Horst in Translation ([email protected]) "Moving Day" is a Walt Disney cartoon that runs for a fairly long 9.5 minutes and was made back in 1936, so still before World War II. It has its 80th anniversary this year. The best thing about it probably that Micky, Donald and Goofy are in here and also interact on several occasions, especially when wreaking havoc. Donald and Mickey are in danger of losing their furniture when their evil landlord decides to take it. So, with the help of iceman Goofy, they rush the decision to quickly move somewhere else. A plan as chaotic as their actions for the rest of the film. But the audience has fun thanks to this. I would not say there were any really great or really really funny moments, but it was a decent watch from start to finish and I recommend checking it out. This trio is always reliable in delivering quality entertainment. Thumbs up.
TheLittleSongbird I saw this Silly Symphony today, and you know what it is hilarious. The jokes are well timed, and I can't count the number of times I was laughing throughout. The jokes include Goofy getting stalked by a piano, Mickey struggling to fit everything into one suitcase, and my favourite Donald trying to get (wait for it) a plunger then a goldfish bowl off his rear end. As far as I am concerned it was these extended jokes that made the short so enjoyable. Others pros are colourful Technicolour animation, a lively music score and the incomparable voice talents of Walt Disney, Billy Bletcher, Pinto Colvig and Clarence "Ducky" Nash. Plus Pete is deliciously horrible here. All in all, silly it all sounds, but actually a hilarious Silly Symphony, that has already become a favourite! I never realised a moving day could be so funny. 10/10 Bethany Cox
tony_ginorio About to be foreclosed upon by Sheriff Pete, Mickey and Donald need to move out fast, leading to the usual mayhem. Goofy, as an ice delivery man (ask your grandparents), comes to help them out; but, as usual, he's no help at all.This is one of the earliest cartoons to team Mickey, Donald and Goofy, and one of the best. The formula is established early on: The trio have a common task to complete, then split up for individual gag routines. The gags are very clever and well timed, and the action is fast-paced, with everything building up to an exciting climax. Of particular interest to animation buffs is Art Babbitt's handling of Goofy. He bends and twists his joints far past the breaking point, yet makes it seem absolutely natural, giving the Goof an astonishing flexibility without seeming rubbery. A must for cartoon fans.
Shawn Watson Mickey and Donald are way behind in their rent money. Sheriff Pete (so tough he spits nails into the wall and hammers them in with his fist) wants his house back and decides to sell their furniture to make up for the debt. As soon as the mouse and duck start to pack up their meagre belongings all hell breaks loose, as it usually does in a Disney cartoon.Ice Deliveryman Goofy is stalked by a runaway piano, Donald gets a plunger/goldfish bowl stuck on his behind and Mickey has trouble fitting everything into one suitcase. Obviously the Sheriff ain't so keen on this last minute buffoonery but he gets what he deserves in the end.
