Furry Confusion | |
The Worm Turns / int_27a40541 | comment |
Furry Confusion: Mickey has a real mouse in his house, which he uses his Courage Builder on when it's threatened by a cat. In a similar way, there's Pete, an anthropomorphic cat, and a non-anthropomorphic cat, the same cat as the one who have been chased by the mouse and Pluto. | |

All Webbed Up: Mickey's first test subject for the Courage Builder is a fly trapped in a spider's web. The fly manages to not only escape, but pummel the spider and trap him in his own web. | |

Human Hammer-Throw: The mouse dispatches the cat by grabbing him by the tail, swinging him around, and throwing him out the window. Pluto disposes of Pete in a similar manner by biting him in the rear and swinging him around with his teeth before throwing him into the back of his own truck. | |

The Hunter Becomes the Hunted: The Courage Builder allows any creature it's used on to become brave and fearsome, allowing flies to turn on spiders, mice to beat up cats, cats to terrorize dogs, and dogs to viciously attack dogcatchers. | |

Villainous Breakdown: When Pluto resists Pete trying to capture, Pete winds up accidentally opening the door of his dog catcher's truck and releasing all the dogs imprisoned in it, after which Pete resorts to taking a shotgun and simply trying to shoot Pluto with it, all while yelling death threats at the dog! | |

Diabolical Dogcatcher: Pete takes the role of a cackling, evil dogcatcher roaming around to kidnap people's pets, stuff them in his wagon and take them to the pound. When Pluto tries to escape, he even pulls out a shotgun while chasing him, intending to flat-out murder the dog while yelling death threats at him. | |

The Worm Turns / int_f1a15f4b | comment |
Cats Have Nine Lives: When Pluto corners the cat and closes in for the kill, the cat's nine lives emerge from its body, in the form of cat ghosts, each adorned with the numbers 1 through 9 on it. Mickey sprays the formula on the cat just as the last life is coming out, and all the other eight jump back in as the cat gets a boost of courage and goes on the offensive against Pluto. | |
