Mickey Mouse Works | comment |
In 1999, the stars of the Classic Disney Shorts returned to starring in regular cartoon shorts. But rather than being made to play right before selected movies in theaters (although a few of them actually did premiere there anyway beforehand), these new cartoons were going to be shown alongside other Disney cartoons like Recess and Pepper Ann. Mickey Mouse (starring in his first cartoon series produced by Disney Television Animation) and the gang's new show, titled Mickey Mouse Works, made its debut on ABC's One Saturday Morning programming block on May 1, 1999. It followed a Three Shorts format, with each five-minute short starring one of Mickey's gang, and even mixing characters who rarely, if ever, interacted in the older cartoons (i.e. Mickey taking care of Donald Duck's nephews or Mickey trying to impress Minnie Mouse when he thinks she's leaving him for José Carioca). Sometimes, the characters starred in newly-made installments of the Silly Symphonies, in which the stories were set entirely to music and without dialogue. Once per Episode, there would also be one or two 90-second gag shorts with the following umbrella titles: Mickey to the Rescue: Mickey breaks into Pete's none-too-secret hideout to rescue Minnie from the traps within. Maestro Minnie: Minnie conducts shortened musical pieces with a rather rebellious orchestra. Goofy's Extreme Sports: Goofy performs extreme sports. It's exactly what the title says. Donald's Dynamite: Someone apparently has it out for Donald, because he keeps finding lit bombs in the middle of his activities that just won't leave him alone. Von Drake's House of Genius: Professor Ludwig Von Drake shows off his latest invention, which then always backfires in some way. Hilarity Ensues. Pluto Gets the Paper: Pluto has humorous incidents while trying to fetch Mickey's newspaper.In addition, Mouse Works also occasionally ran shorts that ran twice the usual length, dubbed Mouse Tales, in which the characters performed classic stories they hadn't already done adaptations for.On January 13, 2001, Mickey Mouse Works was replaced with a new series titled Disney's House of Mouse, which has the cartoons presented within the framing device of a nightclub being run by Mickey and Co.

HilarityEnsues | |
Mickey Mouse Works / int_149ff4b0 | comment |
A good number of shorts fall under the premise of "Mickey, Donald and Goofy are X. Hilarity Ensues", where X is a job such as being painters or car washers or whatnot, complete with almost identical opening scenes. Lampshaded when the jobs get ridiculous ("Organ Donors", anyone?), and subverted when their job goes Off the Rails. | |

Totem Pole Trench | |
Mickey Mouse Works / int_14a44e40 | comment |
Totem Pole Trench: Huey, Duey and Louie want to get on a ride in a theme park that Donald is guarding and says they're too small for in "Donald's Rocket Ruckus". In one scene Donald sees a very tall woman wobbling about and approaching the ride. Donald stops the "woman" and rips off her dress to find she's just a really tall now naked unbalanced woman. Donald then gets punched in the face. Played straight (and combined with Latex Perfection) in "Donald's Halloween Scare", where Donald Duck is confronted by Chief O'Hara, who turns out to really be Huey, Dewey and Louie disguised while standing on top of each other and Louie wearing a rubber mask. | |

Visual Pun | |
Mickey Mouse Works / int_1ba8eb64 | comment |
Visual Pun: In "Organ Donors", the toy maker explains to Mickey that he needs an organ (aka innards) after he explains this, Mickey exclaims that he has a screw loose. Then we see that the machine has a screw loose, which is then screwed tight. In "Donald's Pool", Donald yells at Horace Horsecollar for horsing around, informs Pluto that no doggy paddling is allowed, and yells at some chickens that no chicken fights are allowed. One of the recipes Mickey tries in "Mickey Tries to Cook" is putting everything into a casserole. After putting together all the food he used before, he then adds a kitchen sink. | |

Mickey Mouse Works / int_2439e725 | comment |
Saved by a Terrible Performance: Invoked in "Mickey and the Goat Man". After Mickey, Minnie, and Mortimer are captured by a Goat Man who claims to keep the things he likes, Mortimer give the Goat Man the offer to let them go if he and Mickey give him a performance that he loves. However Minnie tells Mickey to purposefully be extremely lousy which he does. The Goat Man loves Mortimer's performance but hates Mickey's. However he lets Mickey and Minnie go while telling Mortimer once again that he keeps the things he likes. | |

