Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good

Siflutter It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

Keira Brennan The movie is made so realistic it has a lot of that WoW feeling at the right moments and never tooo over the top. the suspense is done so well and the emotion is felt. Very well put together with the music and all.

TheLittleSongbird Disney have many classics under its belt, shorts and feature films, and Goofy- the funniest and most well developed of the popular re-occurring characters- has been in some of them. Aquamania is interesting for the use of Xeroroxing(the first use of it in a Disney short) and that it was Goofy's first short since 1953. However, while watchable it's not up there with the classics. The animation is not very appealing here, the Xeroroxing technique worked very well in the 1960s feature films but here it was such a departure from the usual Goofy animation style that if it weren't for Goofy being in it and the documentation format that the How to...series adopted you wouldn't be sure whether it was a Goofy short or not. Instead of bright, colourful and bouncy, it is rather flat, scratchy and not as careful. The story doesn't generate that much spark, it is rather routine and not as crisply paced and doesn't quite seem to sustain its 8 minutes(or so) length. And there does seem to be too much of a re-hash feel to it, yes. The music is lively and characterful with luscious orchestration and a great ability to be in sync with the gags and such. The documentary-like narration entertains and teaches, still delighting in how Goofy manages to do the opposite of what the narrator is saying, it's a very familiar format but one that works. The gags are at least amusing if not particularly exceptional, Goofy is still a likable and funny character and the vocals are done with enthusiasm at least though they've had more inspired material. In conclusion, disappointing for Goofy but as an overall short it is still watchable. 6/10 Bethany Cox

Seth Nelson This is one of Disney's later animated short cartoons, featuring Goofy!!!!! "Aquamania" was released back in 1961 (Now that's late!), and it's a very good short. It's been a while since seeing it, but I do remember a part where Goofy was trying to get a boat into the water!!!!! Good stuff!!!!!I've seen this first on VHS back in the early 90s (it was green and had sports shorts on the tape) because they didn't have my usual red "Fun on the Job" tape. Then I've seen this on the Old Disney Channel as a short by itself and on "Walt Disney Presents" (the part where that scientific duck (Is it Prof. Von Drake?) puts a little water on a microscope slide and we see boats shooting across the slide was seen before the cartoon started)."Aquamania" - good short, good times!!!!!10/10

Robert Reynolds This cartoon, nominated for an Oscar, is one of the sports-oriented cartons Disney made featuring that graceful soul, Goofy. While this is a good cartoon and is well worth seeking out, there truly isn't anything exceptionally special about this cartoon. It is typical of the series-a narrator talks about the actions, and the consequences rising from those actions, of your "average man" (Goofy) while Goofy goes through sight gag after sight gag. This runs on The Ink and Paint Club periodically. Recommended.

Coolguy-7 I recently saw this short on the Disney Channel. It features Goofy and his son, who I don't know the name of. In the short, Goofy and his son plan to go boating on a peaceful sunny day in the ocean, but end up getting involved in a crazy boat race and not to mention a run in with an octopus. I thought this cartoon was one of Goofy's greatest hits and possibly the last of his greatest as he would appear on the children's show "Goof Troop", which is just plain boring (although I liked it as a kid). This short will make people of all ages laugh.
