MartinHafer This one features Donald, Mickey and Goofy in one of the more famous and memorable shorts. The trio come to a haunted house, as they are ghost exterminators—but the ghosts have other plans themselves! They plan on scaring the three and putting an end to their business. While this looks very possible, a little mixup at the end involving flour turns the day in favor of our heroes.This is a gorgeously animated cartoon—with some of the very best color animation you'll find in a Disney short—with vibrant colors and amazingly beautiful backgrounds. It's simply one of the best looking shorts Disney made. As for the story, it's wildly creative, full of nice gags and fun. What's not to like about this film?!
Julia Arsenault (ja_kitty_71) This is a well-known Mickey Mouse/Halloween short, and it was hard to believe that it premiere on Christmas Eve of 1937. I remember clips of this short on the TV special "Disney's Halloween Treat," but I was usually too scared to watch them or the whole cartoon. But as an animation-loving adult, I had watched the whole short on my Mickey Mouse DVD box-set and it was OK; I wasn't scared anymore.You all probably know what the short's about: four bored green phantoms want to have some fun. So after seeing their add in the paper, the ghoulies lured ghostbusters Mickey, Donald, and Goofy over to their haunted home the old McShiver Mansion, with a fake phone call. As I would said, I don't have any particular scene I like. I just love the ending quote Donald gives out: "So you can't take it? You big sissies!"So anyway, it's a wonderful cartoon for Halloween and my favorite Mickey/Donald/Goofy cartoon.
app354 Long before Bill Murray and company wiped out all the ghosts in New York City, Mickey, Donald, and Goofy were doing the job (but not in NYC, and without the proton packs and other gadgets, of course). In this classic 1937 short, the trio are ghost hunters who go into a haunted house, where they end up having some wacky adventures (Goofy gets stuck in a dresser, etc.). In my opinion, this is definitely one of the best of all the Disney shorts (and there are many to choose from). And the ending of this one is just PERFECT.
Matt-293 Fast paced Disney short has Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, and Goofy as "ghost exterminators" who get called to an old house by the prank-playing ghosts themselves. The animation and Technicolor is terrific, as usual, and the storyline allows the trio to get scared in all sorts of creative ways. This was made when the familiar Disney characters' personalities were at their peaks: Mickey is the resourceful group leader (and not the bland goody-goody he would become later on), Donald is the short-tempered one, and Goofy is the well-meaning dunce. Even the ghosts have spunk and verve - a winner!
