Definitely a good collection to get if you haven’t seen a Goofy short. Includes some of his best, the “How to” series. All the shorts in this collection are also on the Walt Disney Treasures “The Complete Goofy” set, so don’t purchase this if you already have that.

I bought this DVD for my two year old twin girls who absolutely love Disney charachters. I was amazed at how much I liked the movies myself as well. It brought me back to my early childhood when my brother and I watched all of these same types of movies.
This Goofy DVD has some real great classics as well as a couple of not so well known cartoons; all of which are fun and entertaining for children of all ages. The sound quality and picture quality are great.

Every volume in this series has only a small number of cartoons on each disc (about 9 each). They are excellent cartoons, but the small number of cartoons leaves you wanting for more.
