This short is featured as a playable level in the video game Epic Mickey: La Leggendaria Sfida di Topolino (2010).
The cartoon is mainly based on Lewis Carroll's novel "Through the Looking-Glass"; it also contains elements from the novel "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland": Mickey grows in size and shrinks as a result of eating food, and later interacts with a deck of playing cards.
This film was the 83rd Mickey Mouse short film.
The film is called "Thru the Mirror ". The film's poster misspelled the title as "Through the Mirror".
The music playing when Mickey is dancing with his two oversized gloves in "Thru the Mirror" from 1936 was used as background music at the end of tapes in the "Walt Disney Mini Classics" series, listing all of the other titles in the series.
