The Tokyo Disney Resort is marking its 30th anniversary with The Happiness Year celebration starting April 15th and running through March 20th, 2014. Tokyo Disneyland opened to the public April 15, 1983. Since then DisneySea and three hotels have been added to the popular resort. Several new daily events have been introduced in the two parks for the occasion along with special landscaping, decorations, and merchandise.  The Happiness is Here parade, Happiness on High fireworks show will be performed daily.

In addition to limited edition merchandise, Disney is adding Happiness Sharing Spots in both Tokyo Disneyland and DisneySea. A Happiness Sharing Pendant, which must be purchased, will activate a special interactive light and sound event. Upon activating three happiness events the guest earns a special free pendant accessory.  This technology is very similar to other interactive programs Disney has been installing in their US theme parks, such as the Agent P adventures in Epcot and the new Pirates of the Caribbean game in Magic Kingdom.

Unreleased Mickey Mouse sketch from 1938 Mickey's Toothache

The Disney archives have released a newly discovered sketch from 1938, “Mickey’s Toothache,” part of an incomplete cartoon that was part of an effort to make Mickey a more complete character.

In “Mickey’s Toothache,” created in April 1938, artist Ferdinand Horvath has the newly adventurous Mickey experiencing something akin to a psychedelic nightmare. In the words of Disney Archives Director Becky Cline, Mickey has traveled to the dentist and fallen under the influence of too much laughing gas. The overdose sends Mickey into a “nightmarish world inhabited by living teeth, dental floss, a psychotic dentist’s chair and a vengeful pair of dental pliers," said Cline.
Mickey’s then-nemesis Pete also makes an appearance in the nightmare scenario. It culminates with Mickey being put on trial led, of course, by a judgmental wisdom tooth, who charges Mickey with tooth neglect.
The previously forgotten piece of artwork was discovered by the Disney animation research department in a folder lost for more than 74 years. It was unearthed just a few months ago.

“Mickey’s Toothache” is just one of several unveilings being planned as part of this year’s D23 Disney Fanniversary Celebration, an event that began last year as a way to include members of Disney’s official fan club in some of the company’s milestone events. The Horvath image will be included in a 90-minute presentation showcasing some of this year’s other major Disney anniversaries in 10 different U.S. cities (Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, Newark, Orlando, Phoenix, San Diego, San Francisco, Seattle and Washington, D.C.).
