 Moving Day
comment
Moving Day is a 1936 Mickey Mouse cartoon, although the bulk of the short is centered on his co-stars, Goofy and Donald Duck (but mostly Goofy).The short begins as Mickey and Donald are pacing around their house, worrying about their overdue rent. Cue sheriff Pete thrashing the door of their house, barging in and threatening the duo with an eviction notice. After he leaves, the duo begin packing up their belongings as hastily as possible, just in time for Goofy to stop by in his ice truck. The attention of the short then centers on the Goof for the bulk of the cartoon, as he wages war with a sentient piano that resists every attempt of his to load it into his truck, while Donald struggles with a plunger that got stuck onto his tail feathers.

Chekhov's Gag
 Moving Day / int_22cf50f9
comment
Chekhov's Gag: Both the gas leak and Pete's lighting his stogie (and using Donald's beak to do it). Both happen separately during the short, but near the end of the short, when it looks like he has the upper hand against Mickey, Donald and Goofy, Pete makes the mistake of lighting another stogie in triumph with gas still leaking. Only when it's too late does he realize his folly.

Outfit Decoy: Goofy props up his hat by the window to make the piano think he's watching. Unfortunately, Goofy then blows his own cover by going to the front door to razz at the piano.

Protagonist-Centered Morality
 Moving Day / int_89434320
comment
Protagonist-Centered Morality: Oh, yes. Pete isn't a Lawman Gone Bad here... Mickey and Donald haven't paid their rent for half a year, but Pete is still portrayed as the bad guy for serving them with the eviction notice.note To be fair, Pete does not have the right to 1. assault Mickey, 2. light a match using Donald, and 3. throw that still lit match inside Donald's mouth.

Villainy-Free Villain
 Moving Day / int_8b4f491c
comment
Villainy-Free Villain: Pete zig-zags with this role as he both was forcing Mickey and Donald out of their home but wasn't doing anything illegal since they hadn't paid rent in six months and physically man-handling Donald which certainly goes a bit further that his assigned duties. And keeping the furniture does seem like something of an over-compensation.

Villainous Breakdown
 Moving Day / int_957e5fc2
comment
Villainous Breakdown: Pete has two: first, when he catches Mickey, Donald and Goofy in the act of trying to make off with his furniture, and second, after the house blows up and they make their escape with all the furniture leaving Pete (with a "For Sale" sign smashed over his head) to yell after them to stop from amid the rubble of their old house. As he flails his arms around, Pete accidentally turns on the hot water, which still seems to be working, which pours over his head.

Oh, Crap!: When Pete strikes a match to light his cigar in triumph over our heroes, only after he does so does he notice the gas leak our heroes had mistakenly caused. He has only a nanosecond to react in wide-eyed alarm before the lit match causes the gas to explode and level the house.
