This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Goofy was supposed to deliver a magician's suitcase onto an incoming train at the station, but accidentally drops it and out comes multiple animals from rabbits to bulls and from kangaroos to elephants - all that were supposed be part of the magician's bag of tricks.Goofy has a fine time dealing with the animals in trying to get them back into the suitcase, resulting in some funny slapstick moments. I also enjoyed the part where a tree quickly grows out of the suitcase and bumps into Goofy.The cartoon started off slow, with Goofy just chasing the rabbits around. But, when the other animals take the scene, the short got a little more exciting.Grade B-

With having been caught by surprise at Disney's second ever Goofy solo short title being the unofficial intro to the "How To" series of movies,I decided to take a look at Goofy's third solo title,to find out which direction the character would be taken in.The plot:With a train soon arriving,Goofy begins moving a number of items for the train to pick up.Actidentally dropping a box that belongs to a magician,Goofy quickly discovers that the contents of the box are stranger than anything he has seen before.View on the film:Leaving behind any signs of a plot within the first 30 seconds,director Jack Kinney takes the film into a brilliant Fantasy direction,with the contents of the magician's suitcase allowing the animation to become wild and vivid,as the film goes from Goofy's head turning into a gold fish bowl,to a weird,disappearing bull.Emphasising the Fantasy elements of the title,Leigh Harline's sharp score helps to create an enchanting atmosphere,as Goofy begins to discover that there may be no limit to how filled the magician's box can be.

Goofy has always been one of my favourite cartoon characters, being very funny and endearing. Baggage Buster is a very good and enjoyable cartoon. However I didn't care much for the scenes where Goofy is trying to get the animals inside the trunk, they got tiring eventually and actually slowed the short down. However, there are many other gags that do compensate, such as a bull popping up out of a handkerchief, a kangaroo appearing and starts punching Goofy, and a menagerie showing up out of nowhere, disappearing back into the trunk then it reappears and are very very funny. The end scene also raises a laugh. Apart from the scenes with trying to get the animals in the trunk, Baggage Buster is quickly paced, and benefits further from having beautiful animation and energetic music. The story may remind one of Donald's Ostrich, except Baggage Buster is much more entertaining as a whole. The trunk is prominently used and is used very, very well. Goofy is on top form, while he works better when we find something obvious but he doesn't he but the fact that he is easily distracted here, rather than getting easily frustrated like Donald, in his actions ensures that his characteristic clumsiness still convinces. All in all, very good but not my idea of an outstanding short. 8/10 Bethany Cox

This is a pretty good Goofy film from the early days--just after Goofy got his own series of cartoons. In this installment, you see a five-fingered version (a rarity) of Goofy working as a baggage handler for the railroad. There is a magician's trunk that needs to be loaded on the next train but this is easier said than done, as things from inside the trunk keep popping out and make the job practically impossible. At first, it's the expected magician's top hat and rabbits but later the menagerie gets pretty weird and definitely taxes Goofy's talents to the max.The cartoon is the same beautiful quality you'd expect from this era and the whole thing is quite fun. While not among the best Goofy films, this is solid fun from start to finish.
