Legacy

• In 1930 the story of Plane Crazy was adapted and used for the first story in the newspaper comic strip Mickey Mouse. This adaptation, entitled "Lost on a Desert Island," was written by Walt Disney with art by Ub Iwerks and Win Smith.
• In the Mickey Mouse short The Nifty Nineties (1941), Mickey and Minnie's car runs out of control and runs into a cow. The scene was taken almost directly from Plane Crazy.
• The cartoon "Mickey's Airplane Kit" (1999) from the series Mickey Mouse Works and House of Mouse featured a similar premise in which Mickey built his own airplane to impress Minnie.
• In the television series Mickey Mouse Clubhouse (2006–present), Mickey regularly flies the plane from Plane Crazy which he calls the "Toonplane."
• In Porco Rosso, in a theater in Milan, Porco watches a movie which has references to vintage cartoons.
