 Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })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_mobile_ad_2'); })

 Delayed Reaction: "Hey, look, Pluto. It's you." Then Mickey realizes that if Pluto is in front of him, then who's been behind him all this time?

 Animation Bump: This is one of the most lavish of Mickey's shorts. Of special note are the gorgeous backgrounds and the shading on Pluto and Mickey.

 Looking a Miffed Animal in the Mouth: When Mickey finally looks behind him, he finds himself staring straight into a bear's huge growling maw.
