Clock Cleaners

Mickey is outside cleaning the clock face by riding on the second hand. He demonstrates resourcefulness as he tries to move a sleeping stork that blocks progress. He remains upbeat and quick-thinking, repeatedly getting into and out of peril as he and his friends tackle the clockwork chaos.

Donald grapples with the mainspring, singing 'Hickory Dickory Dock' while mopping. He misjudges the spring's tension, causing it to snap back and trap him in a gear. His temper flares when things go wrong, leading to a sequence of slapstick injuries and chaotic motion.

Goofy cleans the outside bell, singing 'Asleep in the Deep' as the clock strikes. He is jolted by the statues' vibrations and tumbles through the clock's interior, a beacon of clumsy optimism. His misadventures drive much of the physical humor as he and the others struggle their way through the tower.

The sleeping stork blocks Mickey's progress inside the tower, stubbornly resisting attempts to move it. It flies in and out, snatching Mickey and then retreating, creating a recurring obstacle. Its presence adds a gentle, comic randomness to the routine.

Spring is the clock's mainspring, presented as a voice within the mechanism. It echoes Donald's words when the tension spikes, driving the comedic tension and reacting to the characters' actions. The spring animates the clock's movement and helps propel the trio's misadventures.
