Answer: Americans associate Pluto with the Disney character of the same name.

Tyson discusses how after the planet Pluto was "demoted" and not considered a planet anymore, he noticed that people were particularly mad. He then wondered why this was the case, and the only reason he found was because it shared a name with a Disney cartoon:

<em>"I had to think long and hard about why [Pluto had] such a grip on the American body and soul, and after sifting through all kinds of possible arguments, I landed on one very simple one: There's a dog that shares the name. I'm blaming Disney completely — Mickey's dog, Pluto."</em>
