Synopsis

Thru the Mirror (1936) — watch online on iFILM: a nine-minute Walt Disney animated short directed by David Hand, drawing on Lewis Carroll's Through the Looking-Glass. One of the most inventive entries from Disney's golden age of hand-drawn comedy.

Mickey falls asleep with a book and wakes up on the other side of his bedroom mirror. The furniture has a life of its own, a walnut shrinks him down to pocket size, and a deck of cards becomes his dance partners. A run-in with the Queen of Hearts keeps things unpredictable. Pure physical comedy and jazz rhythm packed into under ten minutes — a textbook example of why 1930s Disney shorts still hold up. Watch Thru the Mirror (1936) online on iFILM.
