Plausible Impossible

In Disney films, there are many examples of the plausible impossible, where something impossible seems possible in a given situation. Here are some examples of plausible impossible from a version of Alice in Wonderland with Mickey Mouse.

1. Walking through a mirror

In this scene, Mickey walking through a mirror seems plausible because of how the mirror stretches to let him in. If he just walked through the mirror and the mirror didn't react, it would seem like Mickey was a ghost, and he just phased through the mirror.

2. Living objects

Disney makes it seem possible that inanimate objects could be alive by giving them human-like features. The phone has arms, and the mic became its mouth.

3. Mickey being shuffled into a deck of cards

It would be impossible to shuffle an object with form into a deck of cards, but Mickey fits in because of how they show him being shuffled into the cards. They treat him like he's another card, which helps him fit in.

4. Mickey dancing with a card

Mickey can dance with a card because hey had the arms and legs come out of the card. It wouldn't make much sense if Mickey was dancing with a card that had no arms or legs. This is similar to the one with the phone having human-like features.

5. Mickey shooting ink out of a pen

Ink typically can't be shot out of a pen like this, but having Mickey hold the pen like a gun makes this seem possible, and the viewer even expects Mickey to use the pen as a weapon.
