I can only think of 'The Galloping Gaucho'; Mickey suddenly goes from having goggle eyes to those with the open hole style and it develops even further with the next few scenes. 'The Opry House' also has Mickey without gloves and Mickey with them, and it would be the last time in this period where Mickey has none.

Midway through Warners' Rabbit Every Monday, Yosemite Sam's mouth shifts from under his mustache (with visible lower lip) to within it.

Mickey's mid-cartoon design change in Gallopin' Gaucho is explained in the gigantic Taschen book by David Gerstein and J. B. Kaufman.

Not theatrical animation, but kinda related to it nonetheless... In the Goof Troop episode "Midnight Movie Madness", Goofy briefly reverts to his vintage 1940s character design (rather than the 1950s design which his Goof Troop look is based on) in one single shot where he sticks his head out of a door. I'm guessing this is a coloring error more than anything else.

By the way, is there a way to embed videos rather than just link to them? I couldn't find it when I wrote the above comment.

It is? I have a gift card and I don't know whether I should waste it all on this book to read more.... care to explain?

EDIT: Aha, here it is, summarized from the Taschen book; as I expected, it was a result of experimentation right as 'The Galloping Gaucho' was being animated. Something about Iwerks wanting to stray Mickey's design from Oswald's rounder appearance, then making Mickey in turn much more like Oswald.

"Donald's Double Trouble" is the first cartoon in which Donald's sailor blouse doesn't have buttons on it...except in one scene, where the buttons are there.

As pointed out in the book "Of Mice and Magic", in the Van Beuren short "Circus Capers" (1930), the two mice started out looking like Mickey and Minnie, but by the second half of the short, the male mouse looks more bear-like and seems to have gain weight somehow.

Mickey's tail disappears during the course of "The Little Whirlwind".

And here's one from The Walter Lantz Story:

During production of "The Screwball", it was decided to stop drawing Woody with teeth, the reasoning being "Why does a woodpecker need teeth?". But since it happened during production, sometimes Woody still has teeth.

Tom and Jerry never stayed the same, and if MGM had lasted longer they probably would've finally gone UPA.

I've been reading Pogo lately and noticed that Kelly can't seem to decide what Mam'selle Hepzibah looks like.

1975 Jerry should have a red bowtie. (I think Tom & Jerry Kids Jerry should also have a red bowtie.)

It was a very random choice. I think HB did it.

I was always disappointed that that T&J 50 Years book by TR Adams had 80% pictures from the Filmation and HB shows rather than the Golden Age.

Oh, no. I didn't. But if I did, thanks for the observation anyway!
