!!"Plane Crazy" provides examples of:

* CanonDiscontinuity: Downplayed. While Disney is perfectly willing to acknowledge the existence of ''Plane Crazy'', they prefer to view ''Steamboat Willie'' as Mickey's debut cartoon, even though ''Plane Crazy'' was produced a few months prior. To be fair, while ''Plane Crazy'' is the first Mickey Mouse short to be produced, ''Steamboat Willie'' is the first to be distributed and to premiere to the public (''Plane Crazy'' would not be released until 1929).

* LawyerFriendlyCameo: Hey, Mickey almost crashed his plane into WesternAnimation/FelixTheCat! [[note]]Or is that Julius, Disney's conspicuous Felix look-a-like used in his earliest cartoons and in some early comics?[[/note]]

* RunningGag: The "Mickey grabbing a cow's udder and getting milk squirted in his face" gag would be recycled for several other black & white shorts.

* AllMenArePerverts: Mickey at one point tries several times to get a kiss from Minnie and eventually resorts to smooching her after scaring her by deliberately letting her fall out of the plane and then catching her. Later, he laughs at Minnie using her panties as a parachute. Minnie [[ArmorPiercingSlap responds]][[ScrewThisImOuttaHere appropriately]].

The debut short of WesternAnimation/MickeyMouse, this originally silent cartoon from 1928, while nowhere near as important or revolutionary as "WesternAnimation/SteamboatWillie" (Creator/UbIwerks himself said the short wasn't much different than what was being done at the time) is important in that it is not only his debut, but also a prime example of Mickey's original characterization -- here, he's a very self-confident, adventurous but overambitious mischief maker who attempts to fly a plane, inspired by Lindbergh (although Mickey himself, as stated above, is based on Douglas Fairbanks). In the meantime, Minnie Mouse joins for a ride as Mickey loses control of his homemade plane. HilarityEnsues.

The short was made not long after Walt lost the rights to WesternAnimation/OswaldTheLuckyRabbit, drawn and animated entirely by Ub Iwerks in two weeks notice. The short was not particularly popular upon debut, but when ''Steamboat Willie'' came around and gave the then declining animation industry (cartoons were falling out of popularity at that point) the kick in the pants it needed via sound, this cartoon was promptly rereleased with sound dubbed over it.

* CanonDiscontinuity: Played with in that, while Disney does acknowledge the existence of ''Plane Crazy'', most official sources say that WesternAnimation/MickeyMouse instead debuted in the more popular and more influential ''WesternAnimation/SteamboatWillie''.
