This short is an update of the 1931 black and white short "The Birthday Party". The 1931 version only had Mickey, Minnie, Clarabelle and Horace, since none of the other characters existed at the time.
It also has some marks of 1932's "The Whoopee Party".
Some of the animation of Mickey's wild dance was actually originally done by Ward Kimball for "The Reluctant Dragon", not only used in the film.
