Q: I have very fond memories of watching a Mickey Mouse short on VHS called Lonesome Ghosts. I recently re-watched it and was wondering if/where I can get a cel from the short that I could buy. If not, it would still be cool if you could talk about some interesting facts about the short. It was one of my favorite things to watch at the time. Thanks!

A: Lonesome Ghosts was a popular 1937 cartoon featuring Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck and Goofy as ghost exterminators. It was directed by Burt Gillett, who directed many Disney cartoons in that era, and is perhaps best remembered by animators at the Disney Studio because of the transparent paint that was created for the ghosts. Few cels from the cartoon have ever been on the market.
