MartinHafer If only all the old Goofy cartoon shorts were this funny! This is a modern version of the old Walt Disney films that featured Goofy illustrating how to do something. Decades ago, Goofy starred in many films like this--including ones on driving or skiing. But this one's crazy sensibilities beat the old ones--like they infused the old cartoons with crack.The film consists of Goofy buying every possible expensive TV accessory--a screen as big as a movie theater's, DVD, Blueray and a zillion other expensive and not exactly necessary things. He buys them from what appears to be a Best Buy-type store and the whole thing is wildly confusing and strange. And, when it's all finished, Goofy is stuck with a zillion remote controls! Overall, fantastic animation quality, great writing and a zaniness that you will love--hopefully this is a sign of yet more to come.

djhasti Since viewing the Disney animated short "How to Hook Up Your Home Theater" at a screening of National Treasure 2, I have wanted to say THANKS to the Disney people who made this possible. Talk about a faithful return to their roots! Disney did a marvelous job of capturing the magic, the humor, the timing, and the same light-hearted feeling that the old shorts had. And yet it was up-to-date with the subject matter. I was taken back to my youthful memories of the classic Disney cartoons. Goofy is my favorite character, but we could use new exploits of Donald, Mickey and Pluto, even Uncle Scrooge. So my last comment is: Please make more!

steve-bailey-1 What a treat to go to "National Treasure 2" (itself an escapist ecstasy) and find this brand-spanking-new Disney short preceding it. A beautifully done addition to the countless "How to" Disney cartoons in which The Goof starred in his heyday, it shows that a quarter-century after their creation, the Disney cartoon characters still have lifeblood (and adrenaline) in them.An absolute hoot, the cartoon depicts Goofy jonesing for a full-screen TV to watch football games, and thus entering a Best Buy-like, all-encompassing electronics store. From there, the laughs only come more quickly.I hope this inspires The Disney Co. to reprise a regular series of cartoon shorts, as the Warner Bros. group briefly did in the 1990's with a too-short but delightful series of Bugs Bunny and Road Runner cartoons. If you make 'em, we'll still watch 'em!!

cshighland We saw this short before National Treasure Book of Secrets. To be honest, we enjoyed the short as much or more than that film (and it was a good film!) The short is a throw-back to Disney's old "How to" films of the 50s and 60s starring Goofy and despite modern advances (paperless animation, subject matter), it fits perfectly into the genre. Same style animation, same absurd situations, same old Goofy... and I mean that in the best way.For us, though, the short is wonderful because of it's take on Home Theater and Installation. Both my husband and I work for a professional A/V integrator and we work with this stuff every day. Watching Goofy tackle our world in his own inimitable way, we literally cried from laughing so hard.From knowing which components to buy at "Shiny Stuff," to waiting for delivery between 8 and 5, to dealing with way too many cables and way too many speakers, to the Almighty Holy Universal Remote, Goofy's experiences reflect Everyman's experiences with this new technology (and highlight some of the best and worst of our industry, particularly in the residential market).In short (no pun intended), this new Disney short is priceless. Bravo, Disney!
