User Reviews

Spooky

Mickey Mouse finds himself in a blizzard, so he seeks shelter in a creepy old mansion. It comes to no surprise (if one would read the title of this short cartoon) the mansion is haunted.

The several skeletons first scare the heck out of Mickey, but it turns out they only want him to play the piano. Once he does, the skeletons start out a little dance.

This dance is way too long to be remotely interesting, as this whole cartoon is just, well, plain boring to be honest.

Could be scary for the little ones as well. To be fair, I couldn't think of one reason to watch this... 3/10.
