Goofy Gymnastics

1 views

Inspired by a magazine ad, Goofy sends for a mail order body building course. First is weight lifting; after Goofy finally gets the weights up, a fly lands and sends him crashing through several floors in the apartment building. Chinups: the bar itself goes up and down. Then a rubber-band stretch device, which Goofy quickly tangles up in, sending him crashing through the building and several other pieces of equipment.

★★★★☆ Curator’s rating Fan favourite

A mail-order bodybuilding course versus a body with no coordination in it. It is the most physically inventive of the Goofy solo shorts — the sequence where he is flung through several floors of the building is a genuine set piece — and it is one of the small handful of Disney shorts that reliably makes children laugh out loud rather than just smile.
