Goofy takes up boxing.
This is basically a how to short under a different name,
probably because something like How to Fight would have seen as not family
friendly. It follows the typical pattern
of history and specifics of the art. The
history I find less interesting this time, because it’s basically two Goofy’s pounding
on each other in different outfits. Although
the narrator yelling quiet at the cavemen , Goofy as various versions of Father
Time, and the background design in the fisticuffs match save it from being completely
unwatchable.
I really like the boxing stuff and the shadow boxer is my
favourite part. I love how it just takes
charge of the fight and schools Goofy on every move. And I love how Goofy’s response is to pull
his belt up higher and higher so his shadow can’t hit him. The only thing I don’t really like is the
slow motion section. I don’t why, but
something in the animation just seems odd to me. Also the ending feels really abrupt yeah the
knockout is a given, but I don’t know it still feels like there could have been
something else to go with it rather than the short just stopping.
So while there are a couple of iffy spots for me here I
still do like this short over all. The narrator
getting to interact a little bit with the characters with the yelling of quiet
and foul, and setting the pace of breathing are great. I love the transitions through each time
period, even if the fighting is boring, and the comic strip style background
the fisticuffs brawl is something I would actually like to so more of.
