A Mickey Movie (Johnsonverse)

A Mickey Movie is a 2018 American animated musical comedy-adventure film produced by DisneyToon Studios. Directed by Chloe Johnson, it was produced in celebration of Mickey Mouse's 90th anniversary. The film follows Mickey and Minnie getting caught up in an adventure while the rest of their friends plan Mickey's birthday party. It uses characters from various animated projects, comics, and other media.
Mickey had previously appeared in several feature-length films as a side character or in cameo appearances. A Mickey Movie was conceived in late 2013 by executive producer Tim Johnson and entered production in January 2014. It premiered at the El Capitan Theatre on November 18, 2018, exactly ninety years after the release of Mickey's first released cartoon, Steamboat Willie (which was shown before this film with a new introduction), and was released in the United States five days later. Critics praised the film for its writing, animation, soundtrack, and voice acting.
== Plot ==
The film opens with a musical number called "Oh, What A Beautiful Day!" as Mickey and Minnie wake up at their respective houses, do their morning routines, and go for walks with their respective pets (Pluto for Mickey and Figaro for Minnie), before meeting up with each other. Mickey asks Minnie if she wants to go to the park, and she accepts.
Donald's morning routine is shown, and he calls Daisy to ask how the surprise is going.
