Goofy Gymnastics is aGoofycartoon produced byWalt Disney Productions and released byRKO Radio Pictures on September 23, 1949.[1]
Goofy enters home tired after a hard day at work. Exhausted, he suddenly notices an exercise advertisement in his newspaper. He ordersgymnastics equipment and with the aid of an instruction record he tries out using thebarbells, thechin-up bars and cable expanders, all of which meet with disastrous results.Goofy destroys the floors of his apartment in the process and flies out of the window before he is swung back against the muscular chart of his equipment. While he stands behind the cardboard muscular man he is glad that he finally resembles a muscular man.
Goofy Gymnastics is one of Goofy's most popular and famous cartoons. The cartoon is also shown inWho Framed Roger Rabbit (1988) during the scene where Roger and Eddie hide in acinema.Roger Rabbit laughs out loud with the cartoon, praises Goofy's timing and finesse and claims he is a "genius". However, this is ananachronism, sinceWho Framed Roger Rabbit is set in 1947, whileGoofy Gymnastics was released in 1949. This cartoon was also shown in September 2002 as part of the "Salute to Sports" episode ofHouse of Mouse.
The short was released on December 2, 2002, onWalt Disney Treasures: The Complete Goofy[3] and on the "Walt Disney's Classic Cartoon Favorites Extreme Sports Fun" Volume 5. It was released toDisney+ on July 7, 2023.[4]
