ASK DAVE YOUR QUESTION I have been repeatedly watching Disney's "A Happy Haunting" Sing-along video. Some clips jogged my memory and I want to find the cartoon on DVD. The clips are of Mickey, Donald, and Goofy going on a trip and end up at an old spooky house where there are green ghosts that play tricks on them. What is the name of this cartoon? - Kristin, 38, Riverside, CA DAVE'S ANSWER The cartoon is called “Lonesome Ghosts,” made in 1937. The Disney Ink and Paint Department was successful in coming up with a unique transparent paint for use on the ghosts. The cartoon has been released on several DVDs, the most recent being “Walt Disney Treasures, Volume 1: Mickey Mouse in Living Color” in 2001.
