Moose Hunters is a 1937 American animated short film produced by Walt Disney Productions and released by United Artists. It was the 93rd short in the Mickey Mouse film series, and the fourth for that year.[2] The cartoon stars Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, and Goofy on a moose hunting expedition. It was directed by Ben Sharpsteen and features music by Paul J. Smith. The voice cast includes Walt Disney as Mickey, Clarence Nash as Donald, and Pinto Colvig as Goofy.

This cartoon was released in the same year as Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937).

Plot

Mickey, Donald, and Goofy go hunting for moose. Mickey instructs Donald and Goofy to distract a moose so he can shoot it, and they disguise themselves in a female moose costume to lure one.

They attract a black bull moose by spraying perfume on the costume and leading it toward Mickey. Meanwhile, Mickey encounters a red bull moose. The red moose becomes distracted by the disguised pair, but the black moose arrives and challenges it.

The two bulls begin to fight, forcing Donald and Goofy to flee. The moose soon realize the deception and chase them, with Mickey joining the escape. The trio ultimately flee by boat, ending the cartoon.
