Happy Birthday Goofy! 80 Years Young!

According to the Disney Insider website, "May 25 is an auspicious date because way back in 1932, a little cartoon appeared in America's movie theaters called 'Mickey's Revue.' It starred the already well-known and beloved Mickey Mouse, but there was an unfamiliar face in the audience watching Mickey. That face had long droopy ears, a protruding tooth, and looked, frankly ... goofy. Although he was originally known as Dippy Dawg, he came to be called Goofy and has been delighting audiences ever since. Whether we need a handy tutorial on how (not!) to ski or dance, or just a quick laugh, Goofy's our guy."

Happy 80th big fella!
