Donald and Goofy are out in the countryside putting up posters advertising tomato soup. As with the clumsy Goofy and the bad-luck plagued Donald, this cartoon is doesn't short of mishaps for the poor two. Some funny moments here and there, especially with Goofy getting spooked with the twirling blades of a windmill and Donald getting tormented by a mean and annoying goat. But, it is mostly average slapstick stuff. It's too bad Donald and Goofy doesn't ever get the upper hand in this cartoon and always let the mishaps get the best of them. Grade C-

In this cartoon Donald and Goofy are out in the countryside pasting up posters for tomato soup. It's a rather odd place to be doing such a thing considering such ads are usually pasted over the plywood boards of an abandoned shop in a dreary ghetto, but never mind.Goofy decides to paste a poster onto a windmill (a rather odd choice) but ends up getting frustrated by the twirling blades. Donald is pasting a poster on a farmhouse but is tormented by a tin can-eating goat (cartoons often portray goats as can-eaters-is this for real or is it just a myth?) who eats the posters as soon as he puts them up.After some effort they both overcome their obstacles and succeed at their task. Now all the country animals can appreciate the tomato soup ad. Weird.

A Walt Disney DONALD AND GOOFY Cartoon.Donald & Goofy, working as BILLPOSTERS, encounter trouble from an angry billy goat and an uncooperative windmill.This is a wonderful, hilarious little film, with excellent animation. It is a fine example of the quality of work the Studio was capable of producing on a small scale, even as it was switching gears to accommodate the simultaneous creation of feature length cartoons. Clarence "Ducky" Nash supplies Donald's unique voice.Walt Disney (1901-1966) was always intrigued by drawings. As a lad in Marceline, Missouri, he sketched farm animals on scraps of paper; later, as an ambulance driver in France during the First World War, he drew figures on the sides of his vehicle. Back in Kansas City, along with artist Ub Iwerks, Walt developed a primitive animation studio that provided animated commercials and tiny cartoons for the local movie theaters. Always the innovator, his ALICE IN CARTOONLAND series broke ground in placing a live figure in a cartoon universe. Business reversals sent Disney & Iwerks to Hollywood in 1923, where Walt's older brother Roy became his lifelong business manager & counselor. When a mildly successful series with Oswald The Lucky Rabbit was snatched away by the distributor, the character of Mickey Mouse sprung into Walt's imagination, ensuring Disney's immortality. The happy arrival of sound technology made Mickey's screen debut, STEAMBOAT WILLIE (1928), a tremendous audience success with its use of synchronized music. The SILLY SYMPHONIES soon appeared, and Walt's growing crew of marvelously talented animators were quickly conquering new territory with full color, illusions of depth and radical advancements in personality development, an arena in which Walt's genius was unbeatable. Mickey's feisty, naughty behavior had captured millions of fans, but he was soon to be joined by other animated companions: temperamental Donald Duck, intellectually-challenged Goofy and energetic Pluto. All this was in preparation for Walt's grandest dream - feature length animated films. Against a blizzard of doomsayers, Walt persevered and over the next decades delighted children of all ages with the adventures of Snow White, Pinocchio, Dumbo, Bambi & Peter Pan. Walt never forgot that his fortunes were all started by a mouse, or that simplicity of message and lots of hard work always pay off.

Goofy and Donald Duck are out to put up some posters on a windmill. Why a windmill? Who knows. This short is well made but somewhat uneven. Goofy really outshines the feathered one. Most of Goofy's funny bits simply stem from the fact that he's Goofy. Donald's segments deal with him battling a goat who would like to eat the posters. Donald's segments just don't hold up to Goofy's.
