Walt Disney Treasures: The Complete Goofy (DVD, 2002, 2-Disc Set, Collectible)

Description: Walt Disney Treasures is a series of two-disc DVD collections of Disney cartoons, television episodes and other material. They cover material from the studio's earliest days to its more recent work. There were nine waves, each containing two to four sets, for a total of 30 titles. All content is presented uncensored and uncut with digitally restored picture and remastered sound (except where noted on individual titles). In 2009, the Walt Disney Treasures series came to an end when Dick Cook left the Disney company, and the new management of Walt Disney Home Entertainment was uninterested in continuing the series. As Maltin recalled: "Of all the projects I've worked on, the Walt Disney Treasures has cut the widest swath. People love those DVDs, and over a decade since their demise people continue to ask me if they will ever be released on Blu-ray. The apparent answer is 'no', because there is no-one to champion them within the Disney company... If I had my druthers I would've continued producing and hosting Walt Disney Treasures but as it stands I'm proud of what we accomplished over nine years." Currently all Walt Disney Treasures DVDs are out of print. The Complete Goofy This set provides a look at all of the cartoons involving the career of Goofy except for How to Ride a Horse (1941) (a segment from The Reluctant Dragon) (although the original theatrical poster is included in the Disc 2 gallery), El Gaucho Goofy (1943) (a segment from the package film Saludos Amigos), Freewayphobia #1 (1965), Goofy's Freeway Trouble (1965), Sport Goofy in Soccermania (TV special) (1987) and How to Hook Up Your Home Theater (2007) being made and released after the initial DVDs set came out. The "Donald & Goofy" shorts Polar Trappers (1938), The Fox Hunt (1938), Billposters (1940), No Sail (1945), Frank Duck Brings 'em Back Alive (1946), and Crazy with the Heat (1947) are instead included on The Chronological Donald, Volume 1, Volume 2 and Volume 3, respectively, because they have always been put under Donald Duck's filmography, not Goofy's. In addition to the commentary provided by Leonard Maltin for some of the galleries on Disc 2, Goofy himself (voiced by Bill Farmer) provides some comments on others. Only 125,000 sets were produced.Disc one1939Goofy and Wilbur1940Goofy's Glider1941Baggage BusterThe Art of SkiingThe Art of Self Defense1942How to Play BaseballThe Olympic ChampHow to SwimHow to Fish1943Victory Vehicles1944How to Be a SailorHow to Play GolfHow to Play Football1945Tiger TroubleAfrican DiaryCaliforny'er BustHockey Homicide1946A Knight For a DayDouble Dribble1947Foul Hunting1948They're OffThe Big WashBonus FeaturesThe Essential Goof: Using a montage of clips from the various Goofy shorts on this set, the analysis of the character, as spoken by the one who originally drew him, Art Babbitt (who also created the Big Bad Wolf and the balletic mushrooms in Fantasia) is repeated here. You can view the entire analysis on the article on Goofy by clicking here. Incidentally, Art's narration is actually spoken by Earl Boen.The Man Behind the Goof: A mini-biography about the original voice of Goofy, Pinto Colvig. This biography reveals that in his youth, Colvig loved to travel with the circus, where he'd perform as a clown. He spent much of his life at Disney where in addition to voicing Goofy, he'd also voiced Pluto, the Practical Pig, the Grasshopper in The Grasshopper and the Ants (where Colvig, as the grasshopper, sang "The World Owes Me a Livin'", which he'd later add to Goofy) and two of the Seven Dwarfs (specifically, Grumpy and Sleepy). He also left Disney temporarily to voice Gabby at Max Fleischer's studios, but later returned to Disney where he'd spend the rest of his life voicing Goofy. He also was the original Bozo the Clown for Capitol Records on records, radio and television.Disc two1949Tennis RacquetGoofy Gymnastics1950Motor ManiaHold That Pose1951Lion DownHome Made HomeCold WarTomorrow We DietGet Rich QuickFathers Are PeopleNo Smoking1952Father's LionHello AlohaMan's Best FriendTwo-Gun GoofyTeachers Are PeopleTwo Weeks VacationHow to Be a Detective1953Father's Day OffFor Whom the Bulls ToilFather's Week EndHow to DanceHow to Sleep1961AquamaniaBonus FeaturesA Conversation With Goofy's Voice: Bill Farmer: As the title implies, Maltin interviews the present voice of Goofy, Bill Farmer, who had been voicing Goofy since 1986. Farmer reveals his origins and how he came to voice Goofy. It is revealed that Farmer had voiced Goofy in more than 3000 different Disney projects, not only cartoons, but also albums, telephones, commercials and many others.Poster Gallery: Many of the posters of the Goofy shorts are presented here. Curiously, Maltin does not provide commentary as he usually does on the sets; instead, it's Goofy who provides the occasional comment/exclamation.Memorabilia Gallery: This gallery shows off various Goofy memorabilia, such as books and albums. Maltin does do the commentary here.Goofy Through the Years Gallery: This gallery reveals storyboard sketches, animation drawings and background paintings of many of the Goofy shorts presented. Again, Maltin does not provide commentary; once again, it's Goofy.
