The Skeleton Dancing one always cracks me up!

OH this Goofy short where he's learning how to drive.

This is simply called "Flowers and Trees" I think

called "The Skeleton Dance"

I'm not sure about this one.

I'm pretty sure that this is called "Goofy and Wilbur"

I don't know, but you spelled hilarious incorrectly.

I think you're incorrect. It's called, "The Grasshopper and the Ants". "Goofy and Wilber" is different than that. Wilber, the grasshopper, is a fish bait.

The other one where Goofy's learning how to drive is called "Motermania". There's other two shorts like this, but I can't recall the name.

Maybe they'll be part of the upcoming PE of Pinocchio. :wink:
I hope so, Big Disney Fan. Region 2 version of Pinocchio has 2, I mean, 2 "I'm No Fool" shorts but not on Region 1 version. :headshake:

If Disney decides to put one of the "I'm No Fool" animated shorts in the upcoming PE of Pinocchio, I'll be very happy. *crosses her fingers* :roll:

Oh Awesome... Thanks guys for the names :) and thanks Ichabod for the Thread link.

I hope they make some more shorts..I really liked The Little Match Girl.

Some new shorts with Mickey Mouse Donald and Goofy would be cool too.

There are hundreds, and I think I know most of them now - a lot of them are really good, so that makes it pretty much impossible to pick a favourite...

There's so many treasured Disney Shorts that it's hard to pick favorites from 'em.

All Time Favs:


4 Lil Pigs Shorts: It's style, plot device and villian are really effective for emotions. The films were my very first servings of Disney animation and is charged for getting me a head start on my reading skils (placed captions on the screen)


Mother Goose Goes Hollywood: Seeing Hollywood sketched in a Disney film is a very special treat, there's some interesting people in it, Ned Sparks, W.C Fields, Greta Garbo and many more.


Lambert The Sheepish Lion: I can relate with "Lambert" cause I felt outcast by my peers during middle school season, it's boosted my courage for being outgoing and the title character is wonderfuly animated.

Broken Toys: Very lushful, well written/animated film that's should be considered a classic, though there's no catchy tunes, it's theme: Out of the dumps is quite amusing.

Those are some my personal favs.

write back please

I've always been a fan of Pigs is Pigs. When those guinea pigs dance behind the plant pot and come around the other side with a handfull of babies... hilarious.

I also love everything with Humphrey the Bear... his panicked run when he realizes he's under fire is one of the best animated sequences ever... his legs running faster than his head knows where to go. Classic.

And I wish that Lorenzo was available somewhere. I've seen it once, and I loved it. The idea of becoming a dancing slave to your own tail is golden.

[b]Carnival Kid[/b] and [b]Barn Dance[/b] are bursting with the old gags that I love so well. But, as mentioned, there are really too many to count just a few favorites.

I have two favorites that I watch at least once a week, if not more. They are Pluto's Christmas Tree, Mickey and Pluto get a Christmas tree unfortunately they cut the one down that was home to Chip 'n' Dale and mayhem ensues when they get home to get it decorated. Donald Duck and Goofy make a cameo appearance at the end of the short. The other one that I really love is Trailer Horn starring Donald Duck and Chip 'n' Dale. This is probably one of the funniest of the Chip 'n' Dale shorts.

Oh the weather outside is frightful
But the fire is so delightful
And since we've no place to go
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.

The above has absolutely nothing to do with the topic at hand, but I was thinking about that song and wanted to share it with you guys anyway.
