Featured review
Keep it flying
One of the first Goofy cartoons. It has the How to format with the narrator describing Goofy's attempts at flight.
There is no other supporting character, it's just Goofy with his inept attempts to take off and stay up.
The attempts at flight are inventive with Goofy trying various methods to take off, be it catapulting up and he always comes 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 it's a cartoon short, it remains inventive without running out of puff, as Goofy lives up to his name.
