Mickey's Trailer is a Mickey Mouse short released 6 May 1938.

Summary[]

Mickey walks out the door of what seems like a small house in a natural setting and says, "Oh boy! What a day!" Then, he pulls a lever and walks inside. The bucolic backdrop folds up revealing the city dump behind it, the house is converted into a trailer and Goofy's car is released from the side. Then, Goofy starts driving through the countryside while Mickey makes dinner-like breakfast of corn on the cob, baked potatoes, watermelon, coffee, and milk. Meanwhile, Donald can't wake up, even when his alarm clock rings and pulls off his blanket. Thanks to a secret control board, Mickey rouses him for a machine-assisted bath, but he sees birds and tries to swat them with the towel. Later, the bath is converted into a dining area.

When Mickey rings the dinner bell, Goofy foolishly leaves the driver's seat, while the car and trailer are still in motion and without stopping. It drives through a closed road. After several mishaps during the meal, eventually having popcorn for breakfast, Goofy notices that no one is in the driver's seat and accidentally and unknowingly unhitches the trailer in his panic to resume driving and goes on his way. The trailer rolls downhill on an epic runaway adventure, nearly crashing into a truck and two trains. It is a wreck on the inside but okay on the outside by the time it's miraculously rehitched to the car. Unaware of the dramatic events, Goofy says in the end, "Well, I brought you down, safe and sound."
