Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Pluto and the Armadillo is a 1943 animated short film from Disney starring Pluto the Pup. It was initially going to be a part of the film Saludos Amigos, but was not finished in time for the film's theatrical release.The short has Mickey Mouse and Pluto visiting South America. While there, Mickey and Pluto play fetch with a rubber ball. Mickey throws the ball into the jungle, and Pluto chases after it. In the jungle, the ball hits a female armadillo who quickly rolls herself up into a ball - and coincidentally, while in her ball form, the armadillo just so happens to look exactly like Pluto's ball. As a result, Pluto initially thinks that the armadillo is his ball, and then when he finally finds his actual ball, he becomes confused. Eventually the armadillo unfurls and reveals that she is in fact an armadillo to Pluto. The armadillo immediately takes a liking to Pluto, but Pluto is initially suspicious of it.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

Artistic License – Biology: Armadillos don't sleep up in trees, especially not hanging by their tails in a "basket" shape. Rule of Funny.

Animal Stereotypes: The armadillo is described as being a timid creature, and indeed the short milks the "rolls itself up into a ball" stereotype for all it's worth. It doesn't appear to be Made of Iron so much as it is Made of Rubber.

Be the Ball: The armadillo, being an armadillo, can roll herself up into a ball, and this is what drives the plot of the short. Eventually, Pluto rolls himself up into a ball as well.

Big Friendly Dog: Pluto, of course. When he realizes that the armadillo is alive after mistakenly believing that he tore it up (he actually popped his ball), he gives her a lick. He does it again at the end of the short when it's revealed the Armadillo has tagged along with Mickey and Pluto onto the plane.

All Animals Are Dogs: The armadillo wags her tail after Pluto licks her face right before she jumps up and turns into a ball.
