Show: Mickey Mouse (2013)
Episode: 47
Year: 2016

Writer: Darrick Bachman, Clay Morrow, Paul Rudish, Dave Tennant, and Dave Wasson
Director: Clay Morrow

In every great show, there has to be a dud, or at least a weak episode. And No from 2013 Mickey Mouse is one of them.

The problem with this episode is very clear, it has tons of character derailment just to put Mickey Mouse into the pain and trouble he has go through in the entire episode, and I'm not joking that it's all because that Mickey can't say no. In an episode where the characters are put to painful situations, it's pretty clear that he has to get rewarded if it's sympathizing or punished if it's deserving for his past actions, and guess what? While it did right the former, it was done because of character derailment and forced plot execution, which in theory, is actually not a smart thing to do.

The episode starts with Mickey Mouse about to enjoy his movie time, until everything he owns is taken away by his friends/enemies without difficulty because, as I said, Mickey can't say no. To fix the problem, Mickey asks Donald for help to say no, which works. But it ended up putting Mickey to worse situations when he should be saying yes, and ends with him chased by the police. In the end, his kindness from earlier episode are rewarded. Okay, that has got to be the most redeeming part of the episode, but it ignores the fact that Mickey is still wanted by the cops, unless Scrooge paid the cops to pay Mickey's crime.

You see, the reason why Mickey is put into poop like this is character derailment, something you WANNA avoid in making a story. However, if I'm honest here, I say this episode is what "One Coarse Meal" from Spongebob Squarepants should've been, and that's really saying something from a bad episode. In other words, if you want to make someone put into a bad situation, make sure that the cause is from something smart. Also, Flipperboobootosis, while bad in a degree, at least treats medical ailments as medical ailments.