Your Television Hates You | |
Mickey Mouse Works / int_2479b6c0 | comment |
Your Television Hates You: In "Donald's Goofy World", Donald (after finding nothing but articles about Goofy in the Goofy Gazette) tries to get his mind off Goofy with a little television. He promptly gets nothing but shows about Goofy - specifically, he finds Goofy the Vampire Slayer, Goofield ("What's the deal with Donald's house? It looks like a boat, but it's not a boat!"), I Love Goofy, and Goofy's Goof Works. "Hickory Dickory Mickey" has Mickey trying to drown out the tick-tocking of a clock he borrowed from Goofy with some television. He gets "The Tick-Tock Channel". Before this, he tries the radio, and ends up getting "The All-Tick Station" and "The All-Tock Station". In another cartoon, "Pluto's Magic Paws", Pluto is looking for something dog-related to watch, only to find that every channel is showing cat-centric programming. | |

Mistaken for Murderer: The premise of "Minnie Takes Care of Pluto" is that Pluto is convinced by his shoulder devil that Minnie intends to kill him. This is not helped when Pluto believes that Minnie is trying to poison him when she attempts to feed him and later assumes she intends to bury him alive when she starts digging a hole for a plant. | |

Covered in Kisses | |
Mickey Mouse Works / int_26203f22 | comment |
Covered in Kisses: A cute white Maltese terrier with blue eyes named Tiki does this to Pluto in the short "Pluto's Penthouse Sweet". Pluto likes Tiki but realizes that if he wants to stay with her, he'll have to marry her and leave his owner Mickey Mouse. So he tries to escape from her endless barrage of kisses. At one point he hides in a grandfather clock. It turns out that Tiki was in the clock waiting for him. There is a struggle and once he leaves most of his body is covered with lipstick marks. Tiki is not shown to wear lipstick and all of the other times she kisses Pluto she leaves no such marks. So she either put on some lipstick when she got Pluto alone in the grandfather clock or this was all just for comedic effect (the latter is more likely). | |

Mythology Gag | |
Mickey Mouse Works / int_26ac510e | comment |
Mythology Gag: In "How to Ride a Bike", the narrator refers to Goofy as Mr. Biker, which is similar to how the short Motor Mania had the narrator refer to Goofy's characters as Mr. Walker and Mr. Wheeler. "Mickey's April Fool's" is chock full of 'em, such as Mickey trying to prove his identity by transforming into his likeness from "Steamboat Willie," "The Band Concert," "The Brave Little Tailor" and even the Mickey Mouse Disco album. One "Pluto Gets The Paper" sketch has Pluto trying to yank the newspaper off of a bubble gum wad, similarly to a sequence in Playful Pluto where he famously gets flypaper stuck onto him. "Mickey's Big Break" has Mickey and Donald dress up as Minnie and Daisy, and with Clarabelle and Goofy commenting on how "Daisy" is starting to sound like Donald. In fact, that's how Daisy sounded like in her official debut in Mr. Duck Steps Out. Each short also opens with a modernized reimagining of the "character head" title card sequences from the classic theatrical shorts (i.e. instead of a still shot of Mickey's smiling head on a sunburst fading to the text "A Walt Disney MICKEY MOUSE", Mickey's smiling head and the sunburst zoom in really close and back up a bit (ala the WB shield in the Looney Tunes cartoon Lumberjack Rabbit) and then zoom out to make way for the animated text "A MICKEY MOUSE Cartoon.") It's even been done with Daisy Duck, Ludwig Von Drake, and one with Mickey, Donald and Goofy's heads all together, which were not done in the classic shorts (particularly since Ludwig was created for Walt Disney's Wonderful World of Color TV show, and classic shorts featuring Mickey, Donald and Goofy generally just had the Mickey Mouse opening titles.) | |

Mickey Mouse Works / int_28f852ea | comment |
Wholesome Crossdresser: In "Mickey's Big Break", Mickey and Donald use the fact that they're only a few Tertiary Sexual Characteristics away from being Minnie and Daisy's twins in order to replace a picture that they ruined. Donald doesn't get it right the first time, though, because his first attempt at looking like Daisy has hair and breasts larger than Daisy's! Mickey doesn't fare as well either, having a floppy ribbon bow and the wrong kind of shoes. Their second attempts hit much closer to home. | |

Accidental Pervert: There are two cases. Mickey falls into this trope in "Future Mania" after Ludwig Von Drake hooks him up to his future-viewing machine. When he tries to contact Minnie on a viewing monitor, he ends up seeing her in a towel. His attempts to keep Minnie from getting angry only serve to dig himself deeper. Donald falls into this trope in "Donald's Rocket Ruckus" when he mistakes a woman (a very tall duck) for Huey, Dewey and Louie in disguise and rips off her dress. | |

