* AdaptationalAlternateEnding: The original "Little Bear Bongo" story does feature a happy ending, but is still more cynical and violent. Notably, Bongo never becomes accepted by the other bears, his beloved rejects him for Lumpjaw, and the happy ending comes from another circus troupe finding him and re-introducing him to civilization. In the movie, the other bears and his beloved accept him.

* {{Foreshadowing}}: Early on in the "Bongo" sequence, Dinah Shore delivers the line, "He didn't even know how to act like a bear!" Later, Bongo doesn't understand why Lulubelle slaps him in the face (it's apparently how a bear says "I love you").

* LoveAtFirstSight: When Bongo's eye catches Lulubelle standing in the water.
* TheLoveSlapOfEpiphany: The Bongo story. There was even a song about it, part of which goes like this:

* InstantlyProvenWrong: At the end of ''Mickey and the Beanstalk'', Mortimer cries over Willie dying, so Edgar tries to reassure him that the story was made up and Willie is just a figment of his imagination. About two seconds later, there's a huge creaking noise as Willie lifts up the roof of the building to if anyone's seen "a teensy-weensy little mouse," causing Edgar to faint in shock.

* OdeToFood: Right before Mickey comes back with the magic beans, Donald and Goofy sing a short song about finally being able to eat now that they've finally gotten some money from selling the cow.

* IllTimedSneeze: In ''Mickey and the Beanstalk,'' Willie unknowingly puts Mickey inside a sandwich, but when he sprinkles pepper on it, Mickey sneezes, exploding the sandwich and revealing his presence to Willie. Later, when Mickey is stealing a key from Willie's pocket, he accidentally falls into Willie's snuffbox and the snuff makes him sneeze, waking Willie. Fortunately, the snuff blows into Willie's face and he also sneezes, which gives Mickey enough time to escape.

* SneezeOfDoom: In ''Bongo'' at one point, Bongo sneezes while on his unicycle, which almost propels him off the edge of a cliff.

* TongueOutInsult: While exploring the forest, Bongo tries catching a fish with his fez. Unfortunately for him, the fish blows a raspberry and leaves.

* NamedByTheAdaptation: The giant, unnamed in the original is called Willie.

* {{Redubbing}}: After the film's release, ''Mickey and the Beanstalk'' was aired on TV in several different versions with new narrators. One aired as part of an episode of ''Walt Disney's Wonderful World of Color'', narrated by Professor Ludwig Von Drake (this received a standalone video release (the first of several, really) in the late 1980s). Another was narrated by Disney legend Sterling Holloway, with a completely different script. In TheSeventies show ''The Mouse Factory'', Creator/ShariLewis and her puppet Lamb Chop did the honors.

* StockSoundEffects: Wolf Howling
** Mickey's sneeze and subsequent "Gesundheit, heh..." are taken from ''Brave Little Tailor''.

* IdiosyncraticCulturalGesture: In the Disney Short "Bongo" the escaped circus bear doesn't really know about wild bear culture. Thus when his crush Lulubelle slaps him, Bongo thinks this is a rejection. It takes him [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_8WlTWnMEsE overhearing the other bears singing]] about how bears show their affection with a slap (it was 1947, so a little of the UnfortunateImplications can be forgiven) to figure it out. Even so, Bongo removes his hat in respect after slapping her.

* SneezeOfDoom:
** In ''Bongo'' at one point, Bongo sneezes while on his unicycle, which almost propels him off the edge of a cliff.
** In ''Mickey and the Beanstalk,'' Willie unknowingly puts Mickey inside a sandwich, but when he sprinkles pepper on it, Mickey sneezes, exploding the sandwich and revealing his presence to Willie.

* ForgotAboutHisPowers: Willie falls helplessly from the beanstalk despite previously showing off that he could shapeshift into any animal and also fly on his own. [[spoiler:However, we never see exactly how he managed to survive the fall, so it's possible he ''did'' remember at the last second.]]

* GentleGiant: Exaggerated with Willie the Giant, who steals Happy Valley's golden harp, and he has the mind of a mischievous playful child in a giant's body.
