Mickey’s Circus

Mickey Mouse hosts the circus and introduces Donald Duck and a trio of sea lions to the eager crowd. Children from all over arrive to watch the spectacle unfold in the arena. Mickey sets the stage for a day of slapstick comedy and aquatic antics.

Donald Duck enters the ring but is overwhelmed by the sea lions, including a mischievous pup. He tumbles as the animals shove and nudge him, creating a chaotic but playful entrance. The audience roars at the unexpected chaos.

The first act features the sea lions and Donald juggling balls that land on their noses. After the stunt finishes, the sea lions beg to be fed, tossing their balls at Donald and pointing to their mouths. The dynamic sets up the recurring motif of feeding versus mischief.

Before Donald can feed the last sea lion, the pup grabs the fish and dashes off. A tug-of-war erupts as the sea lions pull from different sides, each insisting on the prize. The fish becomes the focal point of the ensuing chaos.

The tug-of-war over the fish leads to a broader chaos as the sea lions squabble and knock over props. During the next act, the organ pipe performance falters as the sea lion cannot play correctly. The pup intervenes again, playing Yankee Doodle to the crowd's delight.

The pup's antics distract Donald to the point that he loses his temper and lunges at the pup, only to get stuck inside a drum. The crowd imitates his gesture, turning the mishap into another punchline. The moment showcases the cartoonish slapstick of the routine.

Donald composes himself and drives the sea lions away from the basket of fish, using his pistol to restore some order. The sea lions back off, allowing the feeding moment to resume though tensions remain high. The audience responds with mixed cheers and laughter.

The sea lion demands feeding before performing again. When Donald offers a fish, the sea lion delivers a rapid tune to earn applause, but the fish is fought over once more and the organ pipe is destroyed in the process. The act devolves into another chaotic spectacle.

The pup steals the fish again, triggering a fast chase around the arena. Donald pursues the pup through a cannon, while Mickey attempts to intervene, adding a new layer of mayhem. The chase escalates the entire performance.

Spectators fire the cannon, blasting Mickey and Donald out of the ring. They end up on a tightrope and hanging from a hook in the fish basket, showcasing the precarious balance of the act. The crowd gasps and laughs at the improbable setup.

A spectator cuts Donald's basket loose, sending him tumbling to the floor. He lands on a circus bike and pedals along the rope, shouting at Mickey to clear the way while ringing a bell frantically. The ridiculous balance ride continues as the rope loosens.

Spectators oil the rope, making the bike slip and slide. The bike spins backward, splattering Mickey and sending him over his own pole, bouncing back toward the start. The crowd laughs at the slippery disaster.

A barrel is hurled at Mickey as Donald's bike is bounced away. Donald recovers by driving through thin air, with Mickey tumbling along for the ride. The moment marks a last-ditch escape from the accumulating chaos.

The spectators crank up the voltage, electrocuting both Mickey and Donald and causing the bike and rope to split in half. The pair plummet to the floor, a cartoonish catastrophe that heightens the chaos.

They crash into the seal tank and a fish is hurled by the pup. The sea lions mob Mickey and Donald as they wrestle over the fish in the tank, bringing the circus to a noisy, raucous finish.
