Have a Laugh! changes

The following scenes were deleted from the short release due to time constraints:

• Goofy, after raising the curtain, setting up the lighting for the stage and saying, "On with the show."
• Donald blowing bubbles in his soda as a razz at Mickey.
• Mickey creating pink bubbles, one of which is turned into a lobster that attacks Donald.
• The entire scene with Goofy and the burnt-out spotlight bulb, which lights while he holds it in his hand and sticks his other finger in the empty socket.
• The entire second act of the short is cut: after Donald first spews cards from his beak, it cuts to Donald jumping through Mickey's magic hoop, thus excising the following:
  • Donald getting squirted by his own bottle of soda when Mickey uses it against him.
  • Donald falling in his box seat, which splashes with water.
  • Donald grabbing Mickey's wand and inadvertently creates an ice cream cone which blasts him in the face.
  • Mickey shrinking Donald down and forming multiples of him before shooting him into an egg, which he then breaks open in his hat, returning Donald to full size again.
  • Donald grabbing the wand again and breaking it, causing it to turn into a boxing cactus plant that punches him offstage.
• Donald threatening Mickey with the latter's pistol and Mickey warning him that it's loaded.
