What if StudioCanal is founded in 1937?/Carlstoons/Red Dot and Crazy Question Mark/Dog Gone (1939 film)

Dog Gone is a 1939 American one-reel animated short subject featuring Red Dot and Crazy Question Mark, the two title characters from the Carlstoons series. It was directed by Ub Iwerks and Walt Disney and produced by Stanley Carls. It was released in theatres on March 17, 1939. The cartoon is the eighth to last in the characters' long-running film series.

Plot
Red Dot has been selected to judge a dog show. As a scheme, he tells Crazy Question Mark to participate, assuring the latter will come out the victor.

Later when the dog show is about to begin, Crazy puts on a dog suit before entering. At the contest, Red observes the other dogs. Red then approaches Crazy whom he momentarily declares the winner. This provoked great envy from the other dogs as they chase Crazy out of the scene. Red also runs to save his buddy.

Moments after being pursued, Crazy manages to lure the dogs into the container of a horse-drawn carriage. While he tries to get away, the carriage's driver catches and tosses him inside too. The carriage arrives at a sausage plant. The driver then inserts the dogs through an opening on the plant's wall where they slide into a machine which turns them into sausages. Not wanting to share their fate, Crazy tries his best to avoid dropping in. After some trouble with a broom-wielding worker, Crazy partially falls into the machine. Fortunately, he is able to get off, and only his dog suit gets devoured. Meanwhile, Red eventually finds and enters the carriage. As a consequence, the driver, thinking there is one more dog left, obliviously passes Red into the machine. Red somehow gets stuck midway with legs sticking out. Jeff then pulls out his buddy, until they drop through the opening. When they are outside, Crazy notices Red's disfigured body, and laughs. Annoyed by this, Red pounds and knocks out Crazy.
