The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity

Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

"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.

Moving 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.

My father had a copy of this on 8mm, which pleased me very much as a kid growing up to be able to see my own cartoons. As for the 8mm film, I still have it tucked away. However the big differences for me from this description: my copy is in B&W, not color as stated. Also, mine is silent -- the 8mm film projector we had didn't have any sound, and in addition I don't recall seeing any soundtrack band on the actual film -- I'll have to pull it cut of storage and look at it again to confirm. Plot is pretty much the same as described, with Goofy as the Ice delivery man, and the general mayhem around moving (especially around packing suitcases, great sight gag on the film when they over-pack the bags).

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.
