Moving Day is a 1936 American animated short film produced in Technicolor by Walt Disney Productions and released by United Artists. The cartoon, set during the contemporary Great Depression, follows the antics of Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, and Goofy as they franticly pack their belongings after being dispossessed from their home. The film was directed by Ben Sharpsteen and includes the voices of Walt Disney as Mickey, Clarence Nash as Donald, Pinto Colvig as Goofy, and Billy Bletcher as Pete.

Synopsis

Mickey and Donald are six months behind on their rent payments. As they worriedly pace the floor, a sheriff arrives, played by Pete, and serves them a "Notice to Dispossess" authorizing him not only to evict them, but to sell off their belongings as collateral. He menacingly strikes a match on Donald's bill to light his cigar and leaves.

While Pete is outside putting up signs for cheap furniture, Donald and Mickey decide to move before Pete can take everything away from them. Soon Goofy, employed as an iceman, arrives with a delivery and Mickey and Donald enlist his help.

While Mickey struggles with an overloaded suitcase, Goofy tries to load an upright piano onto his ice truck, but he can't manage to keep the piano in the truck without it rolling out. Goofy eventually discovers the piano to have a mind of its own. Meanwhile Donald, in his haste to pack everything he can find, grabs a gas heater which was attached to a gas line in the wall. Seeing the leaking gas, he casually plugs it with a toilet plunger, but the pressure in the line shoots the plunger out and it sticks to Donald's bottom. He struggles to remove the plunger, but soon finds himself grappling with a fishbowl instead.

Just as Donald is able to free himself, he gets his bill stuck in the leaking gas line. His body fills with gas like a balloon until he finally shoots off the pipe and flies around the room. Outside Pete hears the commotion, comes inside, and orders them off the property. Unaware of the gas leak, he again strikes a match on Donald's bill to light another cigar. The catastrophic explosion which follows destroys the house, yet miraculously seems to throw most of Mickey and Donald's possessions into the back of Goofy's truck. As they are driving away, Pete calls after them from a second story bathtub. He accidentally turns on the shower head drenching himself. As Donald laughs at Pete's misfortune, the same toilet plunger from before lands on his bottom.
