“Somethin’ wrong here.”
Deep in the Disney vaults you’ll find all sorts of curiosities, like Song of the South, tobacco and alcohol, and a comic strip of Mickey Mouse coming to the brink of taking his own life when Minnie leaves him for another rodent. In 1937—the year the House of Mouse released its first feature length animated film, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs—a short was released called Lonesome Ghosts that features Mickey Mouse wielding a shotgun as he goes poltergeist hunting with Donald Duck and Goofy.
Decades before Bill Murray, Harold Ramis, and Dan Aykroyd strapped on their proton packs in Ghostbusters, the Ajax Ghost Exterminators were investigating the old McShiver mansion, hired by the mischievous wraiths themselves for a bit of entertainment. All manner of slapstick comedy ensues, including a sequence where a ghost mimics Goofy’s movements, prompting the Goofster to outwit himself and gouge a pin into his own derrière. The Lonesome Ghosts have occasionally appeared in other Disney products such as Mickey Mania for the Super Nintendo.
