Summary
The plausible impossible is where an event that would be impossible in real life is made to see plausible in the animated story. Walt Disney made a documentary over this topic showing lots of examples of the plausible impossible. Here are some of them.
Examples
While Donald duck is eating the doorbell rings. In real life a doorbell ringing would not cause your head to shake because it is just a sound. However in the animated world this is plausible because a doorbell can surprise a person and make them jump. Also the sound of the doorbell mirror the way Donalds' head moves.
When Gus Goose shakes Donald Ducks had it shakes him up and down. This is impossible because someone can not lift another person up and down just by shaking their hand, gravity won't allow it. This is made plausible by the fact that some peoples hand shakes are very hard and can make you feel like you are shaking. Also Gus Goose is winds up for the hand shake to add momentum. He is also bigger than Donald Duck which makes him seem like he could be stronger.
In one scene Gus Goose eats a whole table full of food. This is impossible because no one, human or goose, can eat that much food. However this is made to be possible because of how rapidly he consumes the food, making him seem ravenous. It also helps that the food appears to be smaller when Gus shuffles it together.
Later Gus and Donald are fighting over the last pea, they are both trying to suck it into their mouths and they lift it into the air. This is impossible because it defies the laws of gravity. This is made plausible because they lift the pea off the table. They are also both trying very hard to eat the pea.
Later Donald uses a hot dog to get rid of Gus because after he eats the hot do it acts like a real dog barking and running around. In real life it is not possible for a hot dog to act like a real dog because it is not living so it can't move or bark. This is made plausible because the word hot dog reminds people of a dog. Also after Gus eats the hot dog and Donald acts like a cat the "dog" responds by barking and making Gus run around, like a real dog.
