"Black and White" is the forty-third episode of Mickey Mouse. It originally aired on Disney Channel on October 2, 2015. The episode follows Mickey going to a scary movie with Minnie and struggling with his fear of it until his black shade escapes, forcing him to chase it across town to get it back.
Plot[]
It is opening night for a scary movie called Attack of the Hee Bee Gee Bees. Mickey is looking at the poster in an attempt to conquer his fear, but as soon Minnie comes with two buckets of popcorn, Mickey screams and jumps into Minnie's hands, causing her to drop the buckets.
During the movie, a frightened Mickey hides his head in a popcorn bucket. Suddenly, when a hand pops out of the grave in the film, Mickey jumps in fear and lands on a wall, causing his black shade to splatter. Mickey finds out that he is white as a ghost and tries to put back on his shade, but as soon as he says "scary movie", the shade comes to life and escapes from the theater.
Mickey chases his shade all over town until he corners it in a dark alleyway. He tells it that they can face their fears together, then they shake hands with each other, but after Mickey says “scary movie” again, the shade runs off again while still holding onto Mickey's hand. Passing by the theater, Mickey holds onto the parking meter and stretches his body until the shade gets pulled back and slams into Mickey. The two fight on their way back to the movie while passing by other films. Back in the theater, Mickey rips open the movie screen, with his horrifying appearance scaring the whole audience. He continues fighting his shade until it finally merges back into him. He's happy to have his fear conquered, but then sees that Minnie and everyone else have turned white, and their black shades have escaped from the theater.
