Mouse Takes a Trip is a 1940 American animated short film produced by Walt Disney Productions and released by RKO Radio Pictures.

The film was directed by Clyde Geronimi and features original music by Leigh Harline and Oliver Wallace.

[3] The voice cast includes Walt Disney as Mickey, Lee Millar as Pluto, and Billy Bletcher as Pete.

[4] The fame of the short has since grown some historical significance, as Walt Disney himself was filmed recording his lines as Mickey Mouse for it, making it one of the only times he was shown doing his voice on camera.

Leaving for vacation, Mickey Mouse and Pluto arrive at a train station in Burbank, California (home of Walt Disney Productions).

They board a westbound train to Pomona, but are both immediately kicked off by the conductor Pete, who states that dogs aren't allowed.

At this point, Mickey decides to smuggle Pluto on board by squeezing him inside the suitcase and they manage to make it aboard the caboose just as the train is leaving the platform.

Suspecting that Pluto has been stowed in the suitcase, Pete makes up a story about owning a little cat who'd cry when he was all alone and screams a loud "MEOW!"

Mickey and Pluto have lots of conductor trouble before they arrive at their destination, happily being thrown off the train just as it passes through Pomona".

This five-page version is a closer retelling of the film, with the added detail that Mickey is heading to an "important meeting" in Pomona, which he can't be late for.

The story, published in the May edition of Extralarge XL Disney, is 25 pages and written and illustrated by Enrico Faccini.
