The stage set in front of the seating area for The Magic of Disney Animation theater presentation usually features a number of Hidden Mickeys. A coffee mug on the right side of the animator's desk middle shelf has a blue classic Mickey on it. Another blue classic Mickey can be found at the top of a pencil that's sticking out of a container on the top of the desk. You can also see classic Mickey balloons on a large round button at the top left of the animator's drawing board on the front of the desk.
