Well, 'Shrek' has elements of mistaken identity too. When Fiona is under a curse and Shrek shows up, there's all sorts of confusion and funny moments related to that. Another one could be 'Aladdin,' where Aladdin pretends to be a prince and gets into all kinds of funny situations because of the mistaken identity.
One example could be 'The Emperor's New Groove,' where Kuzco gets turned into a llama and has to deal with mistaken identity shenanigans.
There was this time at the airport. A woman saw a man with a similar suitcase to hers. She followed him all the way to the car rental area thinking he was her husband.

Well, in a hotel once. A woman mistook another woman for her sister. She started chatting away, asking about family matters. The other woman was really polite at first, trying to figure out what was going on. Eventually, they realized the mistake. The woman who made the mistake was so red - faced. But they ended up having a good laugh about it. This kind of mix - up often happens when people look somewhat similar or when we expect to see someone we know in a certain place.

A really funny story is about a postman. He delivered a package to the wrong house. The lady who received it thought it was a gift from her estranged brother. She opened it up and was all excited. Then the postman came back realizing his mistake. The lady was really disappointed at first but then she and the postman had a good laugh about it. It was a case of mistaken identity not just of people but also of the intended recipient of the package.
Surprise is a big part. When someone mistakes an identity, it's unexpected. For example, if you think your neighbor is a secret agent. Also, the reactions of the people involved. Like when the person who is misidentified either plays along or gets really flustered.
One of the first such stories might be 'Cinderella'. The stepsisters mistake Cinderella for someone of lesser importance until she shows up at the ball in all her glory.
