History
1933-1950
Fifi first appeared, in the 1933 Mickey Mouse cartoon Puppy Love as Minnie Mouse's pet dog and Pluto's love interest. A year later, Fifi would return in The Dognapper (1934), where she is taken by dognapper Pegleg Pete, being the first time Fifi had appeared without Pluto. Two years later, Fifi would appear for time in color, in cameo appearance in Mickey's Polo Team (1936), being the first time she had appeared without Minnie.
In 1937, Pluto was given his own series of solo-starring cartoons, starting with Pluto's Quin-puplets, where Fifi and Pluto have quin-puplets. Two years later, she would return, in Society Dog Show and Mickey's Surprise Party (1939), as Minnie's pet dog again. Eight years later, she would return in Pluto's Blue Note (1947), being the only time Fifi was alongside Dinah the Dachshund, Pluto's other love interest.
1950-present
Fifi disappeared from animation, after being replaced with Figaro (whom first appeared in the Disney's 1940 animated film, Pinocchio as Geppetto's pet) as Minnie's pet and Dinah the Dachshund as Pluto's love interest, but appeared in the line of merchandise called Minnie 'n Me as Minnie's dog. Later, she would be redesigned, now with an orange coat with cream muzzle, belly and paws. She has brown ears and tail, a black nose, white eyes and a green lace around her neck. The design was continued to be used in video games such, as Disney Crossy Road, story books and more.
