Goofy goes camping and gets abducted by aliens.
Yeah this one is weird.
It’s starts out decently enough with Goofy driving out to a campsite and
pulling out an audiobook, on cassette no less, to learn how to camp. I like this set up with the narrator coming
from the Walkman the entire time while Goofy explores his surroundings. I like that Goofy decides he hates camping
and goes home, throwing the Walkman out of the car at the end. It’s the whole middle that bothers me, because
it comes across as really plain.
I think this major problem for me comes with the issue of
budget once again. If the creators had
had the chance to create a truly alien world for Goofy to explore with a different
coloured sky and weird creatures and plants to interact with I think I would have
liked this idea a lot more. Instead it’s
just Goofy wandering around one room of a tiny alien spaceship and climbing
plastic things. The design of the aliens
and the slapstick against them caused by Goofy’s actions are okay I guess
nothing really special though.
Like with ‘How to Be a Rock star’ there just isn’t enough
substance here for me. There might have
been with a better budget for a bigger environment and more out there designs
for the aliens and their world, but as it is I just find it boring and bland
outside of the setup of the audio narrator at the beginning and Goofy getting
fed up and leaving at the end.
