50. How to Hook Up Your Home Theater (2007)

(2007) In his first theatrical appearance in nearly 50 years, Disney has brought back Goofy for an all new animated short.

Prelude's rating:

Goofy was a character in Disney's Mickey Mouse animated shorts from as early back as 1932. But over the years he gained popularity and got more screen time, thanks in large part to Hawaiian Holiday and The Clock Cleaners, two Mickey Mouse cartoons from 1937. The following year, in 1938, Goofy appeared without Mickey for the first time, in two Donald Duck & Goofy animated shorts, Polar Trappers and The Fox Hunt. It wasn't until 1939 that Goofy finally landed his own starring role, in 'Goofy and Wilbur'.
