Two little pigs cry wolf on their brother and then an actual wolf comes.

Mickey’s Good Deed

Thu, 12 Mar 2026 18:19:26 +0000

Mickey is playing Christmas carols on a standup bass for change. Alas, all he gets is screws, rocks, and other useless stuff. He plays outside a rich man’s window, and the spoiled brat kid inside decides he wants Pluto. Mickey isn’t selling, but when his bass gets destroyed by a passing sleigh and he sees a house full of orphans with no presents, he changes his mind. Mickey plays Santa to the kids. Meanwhile, the brat has been torturing Pluto; his father finally has enough and throws Pluto out and spanks the child. Pluto and Mickey are reunited, and as a bonus, the kid has tied the Christmas turkey to Pluto’s tail.

The Mad Dog

Thu, 12 Mar 2026 18:19:24 +0000

It’s bath day for Pluto; we open with him already being scrubbed. He gets out, and his tug of war with Mickey and the towel lands Mickey in the tub. The soap jumps out, and Pluto swallows it, hic-cupping soap bubbles as Mickey chases him. Pluto gets out, and the people on the street think Pluto is rabid and start hiding and throwing things at him. Dogcatcher Pete comes along, and prepares to shoot Pluto. Mickey catches up to him just in time. He tries pleading, then fighting, but they get away when Mickey throws a kitten into Pete’s pants. In the ensuing chase, a fruit cart provides more diversions, and ultimately they manage to crash Pete into his own truck.

The Duck Hunt

Thu, 12 Mar 2026 18:19:23 +0000

Mickey and Pluto go duck hunting, stopping to jam to “Columbia, Gem of the Ocean.” The ducks get their own back, carrying the hunters through the air and dropping them on a clothesline.

Traffic Troubles

Thu, 12 Mar 2026 18:19:20 +0000

Mickey is driving a taxi. His first fare is a very large gentleman. Mickey stops traffic and gets a tongue-lashing from the officer. The cab runs into some bad road, bounces the fare down to almost nothing, then bounces the customer right out of the cab. Mickey pulls up to the curb and picks up his second passenger, Minnie. She plays her accordion while they ride. The cab gets a flat tire, and Mickey uses a pig to pump it up.

The Moose Hunt

Thu, 12 Mar 2026 18:19:18 +0000

Mickey’s hunting, along with a characteristically playful and distracted (and uncharacteristically talkative) Pluto. Pluto fetches a forked branch, and Mickey shoots, mistaking it for antlers, but Pluto is OK. Then they find a moose, and Mickey’s gun fails but they escape when Pluto does an impression of Dumbo, with Mickey riding.

Mickey’s Orphans

Thu, 12 Mar 2026 18:19:17 +0000

At Christmas time, Mickey Mouse, Minnie and Pluto are beset by an enormous litter of bratty orphan cats.

The Beach Party

Thu, 12 Mar 2026 18:19:12 +0000

A fun day at the beach. While Mickey, Horace, and Clarabelle go swimming, or try to, Minnie lays out a picnic. Pluto discovers why you shouldn’t chase a crab. Everyone digs in to lunch. Mickey throws Pluto a string of sausages; he dives after them, and comes up with an angry octopus instead, who crashes into the picnic. Everyone fights the octopus, and Mickey finally manages to send it out to sea by throwing an anchor like a lasso.

The Barnyard Broadcast

Thu, 12 Mar 2026 18:19:11 +0000

Mickey runs radio station ICU from his barn. His friends play various musical numbers. A cat wanders in and starts yowling (which sets Pluto, who was listing from his doghouse, off). Mickey puts it out, but it, and several kittens, keep coming back in, playing with the equipment, running through the musicians (chased by a broom-wielding Mickey, who does a great deal of damage himself), and generally making a mess of things.

The Shindig

Thu, 12 Mar 2026 18:19:09 +0000

Another barn dance. Minnie plays piano; Mickey plays fiddle, then percussion, then harmonica. Mickey dances with the huge Patricia Pig.
