One of the most beloved family films of all time, Francis the Talking Mule
stars Donald O’Connor as a bewildered soldier who befriends an old army
mule… who happens to talk! Second Lieutenant Peter Stirling (O’Connor)
repeatedly finds himself in a mental hospital after he tries to explain to his
unbelieving superior officers that a talking animal rescued him from behind
enemy lines. When his four-legged friend appears with plans of heroic
action, the U.S. Army faces one of its biggest – and most stubborn –
challenges.
