An action-packed slog
An absolute waste of money
a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.
View MoreI didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.
View MoreGoofy seems to have a lot of these stories where the plot in his cartoons are experimental. In this case, Goofy, identified as a character named George Geef, goes through overweight challenges, as highlighted in a somewhat hilarious way in this cartoon (which would not be very PC nowadays).This cartoon is more like a mini-documentary than an animated story. Not much laughs in this one and Goofy does not speak in his iconic voice. It's not an awful cartoon, just a little mediocre.Grade C+
View MoreGoofy opens up the cartoon by eating a whole table of food in a few seconds. His reflection tells him he's too fat and he gets new clothes. When he gets in the taxi, the tires deflate, the elevator won't go up, and he falls off his chair. His reflection tells him not to eat, but he reads a book with food, tempting to eat even more. The EAT, EAT, EAT, repeatedly is pretty scary at first. Goofy goes to bed but he wakes up wanting to eat, but his reflection ate all the food in the fridge.I only like Goofy shorts from Disney, I never watch Mickey or his other friends, they just aren't that funny as the Warner Bros. characters.10/10
View MoreThe play on words in the title of this 6.5-minute cartoon already says what this one is about: losing weight. Weight Watchers in the 1950s as this one is already 65 years old, was made only half a decade after World War II and it is one of many Goofy "how to" videos. I must say I like these, they are always funny I think. This one here is probably not among the best or the worst, so it meets the high standards without exuding greatness. Pinto Colvig, however, is as great as always and his voice could not fit Goofy any better. Maybe they actually could have made some of the food jokes a bit funnier, but it's still pretty entertaining. I do recommend the watch. Thumbs up for Goofy and this little film.
View MoreDisney have some classic shorts under their belt, and some feature Goofy, to date still one of their funniest and most likable characters. Goofy still is his appealing everyman and loveably clumsy self, and does it so naturally, though while this is a fun scenario and done remarkably well it isn't the best one to show Goofy at his very best(where he is clumsy and lovable for it, or making situations harder than they actually are that isn't obvious to him but is to the audience). Tomorrow We Diet! is still a hoot though, the gags are clever and genuinely funny and we are also taught things in a way that's fun and not in a way that we are talked down to. Especially seeing as weight and dieting are sensitive issues and are still relevant today. The animation is colourful and vibrantly shaded, with a lot of attention to detail and beautiful drawing too. The visuals of the food and the contents of the cook book are done in such a way that they are too good to eat or give you the urge to do so. The music sounds great with catchy themes and jaunty orchestration, it has bags of energy and does well with enhancing the action. All in all, colourful and entertaining, not Goofy at his very best but relevant and difficult to resist. 9/10 Bethany Cox
