Pluto and the Armadillo(1943)

Pluto and the Armadillo is a classic animated short in which Mickey and Pluto land in South America during a layover. When Mickey tosses Pluto's ball into the jungle, the dog bounds after it—only to encounter an armadillo curled into an identical sphere. Pluto's confusion spirals as he chases the creature through the undergrowth, eventually cornering it in a cave. In his excitement, he tears apart what he believes is the armadillo, only to discover he's destroyed his own ball. The mishap leaves him heartbroken until the armadillo reappears, and the two unlikely animals strike up a friendship. A charming tale of mistaken identity and unexpected companionship.
