... View MoreTaking a look at the first DVD of Disney's stunning "The Complete Goofy Shorts Collection",I was surprised to discover,that the final 2 pages of titles on the first DVD did not contain a single "The Art of" movie,which led to me excitingly getting ready to witness Goofy head off in a new direction.The plot:Staying close to his trusty elephant,Goofy starts to go deep into the jungle,as he goes on a search for a mythical Bengali Tiger.View on the film:Unlike all of the previous Goofy short movies,the film opens with a 10 second opening credits list,which along with showing that people were finally getting the credit they deserved in Hollywood,also seems to have given the film makers a real burst of life.Opening by showing Goofy head into his jungle adventure,director Jack Kinney gives the animation an extraordinary,lush appearance,which along with being backed by a bouncing score from Paul J. Smith,is also given an added sense of freshness by Bill Peet ping-pong like slap-stick script.
... View MoreJust discovered this Disney Goofy cartoon on the Cartoonz for U blog as linked from Daily Motion. The Goof and his elephant are in the jungle hunting. After stopping for a picnic, the tiger finds his prey. A big chase ensues with plenty of funny gags throughout as well as a narrator during the whole thing. Directed by Jack Kinney with a story by Bill Peet, Tiger Trouble is quite funny from beginning to end. Walt himself was worried about how the tiger's stripe would look animated but he must have loved the results especially toward the end. The animator Milt Kahl would eventually also animate the ferocious Shere Kahn in Mr. Disney's last movie, The Jungle Book. So with all that said, I highly recommend Tiger Trouble.
... View MoreA Walt Disney GOOFY Cartoon.Big game hunter Goofy has no idea how much TIGER TROUBLE he's about to encounter in the jungle.The characters of the Tiger & Dolores the Elephant steal the show in this enjoyable little film, which depicts another truly brainless exploit by the Goof. Bill Peet, soon to become a celebrated children's author, was responsible for the story.Walt Disney (1901-1966) was always intrigued by pictures & 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 comic 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 childlike simplicity of message and lots of hard work will always pay off.
