** Jafar also gets a chance to save it. When Daisy [[How Do I Shot Web|fails epically at magic]] and makes it disappear, Jafar shows up (he was late, which is why Daisy tried to do magic in the first place to replace his act) and sings a cover of [[Cinderella (Disney)|Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo]].

* [[Sesquipedalian Loquaciousness]]: Mickey uses this in order to appear more sophisticated.

* [[Shout Out]]: To many of Disney's animated films, obviously.

Line 240:

* [[Slapstick Knows No Gender]]: with Minnie - though she doesn't tend to in Mickey's shorts she runs into a fair amount of slapstick in her own cartoons.

* [[Spotlight-Stealing Squad]]: Mickey, Donald and Goofy cartoons often boil down to Mickey getting the focus while Donald and Goofy are the sidekicks.

* [[The Tape Knew You Would Say That]]: Mickey tries to call Minnie, but the recording says that all the lines are busy. Mickey gets upset, but the recording not only tells him to not yell, but to not smash the phone.
