Moving Day was a Disney short I watched constantly when I was little, and I make sure to pop it in every once in a while now. Everything from the visuals to the music and sound effects is super nostalgic for me. Goofy’s battle with the piano is classic, and Donald’s trouble with the plunger is great too.

You can read about this short on DisneyShorts.org or see it on Disney Treasures: Mickey Mouse in Living Color.

Watch This: Hooked Bear – 1956 Disney Short

Posted 11 years ago by Animated Shorts

The 50’s saw the end of Disney’s theatrical animated shorts, but the decade still had some gems, and a lot of them are permanently ingrained in my nostalgia. I had a lot of Disney shorts on VHS, CED, and watched them on The Disney Channel growing up.

In some ways the 50’s shorts were something new. Television had entered the picture, and new characters were being introduced. Humphrey Bear and Ranger Woodlore were two characters introduced around then. Hooked Bear was a favorite of mine growing up, and I hadn’t had the chance to watch in in a long time until recently, when I realized I owned it on the Walt Disney Treasures – Disney Rarities set.

Random SMC Connection – Hooked Bear was on the Kids Pics Happy Hampster VHS tape I wrote about not too long ago.
