Creative yes, funny not really

"Lonesome Ghosts" is an almost 80-year-old Walt Disney cartoon. It does not happen too often that Mickey, Donald and Goofy appear in the same film, but here they do and it's nice to see them together. Sadly, after the first scene at the office (and apart from the ending), they sort-of get their own very short film each of them within these 8 minutes. The three are called to a spooky place where a bunch of ghosts are truly board because they have nobody to fear. How luck for them that our Disney trio works as ghost hunters right now and here they come. They get owned by the ghosts pretty harshly, but wait for who has the last laugh. This film has Walt Disney, Clarence Nash, Pinto Colvig and Billy Bletcher as voice actors, some of the finest and most talented people back in the day which certainly elevates the material. It was smartly written and it's a very fast and creative short film. Unfortunately, however, I have to say that I found the action here just not as entertaining as most of their other movies (and why does Goofy not know how he looks like in the mirror scene???). That's why I don't recommend giving this a watch. It certainly could have been a lot funnier.
