Goofy works to join a country club that involves not being
country or carrying a club.
You know for a short that’s basically about how to be on
your best behaviour this is really good.
There are nice transitions with the use of the gold tone cards and the serif
typeface. I love the paper doll way the
clothes move off Goofy and the way the tuxedo fits over him with paper flats
too. The quip about the suit being half
price is just the icing on the cake of a good series of jokes.
The mouse design of Queen Elizabeth is hideous, but Goofy
trying to greet her and getting knocked on the head with her specter every time
he messes it up more than makes up for that. This is the first time I ever seen goofy get
back at the narrator for his comments, and doing it with the club is great
irony. The finishing everything on your plate gag with Goofy eating everything including
the table and then waddling off screen I find really cliché but everything else
works. The idea of Goofy wanting to be a
gentleman has comedic potential that is explored well for the most part. The clothes gag is new, him trying to greet
the Queen is funny. Him being a sloppy
eater and eating everything are predictable gags, but they aren’t horribly off-putting
in ways the derail the flow it’s just annoying.
Again it’s a nice ‘how to’ short with a couple of clunky
bits, but overall it works with the transition cards, mostly
good gags, and some fun ideas.
