Summary: crippled by no Play All feature
Review: ... Unfortunately, the DVD is crippled by no "Play All" feature. If you're an animation historian, this is probably a great DVD. If you or your kids enjoy the Disney animated features and want to watch them all, you'll soon chuck this DVD in the trash because you have to navigate to each movie individually. Somebody seriously dropped the ball on this one. Why on earth would you put out a compilation DVD and not include a way to play all the selections?????

Summary: How could this set be anything but great?
Review: Anyone who enjoys animation will like this set. Goofy is by far one of Disneys most hilarious characters. I am sick of reading reviews from all of these moms that make this set look bad because of no "play all" feature. Well to all the moms out there, this set is not made for kids, although they will enjoy these. Disney did not make such a fine set so that you could glue your kids to the tv. TVs werent meant to be baby-sitters.This is truly an animation lovers dream and if you own this then you know how lucky you are. Complaints aside, the general public truly is lucky to have these classics in their original form.( Anyone who feels this set is no good can donate their copy to me) We are lucky that Disney released this set in their original form in a world where everything is censored so strictly. Some of Goofy's greatest shorts on this set are How to be a detective, No Smoking, Goofy and Wilbur, and Aquamania. This set is worth it in every way, so if you are debating on whether or not to buy it, I suggest finding it ASAP or the price will only go up on it. Hope you all enjoy this as much as I did!

Summary: Beautiful set -- until Disney insults your intelligence
Review: As far as Disney's animated shorts go, the Goofy cartoons are probably the funniest the studio ever did, and this mostly wonderful two-disc set collects them all -- every "How To" cartoon, every sports cartoon, every cartoon from the "George G. Geef" era -- they're all here. Some are better than others, of course. The earlier "Geef" cartoons, before Pinto Clovig returned as Goofy's voice, don't feel like the character at all. There are also three great featurettes on this set, one about Clovig himself, one about the evolution of Goofy and an interview with Bill Farmer, the current voice of the Goof. Hearing Goofy's voice coming out of this jolly, rust-haired man is jarring and wonderful at the same time. One complaint -- boy, has Disney gotten PC. On four of these cartoons, they found it necessary to do a disclaimer by Leonard Maltin because the cartoons contain some potentially "sensitive" material -- a World War II era cartoon has the audacity to use the term "Jap," a western send-up has stereotypical "injuns," a short about a teacher sparks fears of school violence and a bullfighting classic portrays Mexicans in an "unflattering light." All four disclaimers have essentially the same message -- "People weren't as smart then as they are now! Please don't hate us." Please. I'm all in favor of intros, putting cartoons in context, historical data, etc., but the way these four cartoons were singled out really insulted my intelligence. It's GOOFY, for Heaven's sake, was anybody planning to take the cartoons seriously? In my review of a previous "Treasures" DVD, "Mickey Mouse in Living Color," I said that Warner Bros should use these discs as a model for how to do Looney Tunes DVDs. If they followed the model of "The Complete Goofy," we'd have a disclaimer in front of every Speedy Gonzales short. It's still a really good collection, but for maximum enjoyment, when you see Leonard Maltin's face pop up before these four shorts, hit the "next" button on your remote.

Summary: One of three DVDs we have been waiting for . . .
Review: As my review's title suggests, finally we have a DVD collection we have been waiting for - with a Mickey collection and a Donald collection now available as well. In "The Complete Goofy," 46 cartoons that we've grown up watching are available once again, including ones like "Victory Vehicles," "Californy 'er Bust," and "Father's Day Off" that pre-date the politically-correct generation in which we now live. Leonard Maltin has a short introduction preceeding any cartoons that one may find offensive, but most people would be very excited to allow their young children to watch "the Goof" give instructions on various sports, tackle a tiger or a lion, and try to impress his son. For us adults too young to remember when cartoons shown in the movie theaters was a usual occurance, but too old to enjoy many of today's modern cartoons, this collection is amazing and provides many extra bits of trivia we may not have known before. Did you know that the original voice of Goofy left Disney early in the character's development, so a speechless Goofy appeared in many "How to" shorts while a replacement actor was found? Did you know that Goofy's signature "holler" -- so recognizable by any Disney fan today -- began as a yodler making a hilarious mistake which Disney decided was too funny to re-record? All in all, this collection is PERFECT for parents and children to sit down together and enjoy. My 4-year-old son and I have watched it through many, many times.

Summary: Bring back Dippy Dogg
Review: Contrary to most of the reviews here, I find the 'Goofy' DVD to be lightyears behind the animation and beauty of many other cartoons. While I would give the Mickey Mouse DVD's 5-stars, I only give Goofy's DVD 2 stars as most of his cartoons are quite frankly, boring and repetitive. The Goofy DVD starts out in top form with its best cartoon (Goofy & Wilbur) followed by two strong (and earlier) cartoons. After that, it's all a downhill slide. The 'How To...' cartoons are extremely repetitive in nature and continuously use the same gags and gag lines. Most of the Goofy cartoons would be 'ok' if sandwiched in with various other (non-Goofy) cartoons, but one 'How To...' after another is enough to lull you to sleep in no time. Hey, maybe that's another idea for a new Goofy "How to...'cartoon. 'How to stay awake.' Of course, if they follow the normal 'How to...' forumla, it will be the same as the Goofy cartoon issued in 1953...'How to Sleep'. But by then, you won't know if you are awake or asleep...

Summary: Moms need the Play All Feature
Review: Disney really [messed] up. Where is the "Play All" that is on the other Treasury disks. I'm a mom, my kids get to watch a video while I take a shower or mop the kitchen floor (like most kids). That's just not possible with these disks. I will not buy this as a gift, I will not buy a second one. Disney should remake the disks with a play all and send them to anyone who wants a replacement...

Summary: Lack of "Play All" feature is Goofy
Review: Disney released this DVD set minus the PLAY ALL feature. This makes watching this DVD annoying. If I had known Disney was going to remove the PLAY ALL feature, then I would NOT have bought this DVD. I recommend you avoid this DVD until Disney adds the PLAY ALL feature.
