The Goofy Success Story (12/7/55)
Walt Disney shows how Goofy achieved stardom in Hollywood.
Note: This show was released theatrically overseas in 1959.
Note: This show was released as a bonus on
the DVD release of "A Goofy Movie".
Cartoons: (1) Moving Day [1936], (2) Moose Hunters [1937], (3) How To Ride a Horse [1941], (4) Motor Mania [1950]. Short scenes from
the following: Shanghaied [1934].
TV animation created: (1) Curtain opening up to a flat globe of
the Earth.
The camera zooms in on
the corner of
the USA marked "Hollywood". (2) Talent scouts observe from every possible direction different people on
the streets of Hollywood, hoping to seek new talent. These people are seen as having an intangible something (i.e., a look, a smile, a face, a body, ability). (3) Goofy walks down
the street to a restaurant to eat, but decides instead to go to a movie theater to see Mickey Mouse, his favorite actor. (4) Goofy goes into
the theater to watch a Mickey Mouse cartoon, at which he starts laughing "Ahuh-ahuh-ahuh". This in turn causes everyone else to laugh with him. (5)
The talent scouts in
the theater hear Goofy's guffaw and instantly decide that he has
the makings of a movie star. They capture him and drive him out of
the theater in a limo and to a movie studio, where he is given his first role in a movie - leads into "Moving Day". (6) Goofy is in a conference at
the studio with
the board of directors and movie mogul J.B., having proved his worth. J.B. says Goofy will get $50 a week for 48
years, to which Goofy accepts. (7)
The board presents Goofy with an ironclad contract, in which Goofy signs his name as Dippy Dawg, at which J.B. and
the board collectively balk. They decide promptly that Goofy needs a new name, one, in J.B.'s words, "with more dignity" - they decide on Goofy. Goofy also likes that name, too. (8) Goofy is then presented with his first $50 - all of which goes out to various organizations, leaving Goofy to owe $8. (9) J.B. then describes to Goofy in poetic style what it takes to be an actor, using an "actor's progress chart", which features a stick figure of Goofy. (10) For his next picture, J.B. intends to take Goofy out of a supporting role and into a leading role, as
the front part of a moose - leads into "Moose Hunters". (11) Goofy has attained stardom in
the public eye, as seen on magazine covers. (12) Different TV camera take a peek inside Goofy's new home and follow whatever he does - sleeping, waking up, moving across his bed by jumping across it, doing exercises in front of mirrors on which to practice his expressions and pampering his voice and swimming in a different pool for each day in
the week - he is in his Saturday pool, which is a bathtub. (13) Goofy dresses up in a horse-riding outfit and then leaves his home to go in his own limo to
the studio, where all his fans are waiting with open autograph books, all of which he signs as he goes by in
the limo. He then heads for stage 13 to film his next picture in his horse-riding outfit - leads into "How To Ride a Horse". (14) It is award night in Hollywood and Goofy is in attendance, hoping to snag an award for himself for his performance. But they all go to other actors besides him - including a canine actor named Pluto! (15) As his past flashes before him, a devastated Goofy trudges down to
the edge of
the sea, where
the sea sirens attempt to lure him out to
the water, promising peace. But as he heads out to open water, Goofy receives a telegram from J.B., who is summoning him to
the studio for a dual role, promising it to be an opportunity and a chance of a lifetime. Goofy promptly dismisses
the sea sirens and returns to
the studio for his performance in
the dual role - leads into "Motor Mania". (16) Ending of "Motor Mania" changed to Goofy in
the wrecked car remarking that he would never actually drive like how he does as Mr. Wheeler. (17) Goofy finally receives an award for his performance in "Motor Mania", which is accorded highest honors in
the theatrical motion picture classification for films on safety.
The narrator says, "And so, at last, Goofy, from nonsense, you've finally made sense."[/quote]
Thanks so much for your additional info on
the animation in these 3
Disney TV shows. I haven't checked
the discussion forum in
years because I have many hobbies and interests and my
Disney interest has been low
the past several
years with other interests (writing, etc.) taking my time and attention. I am impressed that you followed my format of how I listed
the various animation scenes. I have not personally seen any additional shows since I last posted my TV show information here. It has been so long since I looked at this Discussion Forum that I considered myself very lucky to have remembered my file name and login code info.
