Sitting around a campfire in their Halloween costumes are the stop-motion puppets for Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Goofy (his face and body obscured by his white sheet of a ghost costume), Daisy Duck, and Donald Duck. In this scene from Mickey’s Spooky Stories, it’s nighttime and creepy trees are behind the line of characters, who are all sitting on boulders. The fire burns within a circle of smaller stones.

Exclusive Clip & Easter Eggs: Mickey’s Spooky Stories

By the D23 Team

Last Halloween, we all enjoyed the stop-motion shenanigans of Mickey Mouse and his pals in Mickey and Friends Trick or Treats. (Catch up or enjoy your first viewing now on Disney+!) For this haunted season, the creative team behind that madcap special is back with more ghoulish giggles in Mickey’s Spooky Stories.

This all-new collection of five stop-motion shorts features Mickey and the gang sharing Halloween stories around the campfire. These snappy, silly, slightly scary shorts are another collaboration between Disney and Stoopid Buddy Stoodios, and are directed by David H. Brooks (Mickey and Friends Trick or Treats, 2022’s Mickey Saves Christmas).

The shorts premiere on Tuesday, October 1, on Disney Jr., and all five shorts will be available on Disney+ on Wednesday, October 2. But we’ve got an exclusive clip right here to drop into your Halloween treat bag:

When you watch the full shorts on Disney Jr. or Disney+, be sure to pay close attention! The stories are full of Easter eggs. We won’t tell you which episodes to find them in—that would spoil the fun—but we’ll give you some clues about what to look for. The trick is to find them all!

Among the treats are:

  • A one-eyed carved pumpkin that resembles Mike Wazowski from Monsters, Inc. (2001).

In this scene from Mickey’s Spooky Stories, a close-up view of an open spell book shows the words Hocus Pocus at the top of a page. At the bottom of the page are the words Treats to Eat. In between are cartoon-like drawings of treats, a mummy, a trick-or-treat sack, and more. One of the little treat icons is shaped like Mickey’s head.

  • A hidden Mickey among the candy drawings in a spell book.
  • Spooky “faces” in the trees, similar to those in the haunted forest in Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs(1937).

In this scene from Mickey’s Spooky Stories, the stop-motion puppet for Pete stands on a scooter in a pumpkin patch, just in front of a scary-looking tree. In the center of the handlebars for the scooter is a tiny metallic rendition of Mickey Mouse’s head and ears—a hidden Mickey.

  • Another hidden Mickey on Pete’s scooter handles.

In this scene from Mickey’s Spooky Stories, Mickey Mouse stands in his blue monster Halloween costume in what appears to be the library of a mansion. He is on the left of the image, and in the center is the frame of a full-length mirror, facing Mickey. Mickey has his body turned away from the mirror frame, and in the same position on the other side of the mirror frame is a green monster. The two characters are mirror images of one another.

And if you’re an I Love Lucy fan, look for an homage to the famous mirror scene between Lucille Ball and Harpo Marks from that great 1950s sitcom. Your grandparents can help with that one!

A promotional poster for Mickey’s Spooky Stories has the title of the show on the left, with the debut dates listed below: Disney Junior on October first and the next day on Disney Plus. On the right-hand side of the poster is an image of Mickey Mouse and his friends, Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck, Daisy Duck, and Goofy—all in their Halloween costumes—in a pumpkin patch. A witch on a broomstick flies overhead in the distance, along with a lot of bats, and there’s a haunted house on a hill far in the back of the image.
