History Ride / MickeysPhilharmagic

* ForeignReScore: For some reason, the "Just Can't Wait to be King" segment will notably sound different in certain parts depending on where you are watching the film (aside from obvious language differences):

** Zazu, as usual, is not excluded from being this, either.

A collaboration between Imagineering and the [[Franchise/DisneyAnimatedCanon Walt Disney Animation Studios]] (and later Pixar), the attraction is notable as one of the early experiments in rendering Mickey and other classic characters as CGI characters in the midst of the ExecutiveMeddling going on at the studio, when the plan to drop hand-drawn animation altogether was being discussed. The attraction also features Clarence Nash reprising his role as Donald Duck posthumously through the extensive use of stock audio.

* ButtMonkey: Donald is subjected to all sorts of embarrassing events throughout the show, from being shocked by an electric eel to flying through someone's laundry.

* AspectRatioSwitch: After Donald dons the hat, [[spoiler:the stage ornamentation lifts up before "Be Our Guest" begins. The side walls then become screens. At the end of the show, the aspect ratio retracts and the ornamentation falls back into place]].

* PetTheDog: Despite Donald being TheChewToy of the short, the other characters he meets are quite nice to him: Ariel flirts with him, Peter Pan saves him from falling, and Jasmine returns the magic hat which prompts a sincere "Thank you!" from Donald.

A SpiritualSuccessor to Magic Kingdom and Tokyo's ''The Mickey Mouse Revue'', ''Mickey's [=PhilmarMagic=]'' is set inside the Fantasyland Concert Hall, where WesternAnimation/MickeyMouse is conducting his [=PhilarMagic=] Orchestra with the help of the Sorcerer's Hat. While Mickey goes off to attend to last-minute details, WesternAnimation/DonaldDuck decides to use the hat to try conducting himself, only to be sucked into various musical numbers from ''WesternAnimation/BeautyAndTheBeast'', ''WesternAnimation/{{Fantasia}}'', ''WesternAnimation/{{The Little Mermaid|1989}}'', ''WesternAnimation/{{The Lion King|1994}}'', ''WesternAnimation/PeterPan'', and ''WesternAnimation/{{Aladdin}}'' -- ultimately having to be bailed out by Mickey. In 2021, it was announced that an updated version would come to the parks, including a new scene involving the cast of Pixar's ''WesternAnimation/{{Coco}}''.

* DisneyAcidSequence: "I Just Can't Wait To Be King" becomes even more abstract than [[WesternAnimation/TheLionKing1994 the original film]]'s take.

* InterspeciesRomance: Donald, who's a duck, becomes smitten with [[WesternAnimation/TheLittleMermaid Ariel]], who's a mermaid.

* TheRuntAtTheEnd: The Sorcerer's Apprentice brooms are accompanied by a baby one in this film. Donald tries to douse it with a bucket of water, whereupon the MamaBear turns up.

''Mickey's [=PhilharMagic=]'' is a 3D Movie attraction created for the Ride/DisneyThemeParks that debuted in 2003 at the Magic Kingdom park, 2005 at Hong Kong Disneyland and 2011 at Tokyo Disneyland. It premiered in autumn 2018 at Disneyland Paris as part of the Mickey 90th Anniversary celebrations, and later premiered in April 2019 at Disney California Adventure replacing ''Ride/MuppetVision3D'' (which had previously been repurposed as a center for Disney film previews in 4-D, as well as for a ''Frozen'' singalong; in truth, ''[=PhilharMagic=]'' was originally intended to replace the Muppets in 2010, before Disney realized the screen was too small to present it in the intended aspect ratio, which they eventually got around by projecting the outer bands on the theater walls; the DCA version originally had a static Donald figure at the very end instead of one that kicks its legs and falls into the hole since they apparently never removed the Swedish Chef animatronic. Around September 2019, a moving animatronic was added).

* MythologyGag: Although not present in the final product, the scene in the [[https://youtu.be/Mn54rXgsh-Y storyboard]] for the "Un Poco Loco" segment where Donald starts to dance with Miguel and Héctor features [[https://twitter.com/caballero_ducky/status/1416411996820582400 poses directly lifted from]] ''WesternAnimation/{{The Three Caballeros}}''.

%%* ButtMonkey: Donald, naturally.

* CallingARabbitASmeerp: No, they're not 3D glasses, they're [[InsistentTerminology opera glasses!]]

** During "Part of Your World," after Ariel shows off her gems and they fall below screen, they can be seen on Donald's back as he floats back up on camera (after most likely having picked them up), where he promptly drops them when seeing Ariel again.
** At the end of the attraction, if you turn around you'll be able to see a real life animatronic of Donald crashed through the roof behind the seats.

* NoFourthWall: At the end of the film, [[spoiler: Donald Duck is shot out of the screen and collides into the back wall of the theater]]!

* SecondaryCharacterTitle: Yes, Mickey appears, but this is really Donald's show (reflected in the exit gift shop primarily featuring Donald merchandise).

* SourceMusic: The song "Un Poco Loco" starts out as background music while Miguel and Héctor are in the cable car, but when the camera switches to the town, it is revealed that the music is ''literally being played by a mariachi band that follows the two around.'' Finally, if you look closely at the musicians (save for the brass players), they are the ones who sing the background chorus ("He's just un poco crazy, leaves my cabeza shaking"). ''Very'' [[JustifiedTrope Justified]], since ''WesternAnimation/{{Coco}}'' is the sole diegetic musical out of Pixar's (and by extension, Disney's) animated movies, and the song "Un Poco Loco" is an in-universe song [[spoiler:written by Héctor for his wife, Imelda]] ([[WordOfGod according to Lee Unkrich]]).
* SpiritualSuccessor: The show is a successor to ''The Mickey Mouse Revue'', in that they're both theater shows featuring Mickey Mouse as an orchestra conductor and other characters from various Disney animated classics performing medleys of their songs.
* StealthPun: The "A Whole New World" scene used to have the scent of Jasmine's perfume pumped into the theater. Naturally, her perfume was jasmine scented. Unfortunately, it had to be taken out because too many people were allergic, and so the scene is now odorless.

** Overall, all of the songs used in the film primarily use the original vocal tracks from their respective movies. Jerry Orbach ("Bonjour", "Enough, I'm done!"), Jodi Benson (the lines from Part of Your World (Reprise)), and Blayne Weaver ("Here we go!") are the only three actors to record new voice clips for their characters.

*** Interestingly, the segment for "Just Can't Wait To Be King" is almost entirely made up of [[https://youtu.be/0nyHtDELmDs unused voice clips]] from Jason Weaver (Simba) and Rowan Atkinson (Zazu), which explains some subtle vocal inconsistencies when compared to the version present in [[WesternAnimation/TheLionKing1994 the final movie]] and [[https://youtu.be/INugjPMaOWs its soundtrack]].
