Director: Jack Kinney
Studio: Walt Disney Home Video
Product Type: DVD

Editorial Review:

In Stand By Me (1986), one of the boys asks, "If Mickey is a mouse and Donald is a duck, what's Goofy?" The answer: he's a dog. Originally named Dippy Dawg, the Goof, as the animators called him, made his debut as an obnoxious hayseed in "Mickey's Revue" (1932). This generous collection includes 46 of the 48 shorts that starred Goofy between 1939 and 1961 (but none of the great Mickey-Donald-Goofy films from the mid-'30s). The "How to Ride a Horse" sequence in The Reluctant Dragon (1941) set the pattern for many of these cartoons. An elegant narrator (artist John Ployardt) explains a sport that Goofy attempts to demonstrate. The character that animator Art Babbitt described in a 1935 lecture (quoted in the DVD bonus material) as an easygoing dimbulb gave way to an enthusiastic but spectacularly maladroit figure. One of the funniest entries in the series, "Hockey Homicide," contains several studio in-jokes: dueling stars Icebox Bertino and Fearless Ferguson, and referee Clean-Game Kinney are named for artists Al Bertino, Norm Ferguson, and director Jack Kinney.

Description

With a gentle, childlike innocence, Goofy has delighted audiences for 70 years. For the first time ever, celebrate Walt Disney's lumbering, lovable, and eternally loyal everyman in this retrospective of his classic animated shorts and enjoy the heyday of one of the most popular characters in cartoon history. Unlike the rest of Disney's "mouse pack," Goofy didn't become a major movie star overnight. This compilation of shorts begins with the Goof's first starring role. The volume also includes animator Art Babbitt's original descriptive reference of all things Goofy, the original voice behind the Goof, Pinto Colvig, and an exclusive interview with the current voice of Goofy, Bill Farmer. You'll also have the opportunity to see theatrical posters and other memorabilia, a selection of story drawings, and background paintings. After all, it's the Goofy thing to do. Featuring exclusive introductions by film historian Leonard Maltin, this is a timeless collection from generations past for generations to come.

Goofy thru the Years.......2007-02-14

This set of thw Walt Disney Treasures series presents the career of Goofy starting from his early cartoon, "Goofy & Wilbur" to the evolution of his character, to become a father, sportsman, and deal with many other issues. It's interesting to see Bill Farmer perform the voice of Goofy, as it sems somewhat strange. The warnings on this are minimum, and considering this set is the first wave, the warnings are easily skipable.

Walt Disney Treasures - The Complete Goofy.......2007-01-16

Good old Goofy. Sportsman, Father, Adventurer. Who couldn't enjoy his antics?

As Perfect As It Gets Without The Movies.......2006-08-14

This set is simple: a compilation of all of Goofy's theatricial shorts in chronological order. Nothing more, nothing less. All shorts are presented in sparkling fashion with brightness unlike the versions found on '80s VHS collections like SPORT GOOFY and GOOFY OVER SPORTS.

One problem: No "PLAY ALL" feature. It baffles me why Disney did not put one of these on the discs.

That's very minor, however. The discs rock! The only thing possibly missing are A GOOFY MOVIE and AN EXTREMELY GOOFY movie. That would make the disc unparalleled.

Be Wary Buyers.......2006-02-21

This is an excellent product as the other reviews suggest, but be wary of purchasing from the second hand sellers...They are overcharging for a product still available through the Disney Video club...I just purchased my brand new dvd for 29.95 from the club, February 2006. Yes, you have to join, but at least you will have product to equal the high price...100 dollars can buy you 3 other vids...I shake my head at this.

GOOFY STARED IN 76 COLORED SHORTS FROM 1935-1965.......2005-09-15

The Disney treasures collection is the best and cheapest way of getting the entire series to their golden age shorts.
I must warn you not to buy any of these mini DVDS if you are someone who would love the full collection being the mini DVDS are just repeats or shorts due on future disney treasures.

GOOFY has Stared in 76 colored shorts in total from 1935-1965
Below is a complete list of all his appearnces. it comes in 4 collumns: first the episode number, then the date, then the official clasification of the series it comes under, then the title.

All Episodes clasified as Mickey Mouse are seen in both volumes of Mickey Mouse In Living Color, Any clasified as Donald and Goofy are seen in the donald Duck collection which you can check out the same details of on both donald duck dvds on amazon in my reviews.

The Goofy DVD has all 46 classified as Goofy.

the only 2 Goofy cartoons upto the 1960's that are still not available and have no furture treasure that are due out which could include them are his very last 2 original cartoons made in 1965 classified as Educational, which I think is why their not on his DVD being their not clasified as Goofy, nor are they part of any other disney series on the other treasures.

ANY OTHER CARTOONS STARRING GOOFY OTHER THAN THE LIST BELOW
were either theatrical movies, plus movies that were shorts combine when originally released which you can get on DVD now such as Mellody Time which are all classified as part of disney's masterpiece collection, but their is one movie with a goofy short not classified as disney masters which is THE RELUCTANT DRAGON, you can get the reluctant dragon on the disney treasures volume of: BEHIND THE SCENES which includes the short of HOW TO RIDE A HORSE. Or TV series and Specials made in the modern age which are not part of the treasures really. but below is a complete list of all his original production golden age shorts.

but I have to say, another Goofy cartoon famous to all Goofy fans not included in the Treasures: SPORT GOOFY IN SOCCERMANIA, it has not been released at all in the USA, but has on the UK Edition of Extreme Sports Fun,also it includes How To Ride A Horse, which means if you just want the goofy short and not the whole Reluctant Dragon Movie you can get 2 goofy shorts on this one UK DVD that are missing from Goofy's Treasure whicg just leaves his two educational shorts from the 60's left to find or hope a DVD to be released with and; you can get on amazon UK, as long as your TV is less than 5 years old it will have pal playback and aslong as your DVD Machine is multi region or free code then you will be able to play the UK DVD no matter what.
