... View More"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.
... View MoreMickey, Donald and Goofy have been given an eviction notice to leave their house due to unpaid rent by the Sheriff, who is none other than Pete. That set off a panic for the three to pack up their stuff, which apparently they didn't really know how to do it organization, as stuff fly and fall over everywhere! But what results were hilarious misadventures in the process, from Donald getting stuck in a plunger to Goofy battling it out with a piano that seemed to have a mind of its own.Mickey seemed largely missing in this cartoon short, though he is in it. But, it's still a funny, laugh-out-loud short that will bring entertaining to both adults and children. Lots of slapstick fun and classic character personalities! Grade A
... View MoreMoving Day is one of my favorite cartoons of all time, and it has always been. I remember this Mickey cartoon being my favorite of the 7 on the Mickey DVD I had(which I still have now). As a kid, I would be a fan of SpongeBob and Tom And Jerry, but I still had a heart for classic Disney. This short's plot is that Mickey and Donald are very late on paying rent, so in order to prevent Sheriff Pete from selling their items, they have to move as quick as possible(with the help of Goofy). The visual gags are frequently imaginative and hilarious, such as Goofy's trouble with a supposed possessed piano and Mickey trying to fit all the items into one suitcase. The vocal performances in this are top-notch, the most credit going towards Billy Bletcher as Pete. Also, the animation is still revolutionary today, 1936 or not. Overall, Moving Day is a consistently funny, great-looking, and extremely well- voiced cartoon that is hilarious fun no matter how old you are.
... View MoreAbout 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.
