Pluto’s Corner Walt Disney Studios Tour #McFarlandUSAEvent

I’m a #McFarlandUSAEvent Blogger. My trip is courtesy of Disney, however, all opinions are my own.

Across from the Disney Animation Building, at the corner of Mickey Avenue and Dopey Drive is Pluto’s Corner.

This sign was installed as a prop for the 1941 short film “The Reluctant Dragon,” where Robert Benchley, father of Jaw’s actor Peter Benchley, dashes around the studio in search of Walt Disney to pitch him a story.

If you follow the sign to the several departments, you’ll find yourself lost… they point the wrong direction.  Right next to the street sign is a fire hydrant with a sign painted on the curb “Pluto’s Corner.”  In the cement next to the hydrant are three distinct paw prints. Why three? It’s obviously Pluto’s corner!
