| In 1941, Goofy began starring in a popular series of "how to" sporting films (The Art of Skiing, How to Ride a Horse, etc.). In these shorts, the Goof responds in pantomime to a droll professorial narrative, the stodgy seriousness of the narrator playing in sharp contrast to Goofy's clumsy demonstrations. The result is a hilarious visual depiction of "how NOT to" accomplish the task being described. But, through it all, Goofy remains undaunted, ready to move on to the next lesson. It is perhaps for this series of nearly two dozen cartoons that Goofy's film career is most fondly remembered. |
