"Mickey's 50" is a 90-minute special that aired on The Wonderful World of Disney on November 19, 1978. The special was made to commemorate the 50th birthday of Mickey Mouse and highlights many moments in his career.

One of Mike Jittlov's greatest short films, also known as Animato: Fashionation (1977). The short was made using kinestasis and cutout animation, mostly from fashion magazines illustrating the lyrics of the song "I Know a Place" by Petula Clark. It also extensively used multiple exposures, pixilation and stop motion for the brief live-action sequence. The second half of the film opens The Wizard Of Speed And Time (1988) in a re-scored version.

Mike’s 1974 short film Swing Shift, where a department store security guard on the night shift tries to fend off a bunch of clothes that spring to life as the clock strikes midnight. Featuring Dan Collins as the guard, and scored with Bernard Herrmann’s Oscar-winning music from The Devil & Daniel Webster (1941).
