The decision to house a Mickey Mouse ride in the Chinese Theatre at Hollywood Studios can seem random at first glance. However, the decision becomes a lot more fitting if one re-contextualizes the Chinese Theatre to be a massive mythology gag (both figuratively and literally) to Mickey's Gala Premier, which happens to feature a caricature of the Chinese Theatre at the beginning of the short. Having the theatre be a reference to Mickey's Gala Premier is also completely on-brand with the ride's basis, Mickey Mouse (2013), which regularly features references and nods to the old Mickey Mouse shorts.
