Lonesome Ghosts

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Lonesome Ghosts is Disney animated cartoon featuring the Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck and Goofy trio as members of the agency "Ajax Ghost Exterminators" (often described later as precursors of the Ghostbusters).

They are hired by phone to evict a number of ghosts from a haunted house. Unknown to them they were hired by the ghosts themselves, four lonesome ghosts who are bored because nobody has visited the house they are haunting for a long time. They wish to play tricks on the mortals. And they do through a series of inventive gags, but by the end the trio has managed to scare the ghosts out of the house.

As Donald observes "So you can't take it, you big sissies!". But Goofy offers what is considered the short's most memorable quote while warily looking around him: "I'm brave but I'm careful." Another Goofy quip is "I ain't scared of no ghosts!"

Lonesome Ghosts was also the basis for, and title of the fourth level in the game, Mickey Mania: The Timeless Adventures of Mickey Mouse [(for Super Nintendo, Sega Genesis, Sega CD and Sony PlayStation (as Mickey's Wild Adventure)].
