Mickey's Circus is an animated short film produced by Walt Disney Productions and released August 1, 1936.

Known crew include director Ben Sharpsteen and animators Milt Kahl, Frank Thomas, Al Eugster, Shamus Culhane, and Errol Gray.

When the stunt is finished, the sea lions beg to be fed, throwing their balls at Donald and pointing to their mouths.

When a spectator cuts Donald's basket loose, he falls, lands on a circus bike and shouts at Mickey to move out the way while ringing the bell frantically and cycling across the rope.

He said, in the stenographer's abbreviated version: "Only way to work those seals is as whole bunch of comics — they applaud themselves... [No tricky way that] they juggle balls is important unless it is part of some business you are building".

There are tongue-in-cheek echoes of the bitter labor disputes of the thirties, too: at one point, Donald addresses the seals as "You radicals!

"[3]Although no animators were credited, it was reported that Milt Kahl, Woolie Reitherman, Bernard Wolf, Frank Thomas, Fred Spencer, James Culhane, Frank Kelling, Don Patterson, Cy Young, Larry Clemmons, Jack Hannah, Chuck Couch, Dick Williams, Al Eugster, Eddie Strickland, Jim Algar, Marvin Woodward, John McManus and Milt Schaffer have worked on this short.
