'''''Mickey's Man Friday''''' was a planned remake of the 1935 Mickey Mouse cartoon with said name. This would've been the second Disney cartoon to be remade shot-for-shot, the first being ''Orphans' Benefit''. '''''Mickey's Man Friday''''' was originally going to be part of a short film, ''Mickey's Revival Party'', which would've included shot-for-shot remakes of old black-and-white Mickey Mouse cartoons remade with updated character designs and color. However, the idea was soon scrapped, and ''Mickey's Man Friday'' never finished production.

==Availability==
As of now, only rough sketches and model sheets can be found of this remake, but it is currently unknown whether or not any animation was produced.
