AMUSEMENT + THEME PARKS
The latest caught-on-tape, viral web phenom features Disneyland’s Pluto chasing a little boy around Main Street USA before an angry mother scolds the big fuzzy dog and shoves the costumed canine to the ground.
The YouTuber who posted the video wasn’t sure why Pluto gave chase, but said the character and his handler returned after the tape stopped rolling to discuss the incident with the pushy woman. More than 700 723,772 viewers have watched the clip.
The video gained traction with over 1,400 Diggs, where one commenter reported the mother said to Pluto “What’s your problem?” in Spanish and threatened to call security before a paw-pointing Pluto leveled an assault accusation against the boy. (I, myself, couldn’t make out any of the audio.)
From there, the video spread via the mainstream media with the Los Angeles CBS station feeding affiliates nationwide and MSNBC suggesting "the little bugger kicked Pluto in his planets." The requisite parody followed to the tune of Benny Hill’s TV theme song.
