You totally forgot "Down the Hatch", which was Mickey's tribute to "Adventures Thru Inner Space", and during the credits, we get to hear Donald quack "Miracles from Molecules"!
The best part about the Rainbow Caverns one is that Mickey says "The map says it's supposed to be right here, but someone but a big thundering mountain on top of 'em!", which references how Big Thunder Mountain replaced Nature's Wonderland and the Rainbow Caverns.
The Rainbow Caverns also appear in the 2017 "Ducktales" reboot season 1, episode 16: "The Golden Lagoon of White Agony Plains!". Although the character Goldie O' Gilt incorrectyl calls them "The Rainbow Caves!", they are very clearly visually styled after Disneyland's "Rainbow Caverns". While on the subjects of extinct Disney attractions and DT2017, in the season 2 episode "Nightmare on Killmotor Hill!", middle triplet Dewey says "If we can dream it, we can DEWEY it.", an obvious nod to the lyrics of the main theme song from the beloved Epcot Center dark ride "Horizons", which was replaced by "Mission: Space" (The full lyrics from the "Horizons" theme were: "If we can dream it, then we can do it...Yes we can!"; The words "If we can dream it, we can do it." were also on the wall of the attractions entryway when you went through the automatic doors in front). Honestly, it's nice that these newer versions of Disney cartoons are throwing these theme park nods into the plot, dialogue and/or background...Regardless if we are fans of the animation style used (as I have seen many who aren't all that in love with the animation direction of either the "Ducktales" 2017 reboot or the 2013 run of "Mickey Mouse" cartoon shorts).
When i saw the TVA on the rocket i thought it was a reference to Loki But then i thought about it for a little bit and I realized They made this episode before Loki Edit: Thanks You For All The Likes and Replies on this Comment!😄
Fun fact:in the short “feed the birds” Mickey says “welcome to this happy place welcome bird land is your land” which references Walt Disney’s opening Disney land speech
one of my favorite easter eggs is in the short "shifting gears" when mickey gets flattened by a surf board and asks "is that you, walt?" it gets me everytime :))
I somehow had a feeling that the house of tomorrow would be an Easter egg. Though, the house of tomorrow is pretty useful, I’d rather prefer today’s technology. Anybody agree?
In the short titled “for whom the Booth tolls” when Mickey is looking for a spare change in his glove box you can see a cassette labeled “the black cauldron” thought that was an interesting little detail
I know that people say that their days are better when you post but honestly your videos got me through a really rough time in my life so honestly thank you. 😁💙
I love your channel!! I’ve literally been watching it for years. My favorite ride mentioned would have to be jungle cruise for sure. Also…what about a video where you talk about the reason some of these rides closed and what replaced it. Like if you want to see a video like this ❤️
Ahh, I have so many memories of these shorts at the beginning of a Disney park day waiting for my parents to get ready - I wish I was back at Disney world!
There’s references to Disney characters in the Mickey Mouse cartoon series on Disney Channel, like Willy the Opera Singing Whale from Make Mine Music, who made a brief appearance in the cartoon O’ Sole Minnie. If you look closely at Willy the Whale, you noticed that he has three uvula in his mouth, a little tribute to his character in Make Mine Music from 1946 when he was voiced by Nelson Eddy in three separate singing voices: tenor, baritone and bass.
Loved this video and I love the Mickey Mouse shorts. Also, I have a question: Have you ever read the Kingdom Keepers book series by Ridley Pearson? I love that series with all my heart.
When Mickey says that "The caverns should be just ahead, but somebody put a Big, Thundering Mountain on top of them, They must be inside!" It's a reference to a reference. A section of the Rainbow Caverns is inside the first lift hill on B.T.M.R.R.
I have home movies from my childhood showing empty seats on the Dumbo ride, and 30 people in line for the Matterhorn. This would have been ~1962. I would sit and watch films from that period forever just for the chance I might see a neighbor.
I know this has nothing to do with the video but yesterday I was at knotts berry farm and there was a guy who climbed up supreme scream with no safety gear or anything but he got down safely.
Extra Easter egg: (this isn’t based on a ride but a movie) In Nature’s Wonderland, Mickey and Minnie sing a song about it. The music playing in the background is the beginning of When You Wish Upon a Star
I’m not sure if this is a Easter egg but there is one Mickey Mouse short where he crashes through a window of Cinderella’s castle while she is trying on the glass slipper if it is then that is one he missed and honestly I thought that was gonna be number 1
