Goofy Gymnastics Trailers

Inspired by a magazine ad, Goofy sends for a mail order body building course. First is weight lifting; after Goofy finally gets the weights up, a fly lands and sends him crashing through several floors in the apartment building. Chinups: the bar itself goes up and down. Then a rubber-band stretch device, which Goofy quickly tangles up in, sending him crashing through the building and several other pieces of equipment.

Reviews
MamaGravity good back-story, and good acting
PiraBit if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.
AshUnow This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
morrison-dylan-fan After spending all day in Birmingham getting some gifts for two birthdays, I decided to end the day by watching a short and sweet short. Planning to start the second Complete Goofy DVD in a few days,I decided today was the perfect time to start watching Goofy again.The plot:Return home from work, Goofy sees an ad for gym equipment that can help him build muscles. Getting all the equipment, Goofy takes it to the gym, and finds out that building muscles is tougher than expected.View on the film:With the screenplay by Dick Kinney mostly keeping Goofy at the gym, director Jack Kinney (brother of Dick) uses the setting to keep the Comedy moving at a lightning-fast pace, with each gym machine Goofy uses leading to rubbery slap-stick Comedy mishaps. Pumping Goofy up,the fluid, brightly coloured animation lifts all the troubles Goofy has with weights, with Pinto Colvig wonderfully putting Goofy's tiredness across in his voice, as Goofy goofs up at the weight lifting.
TheLittleSongbird I do like Goofy and actually enjoy his cartoons as an adolescent than as a kid, where I was more partial to Mickey and Donald. Goofy Gymnastics has always been one of my favourite Goofy cartoons. The animation is colourful and fluid, Goofy has been slightly better animated before but he still moves with ease and still looks good. The music is full of the typical energy, with a delightful if brief snippet of Song of the Volga Boatmen. The story is crisp and has its charm, slightly routine, but elevated hugely by the hilarious slapstick that shapes the humour and the cleverly written and thoughtfully delivered(by John McLeish) narration. Pinto Colvig is great as Goofy, who is still as endearing as ever. All in all, I recommend Goofy Gymnastics highly. 10/10 Bethany Cox
ccthemovieman-1 "Don't be a spineless, weak-kneed, no-good nincompoop!" So reads the advertisement in the magazine our lethargic friend reads as collapses in his easy chair after a day of work. He fills out the coupon and in no time (literally) he receives his exercise equipment in the mail, guaranteed to make a new man out of him!He sets up the gym, gets into his Tarzan outfit and puts on a record which tells him how to proceed. He goes from heavy weightlifting to the horizontal bar for chin ups, to cable expanders for his latissimus dorsi muscles. All of these sequences are funny, particularly the last one.This is a solid cartoon, full of exaggerated happenings that evoke laughs.
overtheedge27 Goofy has always been my favorite Disney character ever since I was little. The excessive slapstick in his cartoons has always kept me in stitches. This cartoon has never failed to disappoint me. Typically, most Disney cartoons although funny, tend to be very slow paced and gentle for children's appeal, so even for a Goofy cartoon, the slapstick humor in this short laid very thick throughout. Almost to the point where Tex Avery himself probably would've been proud.The priceless scenes of Goofy constantly taking a beating, while very violent, is enough to ensue laughter for a very long time. Watching Goofy repeatedly crash into the ceiling and walls and doing that trademark yodeling scream of his, for some crazy reason, just never gets old.
