Deep Dive

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Trivia

The title parodies 'Runaway Bride' and was Disney's first Mickey theatrical short in 42 years, buried before 'A Kid in King Arthur's Court.'

Insight

Disney suppressed this hard after release—it was too weird, too horror-coded, too unlike their sanitized Mickey brand of the 90s.
