a tubby kitten speaks of being flattened by a steamroller, a psychiatric patient is wheeled out to demonstrate the post-traumatic stress disorder he developed from Pluto's barking, and three young kittens sing of how Pluto stole their meals and drowned their Uncle Tom (as Tom's nine ghosts briefly appear). Pluto is inevitably found guilty and is about to be burned alive by the angry cats, when he wakes up after a hot cinder from the fireplace strikes his rear. Pluto rushes off into the tub to ease the burn, and Mickey, washing the kitten, urges the two to make up, which each one readily does.
