Goofy rides a bike.
This is another well done how to short. I love the transitions between each subject and
how many have their own matching images.
Accessories get the horn, helmet, and air pump; while rules of the road card
gets several types of traffic signs.
I enjoy how enthused Goofy is about wanting to race his
bike and that he is quite good at it. He
keeps up well in the BMX race and only really gets slowed down by the other
bikers, resulting in the usual slapstick.
Still Goofy is determined, and his tenacity, and remembering to wear a
helmet, win the day. Then we get to end with
a great remainder of the most important rule of riding a bike: to watch where
you’re going.
The only things I‘d have to say I don’t like are the
night visual gag, I don’t know maybe it’s just too obvious a gag and the use of
repeated animation with biker pack blowing out the smoke and the detour
sign. As I’ve commented on before with
other shorts repeated animation is used a lot by Disney, because it’s cost
effective, but normally it isn’t used within the same short.
Still it’s good short with some fun gags, good use of
visuals with the transitions cards, and I enjoy seeing Goofy do well at riding
a bike.
