The Whalers

The Whalers is a Mickey Mouse short released 19 August 1938.

Summary
Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck and Goofy are sailing in search of whales. Donald tries to eat a sandwich for lunch, but seagulls harass him to get the sandwich and eat most of it. While Donald is preoccupied, a pelican eats the remainder of the sandwich. Meanwhile, Mickey tries to pitch a bucket of water off the ship, but it keeps coming back to him. Donald and Goofy spot a sleeping whale, but Goofy's efforts to shoot a harpoon fail. He eventually launches a harpoon, but his foot gets caught in the line and when the harpoon hits an iceberg he ends up hanging from the ropee above the whale's head.

Donald rushes to Goofy's rescue, but isn't fast enough and Goofy falls off the line, through the whale's blowhole, and into the whale's mouth. Lighting a match so he can see better, Goofy inadvertently wakes the whale and it starts to sneeze. A wave comes in through the whale's open mouth and washes Goofy around. He gets blown out of the whale's blowhole and falls back down, getting his head stuck in the blowhole. Meanwhile, Donald falls into the water and the angry whale chases him back to the ship, where, after Donald is nearly eaten, the whale rams and destroys the ship. Mickey, Donald and Goofy fly through the air and land on a small raft made of the ship's debris. Goofy ends up with a fish in his hands, and, believing it is the whale, says, "Gosh, must have shrunk!"
