"Roll 'em" is the seventy-eighth episode, the twentieth episode and season 4 finale of Mickey Mouse. It originally aired on Disney Channel on July 14, 2018. In this episode, during the shooting of a medieval film, crew member Mickey and background extra Minnie must retrieve a loose film reel rolling through a Hollywood studio backlot or else risk losing their jobs.
Plot[]
A medieval film is being filmed inside Stage 14, where people are dancing, the King eats chicken, and Minnie fills the Queen's glass with water. The Wolf Arrowmen suddenly come inside the castle, but Mickey interrupts the shooting, causing the director to throw him out. As they try again, Mickey accidentally releases a film reel, which rolls away from the castle.
He and Minnie, who is the only one witnessed, try to catch it through various soundstages up until it gets caught on a lever. They activate the lever, causing it to turn on the giant electrical fan, which blows them away. When they see soldiers riding in a horse-drawn carriage, Mickey gets the idea to use the film reel as a replacement carriage wheel. By the time they managed to get the film back in, the movie was already over and the director heads to the screening room. The two mice decided to leave, knowing that they’ll get worse than getting fired.
Inside the screening room, the director watches the mixed-up films and spits out his coffee in shock.
Outside the movie studio, Mickey and Minnie try to go inside a taxi, but it is suddenly kicked away by the director and it explodes. He yells at them that he caught them on tape and the scared mice start babbling, but they fail to explain. However, it turns out that the director is happy with the way the movie turned out and wants to make them his newest stars. All end happily with Mickey and Minnie sharing a good kiss in Hollywood as the paparazzis take photos of them.
