Midsummer Night's Dream is an animated short originally featured in episode #11 of Mickey Mouse Works. It was later featured in the House of Mouse episode "House of Scrooge". This episode was an adaptation of William Shakespeare's comedy of the same title.

Synopsis[]

Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck, and Daisy Duck compete in Shakespeare's tale of mismatched lovers and a special love potion.

Trivia[]

  • Donald's Greek outfit resembles the one he wore in Donald in Mathmagic Land (thought the toga is more detailed).
  • Goofy as Puck reuses the look of the Goofy pixies from "Dance of the Goofys".
  • While obviously goes without saying, the short makes numerous differences to the original play, either so as to shorten or make it easier and more appropriate to younger audiences:
    • The characters of Hippolyta, Titania, Nick Bottom, Peter Quince, Francis Flute, Tom Snout, Snug, Robin Starveling, and Philostrate are all absent from this version. Because of this, the marriage between Theseus and Hippolyta, the famous scene of the donkey headed Bottom being swooned over by a love afflicted Titania and the finale where everyone watches the horribly performed play of Pyramus and Thisbe is absent.
    • In keeping true to the relationship between Scrooge and Donald, Egeus is Demetrius' uncle. In the original play, Egeus is Hermia's father.
    • Theseus (Ludwig Von Drake), says that Hermia (Minnie) is to be put to death if she is not married. While that is true to the original play, she was also given the option of becoming celibate and joining a nunnery.
    • When Demetrius (Donald) does fall in love with Helena (Daisy), she immediately embraces him. However in the original play, she does not take him right away because she thinks that he and Lysander are mocking her.
    • Puck is depicted as a fairy. While various performances make his appearance vary, more often than not, he is depicted as either a satyr or a púca.
