The Wonderful Summer Of Mickey Mouse

I'm taking a break from my stories today. I now realise it's important to take breaks occasionally, and that some days don't rely on stress and stories. That goes for Mickey Mouse too. He has quite a job at Disney, trying to remember all the things he mustn't forget - wandering around theme parks, shooting films, making visits for the Make A Wish Foundation...name all you want, that won't stop him from making The Wonderful Summer Of Mickey Mouse.

Now, Meet The Spartans, a hilariously random film about a Spartan king, was originally going to premiere here, but it was a bit too rude for my Simba profile, so I watched this randomly wild cartoon about a mouse who defies cartoon logic to have fun with his friends. They ruin the annual firework display, and each tell their story, trying to get to the fireworks display via boat, helicopter, car and even Scrooge McDuck's party boat. When they were remaking the fireworks show, I have a few questions to ask: how can you clean food? It'll be poisoned if you eat it! How can your bum suddenly get chopped off when you're doing sawing? If Mickey Mouse were about poo and bottoms, it'll be completely unnatural. Don't worry, Donald's bum gets re-attached soon. Mickey also uses ketchup and mustard to make fireworks, and some of it goes on the crowd's hot dogs - and all over their faces.

I was originally expecting it to have three segments, like the previous Wonderful Winter and Spring anthologies - Mickey would visit the beach with his friends, become a hot dog seller and have a party on board a cruise. Shame it had to turn into a full length story, but still, when Lego Star Wars Summer Vacation premieres on Disney+ in a few weeks, it'll be Finn's time to shine.

Have a spectacular Summer!
