"¡Feliz Cumpleaños!" is the forty-fourth episode of Mickey Mouse and the seventh episode of the series' season three. It aired on November 18, 2015.
Synopsis[]
Mickey gets an unpleasant surprise for his birthday.
Plot[]
Goofy sings a Mexican birthday song in Mexico while the Three Caballeros (Panchito, José and Donald) play three guitars, Minnie and Daisy sing and dance, and everyone gathers to listen to the song. Mickey changes into his Mexican traditional costume before he goes outside. Minnie holds up a chocolate cake and everyone sings to Mickey. Suddenly, the wind blows hard and the door opens, revealing the bandit piñatas, and everyone hides under the table. The bandits crash Mickey's party, the bull chases the cowboy and the orphan, the pirate chases the other orphan, and the others throw ribbons and debris as the leader hits the table. Mickey pins Eeyore's tail on the leader's back, but the leader scares him. The others shoot piñata-like bullets at him. Mickey dodges, but the bull, divided into two clones, hits him as the leader covers his eyes, and they trap him in ribbons. The masked piñata tells the leader to splat the cake but he says no. They capture Mickey and splat the cake, which breaks the table as he (apparently) dies. Everyone mourns Mickey's death, but as the bandits leave, Mickey gets up, sees the cake, and is devastated because Minnie worked so hard on it and now it's ruined. Mickey prepares to fight, and the Caballeros play their guitars too fast. Mickey slashes them in half and the leader throws a pie, which explodes into fireworks. Everyone wishes Mickey a happy birthday as the episode cuts to an end.
