5In this second double-length episode, Mickey, Donald and Goofy go on a submarine expedition with Professor Ludwig von Drake. When a bored Mickey accidentally ejects von Drake, he and his friends must brave the depths of the sea and its 20,000 leagues to save him and get him back on the sub.

8!!Tropes:
9
10* BrickJoke: The missiles and radar screen, which Goofy mistook for "lights" and a broken clock, are later used to defeat the Kraken.
11* TheCameo:
12** WesternAnimation/{{Pinocchio}} and Geppetto as hitchhikers in the Kraken, only now Pinocchio has an Italian accent. They get left behind.
13--->'''Pinocchio''': ''(annoyed at Mickey and Donald leaving him and Gepetto behind)'' Mamma mia! Why does this keep happening this to us?
14** Also, Mickey and Donald run into Minnie and Daisy as mermaids... except it's a hallucination from oxygen deprivation thanks to Goofy, and they've really found the Kraken.
15* ClamTrap: Professor Von Drake is swallowed by a giant clam and Mickey and Donald try to save him.
16* ExtraLongEpisode: The second of four seven minute episodes in the series so far.
17* GiantSquid: Requisite for an undersea adventure, it even attacks the submarine much like [[Film/TwentyThousandLeaguesUnderTheSea a certain film]].
18* JerkWithAHeartOfJerk: When Mickey cries and blames himself for Ludwig Von Drake's fate, Donald consoles him only to agree that it is his fault.
19* LeftTheBackgroundMusicOn: Goofy is revealed to be playing the OminousPipeOrgan when Mickey mentions the Kraken.
20* OminousPipeOrgan: When Mickey first mentions the Kraken, "Toccata and Fugue in D Minor" plays... and then it turns out that Goofy is playing it on a pipe organ.
21* OverlyLongGag: von Drake's habit of typing out each and every zero and [[BrokenRecord repeating]] what he typed.
22* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: After they rescue Ludwig, the Professor determines after his calculations that there is a chance they could find a Kraken after all. Goofy eagerly wants to see a Kraken, but Mickey and Donald don't want to see the Kraken again because it tried to eat them, so they promptly hop into the giant oyster Ludwig was pried from earlier and shoot themselves back into the sea.
23* ShoutOut: Several to ''Film/TwentyThousandLeaguesUnderTheSea'', including:
24** The submarine itself being called the "Ducktilus". Its design is also a shoutout to the Submarine Voyage attraction at [[Ride/DisneyThemeParks Disneyland]].
25** The wheelhouse window is shaped similarly to the big saloon window from the film's Nautilus.
26** The navigation charts are derived from Harper Goff's original designs.
27** The Kraken has a beak much like the monster from the Creator/KirkDouglas[=/=]Creator/PeterLorre film.
28** Captain Nemo's pipe organ is clearly seen played by Goofy at one point.
29* StandardSnippet: Goofy plays the opening bars to Bach's "Toccata and Fugue" on the submarine's pipe organ.
30* StockSoundEffect: The Giant Squid's screeches are a clipped version of the Franchise/{{Godzilla}} roar.
31* WombLevel: Inside the Giant Squid.
