Where is that from?

amulI have this image in my head of an old fable being retold by Disney. Mickey Mouse has just killed three flies and he sticks his head out the window and shouts out, "I killed three in one blow!" Unfortunately, the townsfolk outside his window were talking about what to do about the giant that's been rampaging around the countryside.
What story is that?

The Brave Little Tailor. There's a bit of a mix up when Mickey is bragging about killing seven flies with one swat, and someone was asking about giant killing. So they all think Mickey the Tailor is a giant slayer, and send him off to kill a giant that's terrorizing them. Or some such. I used to have this as a disney sstory book when i was a kid...
