DISNEY GOOFY HOW TO

When Colvig left just before the Disney strike of 1941 and the outbreak of World War II, Goofy seemed to clone himself for a variety of sports-based shorts like the Oscar-nominated How to Play Football in 1944 or 1946’s Double Dribble.Ī very official radio announcer delivered all the dialogue in these shorts, which could occasionally drift further into fantasy like the 1946 medieval-set A Knight for a Day, where again all characters are Goofy clones, but which has a story that follows a particular squire named Cedric through a jousting tournament. “Goofy schemed and plotted, however dimly,” Barrier writes (page 148), first rising to prominence in the short Moving Day, becoming the first Disney character outside of Pluto to have a clearly defined inner life, particularly when trying to fix a broken car. His design was primarily created by animator Art Babbitt, and his voice during this time was provided by story man Pinto Colvig, who also filled in on some characters’ voices when necessary. And then by the early 1990’s with the TV series Goof Troop, he has a son named Max, so….don’t even ask us to figure that one out.Īccording to Michael Barrier’s tremendously well-researched 1999 book Hollywood Cartoons: American Animation in its Golden Age, the character emerged in 1932 in the short Mickey’s Revue as Dippy Dawg, eventually acquiring the name Goofy several years later.
