Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })The Pointer is a 1939 Disney animated short starring Mickey Mouse and Pluto.While on a hunting trip, Mickey teaches Pluto how to be a pointer and gives him the stern order to not move. However, the party is soon split up; while Pluto is bothered by a flock of quail while trying to stay still, Mickey has an awkward confrontation with a large grizzly bear.This short is notable for two reasons. One is that this marked the debut of Mickey's new design, in which his Black Bead Eyes were replaced by white sclerae with pupils, which gave allowed for a wider range of facial expressions. The second is for the scene where Mickey finds himself face-to-face with the bear, which is considered by many to be a highlight in animation acting; animated by Frank Thomas, this was the only time that Walt Disney performed as the live reference model, in addition to the voice, for his alter ego.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })

Puppy-Dog Eyes: When Mickey is scolding Pluto for scaring away a flock of quail, Pluto tries to elect sympathy with a cute smile while rolling on his back. Soon, all is forgiven.
