This is a silly little cartoon short featuring Mickey, Donald and Goofy as a ghost hunting team, who got called up by four bored ghosts in a haunted house. They have scared everyone away and decide to have some fun freaking out Mickey, Donald and Goofy.
It's a unique short that does not follow the more conventional plot line. You have some frightful fun mixed in with some classic Disney magic - all resulting in a pretty entertaining story. It's fun for adults and kids, and might even scare away some little ones during a fright night. Also, the animation is pretty good in this one and the characters are colorful Great for laughs.

"The lonesome ghosts" is one of my favourite episodes of Mickey Mouse.Its about four ghosts who get bored and want something exciting to happen so they call ghost busters who are also bored because they get no customers and not making money.When they get a phone call from the ghosts,one ghost has put on a fake accent to make the ghost busters believe their prank. Then Mickey,Donald and Goofy believe their prank and go there immediately with not so good equipment and unaware what surprise is in the house.I find it easy to say that Donald is the coward,Goofy is the goofy one and Mickey is the brave one,always encouraging the other two to do stuff that they are not so sure about but it shows in this that all three are cowards when they say they are professionals and fearless.It is always fun to watch this episode again and again because the humour never stops.
This a very exciting and funny episode that is enjoyable for the whole family and if you want to see it,get a copy of "Everybody loves Mickey" or "Mickey's house of Villains".Is it just me,or does Mickey Mouse never grow old?

This is a well-known Mickey Mouse/Halloween short, and it was hard to believe that it premiered on Christmas Eve of 1937. I remember clips of this short on the TV special "Disney's Halloween Treat," but I was usually too scared to watch them or the whole cartoon. But as an animation-loving adult, I had watched the whole short on my Mickey Mouse DVD box-set and it was OK; I wasn't scared anymore.
You all probably know what the short's about: four bored green phantoms want to have some fun. So, after seeing their ad in the paper, the ghoulies lured Ghostbusters Mickey, Donald, and Goofy over to their haunted home, the old McShiver Mansion, with a fake phone call. As I've said before, I don't have a favorite scene. I just love the ending quote Donald gives out: "So you can't take it? You big sissies!"
So anyway, it's a wonderful cartoon for Halloween and my favorite Mickey/Donald/Goofy cartoon.

Lonesome Ghosts is a classic cartoon, with great visual gags and a good story this has the whole package. It mayn't be the absolute best of the Disney cartoon canon, but it is like a real pleasure of mine. The animation is very well done, with spooky enough backgrounds and nice dark colours. The music is pleasant also, with some nice macabre motifs and quirky ones for the ghosts and their antics. Mickey, Goofy and Donald are on top form, as are the four lonely ghosts who want some fun(who wouldn't?). Making sure that is possible is the spirited voices of Walt Disney, Pinto Colvig, Clarence Nash and Billy Bletcher(who I know as the original voice of Pete). Also excellent are the quips between the ghosts and the ending.
Overall, a classic of a Halloween cartoon, and if you love Lonesome Ghosts I highly recommend Trick or Treat. 10/10 Bethany Cox

This one features Donald, Mickey and Goofy in one of the more famous and memorable shorts. The trio come to a haunted house, as they are ghost exterminators—but the ghosts have other plans themselves! They plan on scaring the three and putting an end to their business. While this looks very possible, a little mixup at the end involving flour turns the day in favor of our heroes.
This is a gorgeously animated cartoon—with some of the very best color animation you'll find in a Disney short—with vibrant colors and amazingly beautiful backgrounds. It's simply one of the best looking shorts Disney made. As for the story, it's wildly creative, full of nice gags and fun. What's not to like about this film?!

- TriviaIn 1973, an edited (and silent) version of the cartoon was released as a cartridge for the Fisher-Price Movie Viewer. The small manual, hand crank-operated toy required no batteries and could be played forward or in reverse at any variable speed determined by the user. The viewer itself looked like a cream-colored plastic super-8 camera with a multi-colored circular hand crank on one side and a small plastic window that provided a light source on the other. One end had a small magnifying glass view hole, while the other end had a space for the rectangular movie cartridge. To experience this flicking picture show, the child would insert the yellow cartridge and crank away, watching the movie through the eyepiece. The viewer used an 8mm strip of film that was permanently looped on the inside of the cartridge so that at the end of any particular strip, the clip would simply begin again.
