In the cartoon, Mickey is hooked on a '' Mortal Kombat -''style video game based on '' Snow White And The Seven Dwarfs '' when Minnie comes home to find that Mickey forgot their dating anniversary. Mickey comes up with a last-minute idea to take her to a Miniature Golf course. Showing her a Newspaper , Minnie misinterprets and thinks Mickey is taking her to Hawaii . When he notices that going on the trip would cost $999.99, he soon worries about getting money so Pluto shows his master the "help wanted" ads. He sees an ad for work with a Dr. Frankenollie (an Inside Joke at Disney animators Frank Thomas and Ollie Johnston ) for a day of "mindless work" that would instantly give him $999.99. He goes to the home of this monkey-like creature, whistling the theme from '' Steamboat Willie ''. When he rings the doorbell, Mickey gets sucked downward to his laboratory where we see Dr. Frankenollie for the first (and last) time played by Kelsey Grammer of '' Frasier '' fame. Frankenollie plans to make Mickey switch brains with his monster, Julius (portrayed by perennial nemesis Black Pete ) and Julius gets a crush on Minnie when he sees a picture of her in Mickey's wallet, chasing after her while she was looking for a Bathing Suit . During the battle between Julius and Mickey, electrical wires make their brains switch back for the final battle. In the end, they go to Hawaii with Julius as their boat looking at the photo. The credits play once again with the ''Steamboat Willie'' music playing in the background. It was originally released as a pre-movie cartoon for '' A Kid In King Arthur's Court '' in the United States. Abroad, it was released as a pre-movie cartoon for '' A Goofy Movie '' (which Mickey also makes a cameo appearance in). In recent years, Disney tried to hide this short due to showing an "evil Mickey" (who's only in the cartoon for about two-and-a-half minutes) and the widely-held allegation that Minnie in one scene sounded like she was saying "God damn it, Mickey!" (she really says "''Go get him'', Mickey!"), but it was finally released on DVD as part of the Walt Disney Treasures line (albeit with a slight audio sync problem). Notably, Dr. Frankenollie is killed in the course of his experiment - perhaps the only instance of Death in a Mickey Mouse cartoon. EXTERNAL LINK |
