Aquamania

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Aquamania is a cartoon made by the Walt Disney Company in 1961. It was the last cartoon from Disney's Golden Era which featured Goofy as solo star. This cartoon basically combined Goofy's three familiar areas in his career together: sports, fatherhood, and documentary-subject. Here, the story starts out with a narrator explaining a case study of "aquamania" (obsession with boats and boating), with Goofy (still in his "George Geef" persona) as the subject. Then the story switches to Goofy and his son, "George Jr.", on a boating trip, and inadvertently entering a water skiing race. In the process, Goofy meets up with an unfortunate octopus that joins him in the race and they accidentally take an unwanted spin on a roller coaster at a waterside amusement park. But Goofy does win the race.
