Just Plain Goofy Trivia Quiz

Answer: Mickey's Service Station

"Mickey's Service Station" was directed by Ben Sharpsteen. Goofy, Mickey and Donald get separated from one another when they are supposed to perform a particular task assigned to them. The cartoon shows each of them trying to handle their own separate problems, which eventually lead to their becoming reunited and sharing in the success of their efforts.

Answer: fifteen

Goofy has maintained a multimedia status since 1933. He appeared in daily comic strips, with Mickey Mouse, as a neighbor and sometimes as an associate of Mickey's. Eventually the story lines for the comics became tiresome so artist Floyd Gottfredson and his team developed new adventures, mostly in the case of Goofy, that clearly defined the personalities of the characters. Over time, Mickey relied on both Donald and Goofy, in many cartoon situations, as his "boon" companions. Now, over seventy years later, Goofy is still unbelievably popular all over the world.

He appears in comic books and also in comic strips that are published in fourteen languages and in fifteen countries.

Answer: All are correct

Art Babbitt, the creator of Goofy, described Goofy as "a composite of an everlasting optimist, a gullible Good Samaritan, a halfwit and a shiftless, good-natured hick. He is loose-jointed and gangly, but not rubbery." He used such description in the mid to late 1930s when he taught classes at the Disney studios for up and coming animators.

Goofy was also described as fast moving but preferred to avoid any overexertion, by taking whichever easy way out of things that he could come up with. He was described as one who accepts things as being the best and also as amusing. Goofy was also described as one who loves to help everyone, but rarely completes a task at hand due to his bumbling nature. He is very easily distracted.

Answer: Distinct laugh

Pinto Colvig provided the voice and laugh of Goofy until 1965. He died of lung cancer on October 3, 1967, at the age of 75. Mr. Colvig also was known for doing the voice of "Bozo the Clown", the Practical Pig in "Three Little Pigs", the voices of Sleepy and Grumpy in "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" and the barks for "Pluto".

Others who took over the voice of Goofy included George Johnson, Bob Jackman, Hal Smith, Will Ryan, Tony Pope and Bill Farmer.

Answer: Kingdom Hearts

"Kingdom Hearts", first released in Japan on March 28, 2002 for the Sony Play Station 2, involves Goofy, who is equipped with only a shield to do battle. King Mickey and Queen Minnie disappear so Goofy and Donald set out on a quest to rescue them. Donald is actually the court magician and Goofy is the optimist, despite his antics and problems.

They meet a character named Sora and the three of them enter Timeless River. Eventually they do find the King and Queen and restore things back to normal.

Answer: They are all expressions by Goofy

"Hu-yuck!" is well known as the "Goofy" laugh. "Ahhhhh-hooo-hooo-hooo!" has been heard often as his yodel or Alpine yell. Goofy's simple-minded, yet quite bashful interjection "Gawrsh" has been heard throughout many cartoons with Goofy in it. He also has had a great signature song called, "The World Owes Me a Living" (sung or hummed in many wonderful cartoons).

In 1935, Goofy made his first appearance in "On Ice" singing "The World Owes Me a Living." Originally the Grasshopper's song, it was given to Goofy as an unofficial theme song, both vocally and instrumentally.

The song can still be heard by Goofy in the 1950s cartoon "Lion Down." Mr. Pinto Colvig did the characters of the Grasshopper and Goofy which was enough to adopt the song "The World Owes Me a Living" to Goofy's character.
