label : Goofy, Goofy cartoon character.We all love the clumsy, in-his-own world Goofy. Believe it or not, his name was not always Goofy! Here is the history of Goofy Cartoon Shorts.
May 25, 1932: He first appeared in "Mickey's Revue", where Mickey and his gang performed a song and dance show. He appeared as a member of the audience whose name was "Dippy Dawg". That's right, he had a different name, and he was not part of Mickey's gang yet!
September 17, 1932: Dippy Dawg was in "The Whoopee Party" as a party guest and friend of Mickey and his gang. As Mickey's friend, Dippy Dawg made a total of four appearances in 1932, and two more in 1933.
In 1934, Walt described the Disney Studios cartoons as being "goofy", and in the "Orphan's Benefit" Cartoon, the name stuck! He was finally revealed as the Goofy we all know and love.1935, in "Moving Day" is when Goofy really began to take shape, and really took off as a star! In the second half of the '30s, Goofy did several shorts, along side Micky and Donald Duck. These shorts started off on March 16, 1935 with "Mickey's Service Station". After that, as they say, Goofy went down in history!
March 17, 1939: Goofy appeared in his first cartoon alone in "Goofy and Wilbur". In this cartoon, Goofy and his pet grasshopper, Wilbur, shared a fishing trip together.
In 1941, Goofy starts his role in the "How-to" sporting shorts. Goofy, of course in his hilarious, innocent way actually shows us how "not-to" do what he's trying to show us. These series became popular, and is now the format that most of the Goofy shorts are presented.
1945 was the year Goofy began to explore his many sides with a series of shorts. In these shorts he was shown with a different personality. So, goofy didn't always have to be clumsy!Just to prove he could be mature, in the 1960's he was in a Suburban role. He played as "Mr. George Geef" a married man with a son, going through modern life. Goofy shed his usual clumsy, silly-voiced self to portray the "normal" American life.
This is the history of his shorts. After all this, he went on to star in his own TV Series, "Goof Troop", with his son Max. Goofy starred in a few movies, and is now part of the TV series "the House of Mouse", and Mickey Mouse Clubhouse.
