What animated short features Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck and Goofy hunting ghosts?
"Lonesome Ghosts" is a 1937 Disney animated cartoon, released through RKO Radio Pictures on December 24, 1937, three days after "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" (1937). The short features Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, and Goofy as members of The Ajax Ghost Exterminators. It was the 98th short in the Mickey Mouse film series to be released, and the ninth for that year.
The Ajax Ghost Exterminators - Mickey, Donald, and Goofy - are hired by telephone to drive out four ghosts from a haunted house that has long been abandoned. Unbeknownst to them, however, they were called by the ghosts themselves, who are bored because nobody has visited the house since they had been haunting it for a long time. They wish to play tricks on the living and do so through a series of inventive, annoying pranks. After hearing the ghosts' laughter, the three split up to hunt the ghosts individually.
Mickey opens the door, which causes water to pour out of it while the ghosts surf across it on surfboards. Donald, meanwhile, is whacked in the rear with a wooden board and is scared away by the sounds of banging chains and dishes. Goofy runs into a bedroom at the sound of a ghost banging a wooden spoon on a pan.
