Walt Disney Treasures - The Complete Goofy

Having viewed and purchased the Silly Symphonies and Mickey Mouse in Living Color DVD's of this same set, I have to say that The Complete Goofy is the best collection of them all to date. Containing almost twice as many cartoons as the Mickey Mouse in Living color disc, this DVD offers up one of the most hilarious and high quality cartoon collections on the market. I had literally forgotten some of these cartoons after they disappeared from the current pc market. For the more sensitive cartoons that Disney fears will be offensive, Leonard Maltin makes a brief introduction that serves not only to put sensitivities at ease, but improve our appreciation for the humor by placing it in historical context. This feature gives collectors hope that the delayed "Disney Goes to War" DVD will be released without unnecessary editing.Additionally, two options are available this time that weren't previously on previous "Treasures" releases. We are allowed to choose between chronological and alphabetical lists of the cartoons. This gives the viewer the ability to find specific cartoons with ease and also to view the evolution of Goofy's endearing character. The only drawback, as another reviewer mentioned, is that one cannot choose a "play all" feature that was available on previous titles.The picture quality on this DVD is astounding and each cartoon looks better than I have ever seen before. The sound quality is decent and has not been restored to a higher quality than the age of the cartoon demands. Some marvelous features are included, such as a lengthy discussion with Bill Farmer, the current voice of Goofy, who offers us several samples of his famous voice and even what I call the "Goofy fall" scream. A biography on Pinto Colvig, the original voice of Goofy, is also very informative. It explains that the birth of the "how to" cartoons came from Colvig's temporary departure from Disney which left Goofy without a voice. An interesting tidbit for Disney fans is that Colvig also provided the voice of Grumpy and Sleepy in the Disney classic, Snow White. These and many other extras round out the collectors "Complete Goofy" experience.Although this collection would be loved by children of all ages, these Goofy cartoons may be best appreciated by adults who understand his struggles as an "everyman". I can speak for myself when I say that these cartoons are funnier now more than ever as I can relate with Goofy as a parent, a hard worker who can't seem to relax on vacation, or sleep through the night. With only 125,000 copies being printed, this DVD which is bound to be far more popular than previous "Treasures" is sure to go fast. It is a purchase one won't regret.

This is one of the better Treasure sets. Every single short is unedited and looks really, really good! Beyond the 6 shorts listed below all the other shorts that have Goofy are available on other Walt Disney Treasure sets.How To Ride A Horse (1941) - from the Reluctant Dragon - also on Walt Disney Treasures Behind The Scenes At Walt Disney Studio set. There's some talking over the title cards. See below for a release without talking over title cards.El Gaucho Goofy (1943) - from Saludos Amigos (on DVD but Goofy's cigarette edited) - available unedited on laserdisc 'The Three Caballeros/Saludos Amigos Exclusive Archive Collection' and 'Walt and El Grupo DVD'.Freewayphobia (1965) - available only from Disney Educational Productions - Driver Safety DVD unavailable retailGoofy's Freeway Trouble (1965) - available from Disney Educational Productions - Driver Safety DVDSport Goofy In Soccermania (1987) - "Extreme Sports Fun" DVD - is not on the US Version of this DVD - only on imported PAL DVD Versions, the UK, Sweden, etc. Extreme Sports Fun also includes How To Ride A Horse without talking over the title cards.and for good measureHow To Hook Up Your Home Theater (2007) - Thanks to the reviewer below who pointed out this set came out in 2002. It's on the 'Have A Laugh Vol 1 DVD' but if you'd rather not pay 15 dollars for 1 short not on other treasure sets it's on iTunes for 2.99.

Product was as expected, delivery was improved by 3 weeks.

My five year old loves this collection, and I do too, but with some reservations. Goofy was a better co-star than star, and you get more pleasure from his turns in classic Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck cartoons than from those in which he starred on his own, the only ones collected here. Also, it is utterly infuriating that this DVD does not let you "play all" the cartoons with a single click. Each successive cartoon you watch must be separately selected and clicked on one of two menus (alphabetical or chronological). That's OK if you're only watching one or two cartoons, but is most annoying when you would like to simply kick back and watch the disk. The same mistake was made on "Mickey Mouse in Black and White," another of the "Treasures" released simultaneously with this one.

I cannot believe I bought this for one cartoon, and it's not there. I really thought that something called "The Complete Goofy" would contain Goofy's 2 Freeway cartoons, where he learns to be a safe driver. Don't get me wrong, this is a great collection, and I'm enjoying it, but I feel soooo disappointed. Why does the collection need to end in 1961, why not 1965 with Freewayphobia No. 1 and Goofy's Freeway Trouble? According to one site, these were the last two Goofy shorts until 1983, and the ONLY ones not included on the collection.Also, I agree with the reviewer who said there needs to be a Play All option. My son loves Goofy and it's frustrating to him to have to keep going back to the menu.

Goofy (originally named Dippy Dawg) was never one of Disney's strongest stars and was usually paired with Mickey or Donald. However when Pinto Colvig (the voice behind Goofy) left the studio the cartoonists put Goofy in a non-speaking role in a series of "How To" cartoons that are some of the funniest Disney ever put out.This collection has nearly all the Goofy cartoons and is a great addition to any library. Remastered for maximum picture and sound these are a look back at some great cartoons. I highly recommend this collection.

Regalo para un chico que llevaba años, años buscando un episodio concreto de Goofy. Multilingüe pero por desgracia el buscado "Prohibido fumar" no estaba en español. En cualquier caso objetivo cumplido.

Ha sido una compra excelente para cualquier fanático de Goofy. Es una recopilación entera de su historial de cortos creados en los principios de Disney. Representan a Goofy en una variedad de roles e historias: de simple ingenuo a padre de familia, a guia para cualquier deporte...Ademas de una gran cantidad de informacion extra sobre nuestro entrañable Goofy, como detràs de escenas, sus origines, y más.En fin, si es uno fan de Goofy, no debe perderse este DVD.

ESTE PRODUCTO ES TAL Y COMO PONIA EN LA OFERTA. TODO SE HA AJUSTADO A LO PROMETIDO. MUY BIEN TODO.

Can’t beat classic cartoons especially Goofy.
