First shown in its original English dub in January of 2000 and rarely aired since was a short from Mickey Mouse Works titled "Minnie Takes Care of Pluto" (originally shown as part of the 16th episode of the series, which served as the third episode of season 2); the episode caused controversy due to its disturbing themes and was barred from re-airing in the US shortly following its debut.
The short sees Pluto being abruptly left at Minnie's house for the day, where he starts believing that she is out to kill him. Throughout the short, Pluto is both spurred on and consoled by his inner devil and angel respectively, resulting in Pluto taking an imaginary journey to hell and back. The short garnered a significant amount of complaints and as such was pulled from US screens indefinitely, though it continued airing infrequently in a number of other countries, sometimes in its original dub.
In the decade following, several foreign rips of the episode began appearing online, though the English audio remained totally unaccounted for, until the 9th of October, 2014, when a YouTube user by the name bumbumdbear uploaded a camcorder recorded English copy, cited as being sourced from Disney Channel Asia, circa 2010.