Mickey Mouse Works / int_3b8d9f36 | comment |
Literal Money Metaphor: In "Mickey's April Fools", Mickey wins a sweepstakes that affords him "one million bucks". However, the lawyer (secretly Mortimer Mouse in disguise) is unconvinced that Mickey is who he says he is because he was declared dead (as a part of an April Fool's prank on Mortimer himself). Mortimer then tries convincing the real lawyer that he is Mickey so that he can get the prize. The lawyer gives him his bucks — a herd of a million stampeding deer. After this knocks him unconscious, the lawyer reveals himself to be Minnie. | |

Noodle Incident | |
Mickey Mouse Works / int_3c0a4666 | comment |
Noodle Incident: In the cartoon "Pluto's Seal Deal", Mickey mentions to Pluto to not have another incident with him saying at the end "No firetrucks and no news crew." This is also used in "Daisy's Big Sale" when Minnie reminds Daisy that every time she helps her with her wild schemes, it always ends badly. We then see flashbacks of Minnie and Daisy being in full-body casts, getting arrested, and falling into wet cement, with no explanation given as to how those events happened to the girls. Both shorts featuring the Phantom Blot imply that he already encountered Mickey and his friends before. "Mickey and the Color Caper" has Mickey immediately realizing that the Phantom Blot is the one making the colors disappear, while "Mickey Foils the Phantom Blot" has the Blot state that Mickey and his friends have met him again for the last time. | |

Musical Nod | |
Mickey Mouse Works / int_3e24cb38 | comment |
Musical Nod: The general theme to Mouse Works (which recurred in many of the shorts) is actually a rearrangement of the classic Disney song "Minnie's Yoo Hoo," making this one of the few songs used in Mouse Works itself that was a nod to a previous one. | |

Bittersweet Ending: Minnie finally delivers her pie to Daisy in "Minnie Visits Daisy", but she ends up in jail because she resorted to breaking and entering. On the bright side, the short ends with Minnie throwing the pie into Daisy's face in a rare instance of Daisy getting her comeuppance for obliviously putting her friend through hell. | |

Beach Episode: The cartoon "Mickey's Rival Returns" is set entirely at a beach, and as the title implies, features the return of Mickey's rival, Mortimer Mouse. The plot revolves around Mickey challenging Mortimer to a game of volleyball to win Minnie's affection, and even though he won, Mortimer tricks Minnie into thinking Mickey only won because she is his "trophy". Although Mickey does triumph at the end when he sends Mortimer flying after he tries to give Minnie a kiss during their luau date. | |

Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Donald may be short-tempered and mean towards his friends and nephews, but he does show that he cares about them plenty of times. While she often gives everyone else hell, Daisy is shown to actually care about Donald when she appears in his shorts and some of Minnie's shorts featuring Daisy end with Daisy sincerely apologizing to Minnie for giving her problems. | |

Characterization Marches On | |
Mickey Mouse Works / int_479f9ad0 | comment |
Characterization Marches On: All of the characters have specific characterizations for their cartoons, which are consistent in show but somewhat different from what they've had previously. For example... Mickey becomes much more of a Straight Man, as apposed to being The Everyman with Straight Man elements - in particular he gains quite a bit of Deadpan Snarker traits. Daisy's personality here is being self-centered and annoyingly childish/inconsiderate, but highly oblivious about it. Donald's Butt-Monkey traits are played up, way up. | |

Paper-Thin Disguise: Mortimer frames Mickey for breaking into his house and stealing his property in the short "Big House Mickey".

This fools the judge even though Mortimer is much taller than Mickey and has a very different facial structure. | |

Escalating War | |
Mickey Mouse Works / int_534bc834 | comment |
Escalating War: In "Rollercoaster Painters", Mickey and Donald become so obsessed with winning a lifetime pass to an amusement park that they each try to outdo one another in how much of the park's roller coaster they can paint. One thing leads to another, and they wind up getting into a paint war on the coaster, with Mickey pitching buckets of the red paint he was using at Donald, and Donald pelting Mickey with water balloons full of the blue paint Donald was using. In the end, neither of them win — the winner, instead, is Goofy, who simply did his painting duties in a slow-and-steady way. | |

