This is enough to make a certain mouse a celibate monk!

Warning: Spoilers
This is an early Mickey Mouse short produced by the Disney studio. There will be spoilers ahead:

This is an idea which was used more than once-having a character dream of a future life based on a "What if?", in this instance, what if Mickey and Minnie get married? Here, Mickey has an army of children with Minnie and his life becomes a chaotic hell on Earth. His children are hellions bent on tormenting their father and destroying anything in sight. Pluto, an unfortunate bird and cat are tortured almost as badly as Mickey. Minnie disappears from the short early on, probably because she's not a fool.

Mickey gets hit with various objects, including pillows, is splashed with ink and paint, has to stop one of his darlings from smashing a pocket watch, among other things.

Finally, Mickey wakes to find it's all been a dream and there is much rejoicing. He seems to be less enthused at the prospect of marriage and fatherhood for some strange reason.

This short is available on the Disney Treasures Mickey Mouse In Black and White, Volume One DVD set and the set is worth getting.
