After being caught by surprise by Disney's wonderful Fantasy Goofy short film Baggage Buster,I decided to take a look at Goofy's first ever (official) "Art of" title.
The plot:
With having put his skiing boots on the previous night,Goofy jumps out of the bed and heads to the mountains for a long day of skiing.Originally expecting to have an action packed day of skiing round the slopes,Goofy quickly finds out that skiing is harder than he had originally expected.
View on the film:
Whilst the animation is sadly much less detailed than Goofy's previous titles,director Jack Kinney gives the movie a delightful slap-stick feel,by having Goofy crash and bump into everything from the mountains themselves,to even the bed in his own cabin lodge.
Written as a way to cover for voice actor George Johnson working away on live action TV/films,the screenplay by Leo Thiele and Ralph Wright shows little sign of being a scrambled up effort,with Thiele and Wright instead giving narrator John McLeish a thick slice of irony,which helps to make Goofy's "lost" voice,something that can be cheerfully overlooked from the mountain side.