Can't Get Away with Nuthin' | |
Mickey Mouse Works / int_5f6c6cc1 | comment |
Can't Get Away with Nuthin': Often, especially when it comes to Donald - as usual, the fates punish him for every transgression, overblown or otherwise. A good singular example involves Mickey, however - he finds an envelope on the ground and instead of trying to find the owner he buys a bow for Minnie. Immediately after he finds out that the money was from Minnie herself to give to orphans in order to keep them from being kicked out on the street. Ouch. Hijinks ensue as Mickey tries to get the bow back so he can resell it and reclaim the money. | |

April Fools' Plot: "Mickey's April Fools" takes place on April Fool's Day and has Mickey prank Minnie by faking her out after making it look like he was going to propose to her as well as prank Mortimer by tricking him into thinking he run him over. After Mickey hears of an inheritance of one million bucks, his earlier prank on Mortimer backfires when he has to prove that he's not dead. The executor turns out to be Mortimer in disguise, who proceeds to tie Mickey to a pole by his shorts and lies about being Mickey to take his inheritance of one million bucks, which it turns out was a bunch of male deer rather than dollars. The other executor reveals herself to be Minnie in disguise, but she leaves Mickey where he is as payback for pranking her into thinking they'd finally marry. | |

The Worst Seat in the House: In the cartoon short, "How to Be a Baseball Fan", Goofy goes to a baseball game only to find that his seats are in the nosebleed section and he goes through an Overly Long Gag of climbing the stairs and seeing signs that tell him he's still quite a way away from his seat.

Spotlight-Stealing Squad: The Mickey, Donald and Goofy cartoons often boil down to Mickey getting the focus while Donald and Goofy are the sidekicks. "Mickey Foils the Phantom Blot" is a good example as Mickey is really the only one who moves the plot along. This could be seen as a subversion from the Classic Disney Shorts, where the mouse was almost absent in favor of Donald and Goofy's antics. | |

Animation Bump: Certain shorts, such as "Mickey's New Car" and "Roller Coaster Painters," have much more fluid animation than the majority of shorts. A somewhat backward example: seven shorts from the first season were colored traditionally on cels, while the rest of the shorts are colored digitally. "How to Haunt a House" was animated at Walt Disney Feature Animation Florida, and is easily the best animated short of the series. | |

Mickey Mouse Works / int_8510bb62 | comment |
Saved by the Church Bell: In the Mouse Tales version of Around the World in Eighty Days, it seems that Mickey, Minnie and Goofy had failed the challenge and arrived back in England a whole day late. But then they hear church bells outside, and Mickey wonders why they'd be ringing on a Monday... before realizing that, because they crossed the International Date Line, they actually arrived a day earlier than they thought. | |

Mickey Mouse Works / int_872b9e12 | comment |
Chained to a Railway: The subject of one "Mickey to the Rescue" quickie, in which Mickey saves Minnie from being tied down in the path of an oncoming train, driven by Pete. Unfortunately, Mickey is not very good with untying knots, so both Mickey and Minnie wind up tied together. Fortunately, however, Mickey manages to hit a conveniently-placed switch, sending Pete's train down another track. Mickey and Minnie, still tied up, manage to get off the tracks. Then the train comes back in the opposite direction, cutting the ropes and freeing the mice. | |

Bait-and-Switch | |
Mickey Mouse Works / int_8797239c | comment |
Bait-and-Switch: "How to Be a Waiter" is a perfect example of this trope. The cartoon starts out by showing the lowdown of being a waiter, but it becomes too much for Goofy, and so he shoots for a better career as a movie star, which is pretty much what the cartoon remains about. Ironically, the movie Goofy stars in casts him as... a waiter! "How to Wash Dishes" does pretty much the same thing, right up to the Book Ends ending, except replace "waiter" with "dishwasher" and replace "being a movie star" with "Goofy going on vacation". In "Topsy-Turvy Town", it looks like as if the executioner is about to chop Mickey and Minnie's heads off as part of their punishment for breaking the titular town's rules, but then it turns out he was only cutting some lemons for two glasses of ice cold drinks and said "punishment" is a luxurious beach vacation spot. Mickey and Minnie are both perfectly fine with this. | |

Laser-Guided Karma | |

Laser-Guided Karma: Happens to Ludwig von Drake in the short "Future Mania". He has Mickey, Donald, and Goofy hooked up to a machine called the Future Viewer, which is intended to show the three how their lives will be better in the future. His experiment backfires because the improvements in technology actually make their lives worse, with Mickey's vision of the future even ending with Minnie beating him up and breaking up with him. At the end of the short, Mickey and friends get fed up with their torment and hook Ludwig to the machine. Ludwig at first enjoys his experience until his personal duck gynoid becomes clingy and his new car starts to go too fast. | |

