"Black and White" is the forty-third episode of Mickey Mouse. It aired on October 2, 2015.
Synopsis
Mickey Mouse struggles with his fear of scary movies, but concedes to go to one with Minnie Mouse. However, when he gets to the theater and the movie starts, the real battle begins.
Plot
It is opening day for a scary movie called "Attack of the Hee Bee Gee Bees", and Mickey is looking at the poster in an attempt to conquer his fear, but as soon Minnie comes with two buckets of popcorn, Mickey screams and hides his head in a popcorn bucket. When a hand pops out of the grave, Mickey jumps in fear, landing on a wall and his black shade splatters to the wall. Mickey finds out that he is white as a ghost. Mickey chases his black shade all over town and tells him that they can face their fears together, but after Mickey says “scary movie”, his black shade tries to run off again while still holding onto Mickey's hand. Suddenly, Mickey gets an idea: he holds onto one of the bars on the taxi stop and stretches his body until he gets his black color back. Back in the theater, Mickey asks Minnie if she is proud, but then sees that she and everyone else have turned white, and their black shades have escaped from the theater.
