History WesternAnimation / MickeysRival

* ALoadOfBull: The bull that Mortimer goads into fighting and which tries to attack Mickey and Minnie after Mortimer flees the scene.

* NonStandardCharacterDesign: Compared to Mickey and Minnie, who at the time still had white faces and completely black eyes, Mortimer has a flesh colored face (and hands) and eyes with sclera and small pupils.

'''''Mickey's Rival''''' is a 1936 WesternAnimation/MickeyMouse cartoon, directed by Wilfred Jackson.

!Tropes:

* BrutishBulls: The bull who serves as the final antagonist is portrayed as a typical real life vicious and ferocious one who seems to be always enraged for no particularly reasons.

* ButtMonkey: Mickey in this short he's more down on his luck than other times. He repeatedly falls victim of Mortimer's pranks and actions which Minnie doesn't even seem to notice or care.

* ElectricJoyBuzzer: A variation. After Mortimer pulls off his pants buttons, Mickey tries to return the favor, but Mortimer was CrazyPrepared and had his buttons hooked up to batteries in his pockets, so Mickey gets a shock instead.
* FakeArmDisarm: Mortimer shakes hands with Mickey using a fake hand. What's more, the hand is spring loaded to hit Mickey in the nose.

* {{Jerkass}}: Mortimer is a pretentious creep who torments Mickey with obnoxious practical jokes, puts the moves on Minnie, who is currently Mickey's girlfriend, and drives off to save his own skin after accidentally setting an angry bull upon Minnie. His sentient sport car is also this towards Mickey's old-fashioned one by scaring it with its loud horn.
* KarmaHoudini: Mortimer after playing stupid jokes on poor Mickey and leaving Minnie in danger after the bull's escape from the pen he gets away safe and sound without an appropriate comeuppance. The only consolation is that Minnie's definitely lost all her admiration she had for him.

* LightningBruiser: The bull is very fast and rapid despite his large size.

* AxCrazy: The bull is always seen angry, berserker and unstoppable.

'''Minnie:''' Hmph! You're just jealous.

'''Mickey:''' [[SarcasmMode Huh, a perfect scream.]] BAH! ''(storms off)''\\

* SentientVehicle: Both Mickey's jalopy and Mortimer's snazzy roadster.

* BullSeeingRed: Mortimer uses the red picnic blanket to goad the bull into fighting. Later, Mickey's jalopy tries to distract the bull by flashing its red taillights at the bull and going after it instead of Mickey and Minnie.
