Moving Day (1936)

"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.

Mickey, 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

Walt Disney was famous for his fascination with butt jokes. We see it here. This cartoon has two extended jokes. One is a tussle between Goofy and an animated piano. Its among the best bits in early animation.The other, longer piece was surely scripted by Walt. It has Donald in all sorts of butt-problem situations. Its more curious than funny. Where do jokes about rear ends come from? Donald was created pretty much for this purpose and most of his projects concern rear ends until Walt became obsessed with Disneyland and trains.Ted's Evaluation -- 2 of 3: Has some interesting elements.

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.
