This cartoon had a very negative view on how I felt about cellulite. As a child, I struggled when I heard the word fat, feeling like there was nothing good about it.From the age of 5 till about 10, I had seen quite a few things about weight portrayed in a horrible light. This cartoon did not help that image.There were several scenes from this short that stuck with me. Goofy deflating the car tires, grounding the elevator, and his stomach growling like a dog. He tightens his belt to suppress his hunger, only to watch in horror as it busts lose, his gut now whimpering like a frightened pup.The harshest thing about this was the fact that Goofy's reflection talked negatively to him instead of giving him encouragement. I believe this may well be Goofy's conscious telling him to improve his lifestyle. However, it doesn't seem to work very well and at the end of the cartoon. Goofy's reflection has now eaten all the food. So if this is indeed Goof's conscious, he has taken a turn for the worse and will continue his gluttonous ways.This cartoon would probably be more funny to me now than a while back. Some of the scenes are just overblown. I will come back later to clean up my review and give a final score for this.

Goofy opens up the cartoon by eating a whole table of food in a few seconds. His reflection tells him he's too fat and he gets new clothes. When he gets in the taxi, the tires deflate, the elevator won't go up, and he falls off his chair. His reflection tells him not to eat, but he reads a book with food, tempting to eat even more. The EAT, EAT, EAT, repeatedly is pretty scary at first. Goofy goes to bed but he wakes up wanting to eat, but his reflection ate all the food in the fridge.I only like Goofy shorts from Disney, I never watch Mickey or his other friends, they just aren't that funny as the Warner Bros. characters.10/10

MUCH LIKE ALL of the other GOOFY Cartoons of the period, this one really hits the target. Anyone who has had the temerity to call himself heavyset, husky/stocky or (our personnel favourite) "big boned" as euphemisms for their own overweight condition, will surely see more than just a little bit of himself in this cartoon.WE BELIEVE THAT so much of the success of one reeler cartoon shorts like this one is due to Director Jack Kinney. Having screened so many of these Disney theatricals lately, we seem to have been able to isolate and instantly identify one of his pictures by his distinctive style.OUR STORY: THE Picture opens up with Goofy's raiding the old ice box; embarking on a culinary marathon of binging on whatever tidbits of leftovers that can be procured at that time. True to real life, Goofy dispatches those various items with post haste, breakneck velocity. In short, he's become a rapid-fire eating machine.EMPLOYED AS THE central dramatic device of the story is the gimmick of having Goofy's conscience addressing his gargantuan gourmet weaknesses through the implementation of an independent minded reflection in his bedroom's vanity mirror. It this inner alter-ego who finally dares to unveil that Goofy does indeed have a problem with his excessive weight. As we all know, the first step in solving a problem is recognizing that one exists.THIS SOLITARY CONFINEMENT action is followed with a litany of gags involving many different characters' daring to call Goofy that one word that no obesitarian* wants to hear. That would be referring to our hapless hero as "Fat" by given name.WE MUST CONFESS that we saw more than a little bit of our self on the screen in this one. Although this both has been and is a touchy and highly sensitive area for this writer, we found that the humor generated in this by Mr. Disney, Jack Kinney and their production team helped to bring about a newfound determination to address the situation and get our own personal "borders" under control.BUT WE UNDERSTAND if you don't think that we'll start on a program; let alone succeed. As a matter of fact we could just hear what you'd probably be saying right about now.IT'D GO SOMETHING like: "Fat Chance, Ryan!"NOTE: * We just made that one up! We're lobbying to get this one into the dictionary this year!

Disney have some classic shorts under their belt, and some feature Goofy, to date still one of their funniest and most likable characters. Goofy still is his appealing everyman and loveably clumsy self, and does it so naturally, though while this is a fun scenario and done remarkably well it isn't the best one to show Goofy at his very best(where he is clumsy and lovable for it, or making situations harder than they actually are that isn't obvious to him but is to the audience). Tomorrow We Diet! is still a hoot though, the gags are clever and genuinely funny and we are also taught things in a way that's fun and not in a way that we are talked down to. Especially seeing as weight and dieting are sensitive issues and are still relevant today. The animation is colourful and vibrantly shaded, with a lot of attention to detail and beautiful drawing too. The visuals of the food and the contents of the cook book are done in such a way that they are too good to eat or give you the urge to do so. The music sounds great with catchy themes and jaunty orchestration, it has bags of energy and does well with enhancing the action. All in all, colourful and entertaining, not Goofy at his very best but relevant and difficult to resist. 9/10 Bethany Cox
