Funny / Mickey Mouse

• Mickey's Birthday Party has some of the wildest animation of Mickey (originally done by Ward Kimball for The Reluctant Dragon, but unused in favor of the Goofy short How to Ride a Horse, revised by Riley Thompson), his crazy surreal dance while Minnie plays the electric organ. It must be seen to be believed. At points, Mickey mimes playing the trombone and the banjo, puts his hat all over his body and ends up doing a duet with his hat and cane.
• Symphony Hour proves to be the only short where Mickey can behave like his modern self and yet still have traces of his old "scrapper" personality. Case in point, Goofy accidentally flattens the instruments for the orchestra causing their dramatic playing of Franz Von Suppé's Light Cavalry to turn into something out of Spike Jones. Towards the end Mickey hold Donald at gunpoint, threatening to return to his position in the percussion session.
