Setting: Around Town
Plot: When Goofy LITERALLY falls apart, it’s up to Mickey and Donald to put him back together again.

Short Stuff

With its montage, corny music, and freeze-frame ending; the short seems to be channeling TV/movies from the late 70s, early 80s.

Final Grade: C+
The idea of Goofy falling apart like Humpty Dumpty, leaving Mickey and Donald to put him back together again with glue and tape is not appealing to me. I get the whole absurdist, slapsticky nature of it all but it just feels grotesque. It’s just devoid of any real humour or sense of irony. By virtue of how little I actually wrote about, it’s fair to say that this isn’t the series’ most creative offering.
