* ArchivePanic: The original theatrical cartoons combined amount to almost 500 shorts total, and that's not counting post-Golden Age shorts, TV shows and feature animation appearances of the characters.

And also keep in mind that many of the shorts would pass well over the six minute mark--to get an idea of how long it takes to sit through even ''part'' of the Walt era shorts, it would take around six hours and 30 minutes to watch all 50 of the existing, available pre-SteamboatWillie Disney shorts. And lets not even get started on the absolutely monstrous number of comics these characters have appeared in, ''especially'' the DonaldDuck comics.

* {{Funny Aneurysm Moment}}/HarsherInHindsight: Most of the gags in Goofy's "[[http://youtu.be/dMdTBep3W9c Teachers Are People]]" short, since it involves a kid turning in a handgun and grenade, threatening a classmate with a (water) pistol, and ''blowing up the school''.

** ''No Smoking'' becomes this due to Walt Disney's death from lung cancer, especially the gag where a skywriter spells out "Smoke Lookys" (Lucky Strike was Walt's preferred brand).

* BizarroEpisode: Several:
** ''Toby Tortoise Returns'' is an oddball in the Silly Symphonies lineup-wheras most, if not all of those shorts were either sweet, sentimental and naturalistic, this short has much more in common with a Warner Bros. cartoon, complete with full cartoony, fast paced slapstick comedy.
** Ironically, the real [[WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes Warner Bros. cartoons]] being made around the same time were intent on trying to ape the sweeter, sentimental elements of the Silly Symphonies. We won't see a WB cartoon as fast-paced as "Toby Tortoise Returns" until "WesternAnimation/DaffyDuckAndEgghead" and "PorkyInWackyland"
** Mickey Mouse's "Runaway Brain" from the 90's, which was the first ([[KingdomHearts but certainly not]] [[EpicMickey the last]]) attempt at returning Mickey to his adventureous, edgier roots. Whether it succeeded or not is up for debate.
** The later Donald Duck shorts from the '50s and onward show how desperate the writers were to come up with new ideas-one short has Donald become so obsessed with obtaining honey that he dresses up as a bee to steal honey from an [[TooDumbToLive actual hive]], instead of just going to the store and buying some honey in a jar like any sane [[strike: man]] duck would do.
** There's also the Silly Symphonies short "Mother Goose Goes Hollywood", which is yet another pure comedy Disney short, featuring caricatures of Golden Age Hollywood celebreties in the roles of classic fairy tale characters. The opening logo is even a parody of the MGM Lion-except with a goose (albeit one that roars like a lion)!

** Wilfred Jackson disliked the early Mickey Mouse short "The Castaway" and upon it's failure vowed to never make another picture that didn't feel like a Disney film again.
** According to "Of Mice and Magic", some of the DonaldDuck staff grew to dislike the character and how formula driven his shorts became over time. One of the directors, veteran Jack Hannah (no relation to Hanna-Barbera) even complained "I got so damned tired of that duck's voice. I just could not stand having to work with it all the time."
*** It should be noted, however, that Don's most formulaic period came ''precisely'' when Hannah took over as the sole director of the series and apparently made his life goal to fill the duck's filmography with repetitive stories. Really, count how many cartoons that pit Donald against vermin -where he's OutOfFocus and suffers from severe {{Flanderization}}- emerged on this time as opposed to the past. There were some nice exceptions here and there, especially at the beginning of Hannah's tenure, but for the most part the Duck owes much of his personality loss to these pictures.
