Francis the Talking Mule

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.
