Perry Kate Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Actuakers One of my all time favorites.

filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Prismark10 One of the first Goofy cartoons it also has the How to format with the narrator describing Goofy's attempt at flight.There is no other supporting character, its just Goofy with his inept attempts to take off stay up.The attempts at flight are inventive with Goofy trying various methods to take off be it catapulting up and he always becomes unstuck.The best vignette is when he does take off he flies upside down so the sky is beneath him and the ground above him.As its a cartoon short, it remains inventive without running out of puff, whilst Goofy lives up to his name.

TheLittleSongbird I do like Goofy, although I do have more of a soft spot for Mickey and Donald. I really like Goofy's Glider, it was one of my first Goofy cartoons and it is still one of the better ones to me. It is not exceptional story-wise, but it is animated beautifully, vibrant and fluid as animation should be, and the music is energetic and dynamic. The narration(in the how to format that features in a number of Goofy's cartoons) is cleverly written and thoughtfully delivered by John McLeish, and the sight gags and Goofy's antics(revolving around his clumsiness and doing everything wrong) evoke a lot of great chuckles.All in all, a cartoon that is definitely worth watching. 9/10 Bethany Cox

MartinHafer During the 1940s, 50s and 60s, the Disney folks made a ton of "how to" cartoons that starred Goofy. Some of them, such as GOOFY'S GLIDER, were great and some, the preachier ones from the later era, were less than great (I'm trying to be kind here--cut me some slack). Well, the granddaddy of them all also happens to be GOOFY'S GLIDER, as it was the first of this type film.Like the other "how to" cartoons, this one features a narrator who talks about the best way to do things--at which time Goofy proceeds to do it completely wrong! Again and again, Goofy nearly kills himself by, as usual, not using what little brain he has. Seeing Goofy tumble from the sky and smash into the ground and THEN open his parachute is one of the many ways this indestructible goof entertains in this cute and not at all informative film.If you see this and don't laugh, check your pulse--you might just be dead! It's funny, well animated and fun.By the way, although Goofy and most characters have only four fingers (because it's easier to animate), in this one he briefly has five! One scene calls for him to count and he had five, but if you watch before and after in this same film he only has four! I guess he can grow and lose them as needed.

Ron Oliver A Walt Disney GOOFY Cartoon.The most dangerous place in the air may well be GOOFY'S GLIDER.There are plenty of chuckles in this the first of the Sports Goofy cartoons. Some pertinent information about gliders is actually given in between the Goof's attempts to get airborne. John McLeish narrates in his best documentarian manner.Walt Disney (1901-1966) was always intrigued by pictures & drawings. As a lad in Marceline, Missouri, he sketched farm animals on scraps of paper; later, as an ambulance driver in France during the First World War, he drew comic figures on the sides of his vehicle. Back in Kansas City, along with artist Ub Iwerks, Walt developed a primitive animation studio that provided animated commercials and tiny cartoons for the local movie theaters. Always the innovator, his ALICE IN CARTOONLAND series broke ground in placing a live figure in a cartoon universe. Business reversals sent Disney & Iwerks to Hollywood in 1923, where Walt's older brother Roy became his lifelong business manager & counselor. When a mildly successful series with Oswald The Lucky Rabbit was snatched away by the distributor, the character of Mickey Mouse sprung into Walt's imagination, ensuring Disney's immortality. The happy arrival of sound technology made Mickey's screen debut, STEAMBOAT WILLIE (1928), a tremendous audience success with its use of synchronized music. The SILLY SYMPHONIES soon appeared, and Walt's growing crew of marvelously talented animators were quickly conquering new territory with full color, illusions of depth and radical advancements in personality development, an arena in which Walt's genius was unbeatable. Mickey's feisty, naughty behavior had captured millions of fans, but he was soon to be joined by other animated companions: temperamental Donald Duck, intellectually-challenged Goofy and energetic Pluto. All this was in preparation for Walt's grandest dream - feature length animated films. Against a storm of naysayers, Walt persevered and over the next decades delighted children of all ages with the adventures of Snow White, Pinocchio, Dumbo, Bambi & Peter Pan. Walt never forgot that his fortunes were all started by a mouse, or that childlike simplicity of message and lots of hard work always pay off.
