Of course Mickey's House has to be next!!
Mickey seems to have the same problem as us all, too much stuff, not enough storage space!
Couch is the perfect size for three!
Love the Steamboat Willie ship in a bottle.
K obviously caught my attention to detail..
Char as usual is resting her feet.
And here we have this beautiful Morrell's Walt Disney Calendar represented. This is the true vintage calendar reproduced for this prop. Issued by John Morrell & Co (now owned by Smithfield), these calendars were given out by grocers and butchers around the holidays to advertise the brand.
The calendar is perfectly accurate for February 1942.
2/2/1942 - Groundhog Day - On this day in 1942, Punxsutawney Phil claimed to only see a partial shadow, adding that, “War clouds have blacked out parts of the shadow.” as the country was in the grips of WWII
2/11/1942 - Thomas Edison's Birthday, February 11, 1847
2/12/1942 - Abraham Lincoln's Birthday, February 12, 1809
2/14/1942 - St. Valentine's Day (Wonder if Minnie got anything from Mickey)
2/18/1942 - Ash Wednesday, the start of Lent that year
2/22/1942 - George Washington's Birthday. Technically, he was born on February 11, 1731, according to the then-used Julian calendar. In 1752, however, Britain and all its colonies adopted the Gregorian calendar which moved Washington's Birthday a year and 11 days to February 22, 1732.
2/27/1942 - Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's Birthday, February 27, 1807
Also of note are the days marked with a Fish. These denote the fasting days (every Friday for Catholics of the time). We also have the traditional fast on the first day of Lent, Ash Wednesday represented as well, what you don't see any more that I've ever heard of (I haven't attended Catholic School since 3rd grade though) is the Ember days also represented. The Spring Ember week occurs between the first and second Sundays of Lent and the traditional dates for the Ember days are the Wednesday, Friday and Saturday. This is amazing attention to detail on a prop nobody is probably ever going to look at and representing ember days on it is also telling of its anachronistic place in time of 1942 which is lost on modern society. BRAVO to the imagineer who did their homework on this piece and had it represented thoughtfully in Mickey's kitchen.
Love the Maxwell Mouse Coffee. It's good to the last toon. Not sure if they still advertise Maxwell House, good to the last drop anymore, but it was certainly a jingle of my youth.
Here's where the continuity errors start jumping out...
The Mouse N Glo floor wax. It even mirrors the Mop & Glo floor wax containers. That being said, Mop & Glo came onto the scene in 1970...hmm.
While we never see Mickey's commode, I'm glad to see he's using Toon-D-Bol in Lemon Freshened scent. A play on Ty-D-bol, but continuity is also odd here as it was introduced in 1957.
And lastly, Formula 408-1/2 cleaner. Formula 409 must just not be available in Toon-Town. It could also be a not to this being set prior to Formula 409's creation in 1957. Hmm.... Head Scratcher on that continuity error..
A note foreshadowing what we are about to find out in the barn. Hmmm...
Love that Mickey has a planting room and the Mouse Kosh Overalls are a great play on OshKosh.
Pluto's dog run. Where did the garden go that used to be here?
