The History of Goofy

The History of Goofy

• Presented by Jayme Johnson

2

• 1932-The character who would later become Goofy
  makes his first on-screen appearance in Mickeys
  Revue. The only thing that remained from this
  earliest version of Goofy is his distinctive
  laugh.

3

• Goofy began appearing as part of the gang
  including Mickey Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck,
  Clarabelle Cow and Horace Horsecollar in short
  animated features.

4

• Goofys next appearances came in comic books.
  In these comics, his name was Dippy Dawg. In a
  1938 comic, the first sign of a name change came
  in The Story of Dippy the Goof.

5

• 1939-Dippy Dawg has his name permanently changed
  to Goofy for his first starring role in Goofy
  and Wilbur.

6

• Goofy started appearing in narrative How To
  videos, which he clumsily bumbled through.

• Some of these features include How to Play
  Golf, The Art of Skiing, and How to Play
  Baseball.

7

• Goofy appeared as a gaucho, or cowboy, in
  Argentina for this full-length film produced in
  1943 as part of the wartime Good Neighbor
  Policy.

8

• Goofys next appearances were as Mr. George
  Geef, the common man. He had a wife and son
  and, of course, many misadventures in domestic
  life.

9

• Goofys most recent feature film is also the
  first to revolve entirely around him. It stars
  him and his son, Max. Goofy takes Max on a
  cross-country trip full of everything weve come
  to expect from the Goof.

10

• In all, Goofy has appeared in 87 films and
  shorts. These include his feature cartoons and
  movies, as well as movies that include the whole
  gang.

11
Why is Goofy so popular?

• We are all from time to time capable of
  demonstrating his distinctive brand of
  good-humored folly, of bumbling when we try to
  excel. Every now and then we are all Goofs. In
  Goofy we see ourselves reflected. That, maybe, is
  the secret factor that makes the Goof so loved
  by so many.
