Mickey's 60th Birthday

Plot

During the taping of a television special celebrating his sixtieth birthday, Mickey Mouse is backstage trying to figure out how to make his final appearance memorable. He discovers an old trunk containing the magical hat from his role as the Sorcerer's Apprentice in Fantasia. A sorcerer who owns the hat, not Yen Sid, warns him not to borrow another's magic when he possesses his own, a concept Mickey fails to grasp. Mickey then goes onstage with a birthday cake delivered by Roger Rabbit, who realizes he has mistakenly placed a stick of dynamite on it instead of a candle.

Roger's attempt to extinguish the dynamite destroys the set, forcing Mickey to use the hat's magic to fix everything. The crowd demands an encore, and when Mickey obliges, he suddenly disappears. Angered by the disobedience and Mickey's lack of understanding, the sorcerer casts a spell to teach him a lesson: anyone Mickey meets will not recognize him as the real Mickey Mouse, and the spell will only lift when he discovers his own unique magic. Mickey is transported to the real world, where Andy Keaton from Family Ties finds him and thinks he is just a very good impersonator.

Andy shows him off to Mallory and Jennifer, but they are not impressed, and even Andy eventually rejects him, leaving Mickey disheartened. He later visits the bar from Cheers but has no money for a drink. He cheers up Rebecca Howe by singing "Happy Birthday" to her, and she is so moved that she takes him out for dinner and a movie.