Leitmotif: Everybody who had a cartoon starring them had a "title card" song that doubled as a leitmotif. That's Mickey, Donald, Goofy, Mickey/Donald/Goofy as a team, Minnie, Daisy and Pluto. Each motif appeared in most cartoons in which they appeared, even if they were not actually starring in them. Other characters also had motifs as well, such as Mortimer and Huey, Dewey and Louie. The title card motifs eventually carried over into House of Mouse. | |

The two players' names turned out to be Heavens and Betsy, giving Goofy credit for the answer. | |

Recycled Premise | |
Mickey Mouse Works / int_a6fa41b | comment |
Recycled Premise: A good number of shorts fall under the premise of "Mickey, Donald and Goofy are X. Hilarity Ensues", where X is a job such as being painters or car washers or whatnot, complete with almost identical opening scenes. Lampshaded when the jobs get ridiculous ("Organ Donors", anyone?), and subverted when their job goes Off the Rails. Also, there's a fair amount of "How To X" starring Goofy, which were in turn recycled from even earlier Goofy cartoons. The 90-second shorts fall into this, depending on what title it's under. "Mickey's Airplane Kit" is pretty much Plane Crazy but with revamped circumstances and a more solidly-characterized Mickey Mouse. "Donald's Dinner Date" is very much the same plot as the classic Donald Duck cartoon "Cured Duck", where Daisy won't go out with Donald until he gets his temper under control, only to end with Daisy losing her temper. | |

Freudian Excuse: "Mickey and the Color Caper" has the Phantom Blot steal all the colors and turn himself into the Phantom Rainbow because he was apparently forced to wear his black cloak his whole life by his parents. | |

Everything Sounds Sexier in French | |
Mickey Mouse Works / int_c91408cb | comment |
Everything Sounds Sexier in French: Or Portuguese, in the case of "Mickey Tries to Cook". Here, the reason Mickey tries to cook is that Minnie is tired of the ham, tomato and cheese sandwiches with cheese that are all Mickey knows how to make, and he sees her at the grocery store with Jose Carioca who offers her an exotic-sounding dish. At the end of the cartoon, it turns out that Jose also made a ham, tomato and cheese sandwich with cheese, and just told the name in Portuguese. | |

Love Letter Lunacy: Mickey accidentally sends a love note to Mortimer through his new fax machine, making him think he sent the angry note intended for Mortimer to Minnie. He gets into all kinds of shenanigans trying to retrieve the "angry note" before Minnie reads it, only to find out that Minnie's fax was from Daisy, and Roy Disney got the angry note. | |

The Fourth Wall Will Not Protect You: After trying and failing the narrator's lessons on how become "a gentleman", Goofy angrily takes a large club and whacks at both the camera and apparently the narrator. The cartoon ends with the camera's point-of-view lying on its side from the ground, the lens cracked, and the narrator speaking in a woozy voice. | |

Opinion-Changing Dream | |
Mickey Mouse Works / int_e98afc99 | comment |
Opinion-Changing Dream: "Donald's Goofy World" has Donald becoming fed up with Goofy's, well, goofiness and announces that he never wants to see Goofy's face again. He then proceeds to get knocked out by his door (which he'd hired Goofy to fix) and has a hilariously strange dream where everyone and everything has turned into Goofy. He tries to watch TV, he gets nothing but shows about Goofy. He goes outside, all of his neighbors are Goofy. He runs into the forest, all of the animals (plus a flower that he picks) are Goofy. Even Mickey, Pluto, Daisy, and Donald's nephews have turned into Goofy. Eventually, Donald escapes back to his house, only to suddenly turn into Goofy himself. Then he wakes up, realizes that it was all just a dream, and blames Goofy... then finally realizes that maybe he was a little harsh on Goofy and apologizes, saying that at least there's only one of him. | |

Never Say "Die": Averted when Goofy asks a bunch of shadowy gangsters, "Please don't kill us." Played straight, humorously so, in "How to Haunt a House", in which, in order to demonstrate the titular process, Goofy is arranged to be temporarily "not living" so he can become a ghost. In "Mickey's Remedy", Mickey reminds Huey, Dewey and Louie that if they don't change their ways, they'll end up going to "The Bad Place". Similarly, in "Hickory Dickory Mickey", he delivers the alarm clock to "Hades" before spawning back at the bedside table with hints of fire. | |
