"Croissant de Triomphe" is one of the season 1 shorts (and one of the two Grand Premiere shorts) of the new Mickey Mouse (2013) series created by Paul Rudish for the Disney Channel and Disney.com. It's the third to air on the Disney Channel while it's the first to be put up on Disney.com.
When Minnie Mouse, owner of a small Paris cafe, has no croissants for her customers, Mickey must use his electric scooter to brave the heavy traffic in Paris and bring bread for the cafe.
As the short takes place in France, all dialogue is in French with no subtitles. However, the story is simple enough that anyone can completely understand it.
Tropes:
- The Cameo: Cinderella and Prince Charming. In Magic Kingdom Park's castle no less!
- The Determinator: Mickey will stop at nothing to get Minnie her croissants.
- Gay Paree: The scenery in this short is reminiscent of this trope.
- Sentient Vehicle: Mickey's scooter.
- Shout-Out:
- In addition to one to Cinderella, the sound Mickey makes when he jumps with his scooter is similar to the jumping sound from Speed Racer.
- "Allons-y!"
- Token Human: Cinderella and Prince Charming.
- Visual Pun: The Moulin Rouge appears, but as a literal red windmill (What "Moulin Rouge" translates to).
