Moving Day is a 1936 Mickey Mouse cartoon, although the bulk of the short is centered on his co-stars, Goofy and Donald Duck (but mostly Goofy).
The short begins as Mickey and Donald are pacing around their house, worrying about their overdue rent. Cue landlord Pete thrashing the door of their house, barging in and threatening the duo with an eviction notice. After he leaves, the duo begin packing up their belongings as hastily as possible, just in time for Goofy to stop by in his ice truck. The attention of the short then centers on the Goof for the bulk of the cartoon, as he wages war with a sentient piano that resists every attempt of his to load it into his truck, while Donald struggles with a plunger that got stuck onto his tail feathers.
The short is a runner-up on The 50 Greatest Cartoons list.
- Animate Inanimate Object: The piano which hounds Goofy for most of the short.
- DIY Disaster: Donald and Goofy's specialty.
- Out of Focus: Mickey himself, typical of his later shorts.
- Stuff Blowing Up: The ending.
- Villainy-Free Villain: Pete was forcing Mickey and Donald out of their home but wasn't doing anything illegal because of this.
