Only a nerdy fat kid like me would notice this, but look carefully. Micky cuts the cake into eight pieces, yet only 7 end up on plates. (There are clearly 8 pieces until the 24th frame and then it mysteriously disappears.)

the Disney animation conspiracies started earlier than I thought!
Thanks to the magic of animation and our brains filling in details we think it looks like he ate the slice, but it disappears even sooner than that. In frame 22 it's showing all eight just lifting off the table, but in frame 23 (when it's mid-way up off the table and before Mickey's face gets in the way) it's already gone. The two slices have merged position.
I think he catches a piece with his mouth and swallows it whole!
