The insects have completely taken over Mickey's garden. He spritzes them with insecticide, but runs out and they keep feasting. He mixes a new batch. Meanwhile, Pluto stalks a bug and gets his head stick in a pumpkin. He stumbles around and bumps into Mickey and the sprayer, giving Mickey a faceful of bug juice. He awakens to a warped reality, where the bugs and plants are giant sized, and the bugs get drunk on the insecticide and chase our heroes.
Decades after its release, Mickey's Garden remains a vital piece of the cinematic puzzle. Its influence can be seen in countless modern works, solidifying Wilfred Jackson's status as a master of the craft in United States and beyond.
