At 1:12 into the show, there's an image of a corpse in a block of ice wearing a Mouseketeer's hat. That's a reference to an urban myth that Walt Disney was cryogenically frozen at the point of death to be revived in a movie. The myth sprung from a tabloid story I wrote in Montreal in 1969. And my karma for that bit of mischief has been meeting references to it in the damnedest places ever since... including here.

Thanks for posting this. I thought I'd seen them all, but this one came as a pleasant surprise. At 1:12, there's a visual reference to an old (1969) tabloid story of mine about Disney being cryogenically frozen that seems to have become an urban myth. (To set the record straight: that's not true... so far as I know, that is.)

The doctor's voice sounds so familiar as if I've heard it on another cartoon.
