Two Gun Goofy

Not the most surprising of plots, one that is fairly similar to a Mickey and Pete short from the late 20s-30s, but still a huge amount of fun. It works wonderfully as a spoof on westerns, an interesting genre that can be under-estimated. The gags are clever and hilarious, especially the literally explosive ending and Goofy's finishing line. The plot is not much of a surprise, but moves very quickly and is still entertaining. The animation is bright and colourful as well as beautifully drawn, while the music is so well orchestrated and characterful, as always managing also to synchronise with the action. Goofy's song is catchy and has funny lyrics. Goofy is still a very likable character with great comic timing and a strong personality that is well interwoven with the scenario. Pete, with a closer character design to the Pete we are familiar with now, is decidedly antagonistic and contrasts to thrilling effect with Goofy(though he generally works better with Mickey). The voice work is excellent.

To conclude, a little routine but funny, colourful and clever western spoof that is quite a good introduction to the genre. 9/10 Bethany Cox
