With having had a fun time watching the second of Disney's Goofy "Jungle" short films, (African Diary) I became very interested in seeing Goofy getting thrown into a Wild West setting.
The plot:
Heading out to a western state,Goofy and a group of fellow cowboy's journey in interrupted by a surprise attack from a gang of Indian's.Gathering up all of their weapons,Goofy and the cowboy soon discover that getting a grip on the Indian's may be much harder than it originally appeared.
View on the film:
Opening with a smart intro on the DVD to the movie by Leonard Maltin which focuses on the "controversial" appearance of the Indians in the film,the screenplay by Bill Peet takes a delightfully wild satirical swipe at the Western genre,with Peet filling the dialogue with dozens of double meanings,and also showing the Indian's to actually be far more skilled in battles,compared to Goofy and his gang of hopeless,fellow cowboy's.
Scattering sharp quick-witted sight gags across the entire movie,director Jack Kinney splashes bold, vivid all over the film,which along with giving the movie a freewheeling atmosphere,also makes the film a quick- draw winner.
