"Split Decisions" is the nineteenth season 3 short of the new Mickey Mouse (2013) series created by Paul Rudish for the Disney Channel and Disney.com. It's the 56th to air on the Disney Channel and put up on Disney.com.
Mickey is forced to wrangle two very different Donalds after Professor Von Drake's latest invention splits him in half. This is a double-length cartoon.
Tropes:
- Angrish: When Donald's anger is all extracted he's entirely understandable, meanwhile all Anger-Donald can do is growl.
- Ash Face: Happens to Von Drake when Mickey and Donald burst into his lab while he's mixing chemicals and they explode in his face.
- Aside Comment: Ludwig's reaction to things being Not Quite Back to Normal, remarking that it's close enough.
- Batman Gambit: Mickey gets Nice-Donald to talk about how much he loves Daisy. Anger-Donald is actually sorta half and half on her, but Mickey gets him properly motivated by saying Nice-Donald sure loves her and wants to marry her. As expected, Anger-Donald attacks Nice-Donald, allowing Mickey to push them both back to Ludwig's lab.
- Big "NO!": Mickey when both Donalds cause a massive street brawl.
- Does This Remind You of Anything?: Nice-Donald's behavior and mannerisms are reminiscent of being drunk/stoned.
- Embarrassing Tattoo: The Nice-Donald accidentally rips off a diner's clothes and reveals the classic "*heart* Mom" tattoo on his arm.
- "Eureka!" Moment: A hallucination of Daisy appears, but only to yell at Mickey for causing this whole mess. After she goes poof, though, Mickey gets the idea to exploit both Donalds' attraction to her.
- Extra-Long Episode: The fourth seven minute episode in the series.
- Glass-Shattering Sound: The Anger-Donald lets out a roar that shatters a row of windows.
- Hair-Trigger Temper: Why Donald was brought to Von Drake in the first place. His temper has gone out of control. His anger is subsequently given its own Hulk-form.
- Hidden Heart of Gold: When Mickey asks Anger-Donald that he loves Daisy, he responds with a 'so-so' hand gesture.
- Literal Metaphor: Mickey states that Donald always blows his stack at the drop of a hat. When Donald denies this, Mickey proves his point by dropping a fedora, which then causes Donald to get into an outburst.
- Literal Split Personality: Von Drake's machine removes Donald's anger, making him laid back and friendly. Meanwhile, the anger consolidates itself into a second Donald full of uncontrollable rage.
- My God, What Have I Done?: Mickey over the ensuing street brawl.
- Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Mickey's attempt to make things better leads to two Donalds (one of which goes on a violent rampage). The various antics end up causing random citizens to get into fights of their own.Hallucination-Daisy: WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO MY DONALD?!
Mickey: [whimpering] I was trying to make things better.
Hallucination-Daisy: Well, this isn't better! - Not Quite Back to Normal: In the end, the two Donalds are brought back into the original one, only he now has Anger-Donald's face for a butt. Von Drake shrugs and says "Close enough".
- Of Corsets Funny: The guy who gets his clothes ripped off by Nice-Donald is wearing a girdle.
- Oh, Crap!: The guy in the sports car after Anger-Donald picks it up.
- Red Eyes, Take Warning: The Anger-Donald has red demonic eyes.

- Shout-Out: At one point, the Nice-Donald starts singing the theme to The Mickey Mouse Club.
- Shrug Take: Von Drake at the end when he notices Donald is Not Quite Back to Normal.
- Threat Backfire: According to Mickey, Daisy has threatened to dump Donald for real if he flips out one more time. While Daisy doesn't appear in-person, Donald makes it clear he reacted this way. He openly considers it a bluff on the grounds that Daisy always makes this threat and hasn't followed through yet.
- Wing Ding Eyes: Nice-Donald gets hearts in his eyes when thinking about Daisy.
