Taking a look at the first DVD of Disney's stunning "The Complete Goofy Shorts Collection",I was surprised to discover,that the final 2 pages of titles on the first DVD did not contain a single "The Art of" movie,which led to me excitingly getting ready to witness Goofy head off in a new direction.The plot:Staying close to his trusty elephant,Goofy starts to go deep into the jungle,as he goes on a search for a mythical Bengali Tiger.View on the film:Unlike all of the previous Goofy short movies,the film opens with a 10 second opening credits list,which along with showing that people were finally getting the credit they deserved in Hollywood,also seems to have given the film makers a real burst of life.Opening by showing Goofy head into his jungle adventure,director Jack Kinney gives the animation an extraordinary,lush appearance,which along with being backed by a bouncing score from Paul J. Smith,is also given an added sense of freshness by Bill Peet ping-pong like slap-stick script.

I have always loved the Goofy cartoons. I especially love Motor Mania, The Big Wash, Goofy Gymnastics and How to Dance. Tiger Trouble is not one of my favourites of his, but it is typically enjoyable. Goofy is good here, suitably clumsy and lovable, but this is probably the first cartoon I've seen of his where he is overshadowed by the supporting characters. Here they are Dolores, the scene-stealing elephant from The Big Wash and Working for Peanuts, who is very sweet and very funny especially as she sits up prim and proper to eat the picnic and her rhythmic tiger tracking, and the tiger, who while looking more like a Snaggletooth sort of tiger rather than a Shere Kahn sort of tiger plays off against Goofy wonderfully, his best moments being when he loses his stripes and when he drags Goofy into the bushes. The chase through the jungle is also very thrilling. The animation is always bright and colourful, with some of the more detailed backgrounds of any Goofy cartoon, and the music has its usual energy especially when Goofy is trapped in the den and the jungle chase, sounding very much like themes from Cured Duck and Rugged Bear. I also liked that Goofy interacts with Dolores and the tiger instead of the narrator or the audience, that was an interesting change of pace, and the vocal/sound effects prove to be very creative in the case of the tiger's roaring and Goofy's yelling. All in all, a fun and very amusing cartoon. 9/10 Bethany Cox

Just discovered this Disney Goofy cartoon on the Cartoonz for U blog as linked from Daily Motion. The Goof and his elephant are in the jungle hunting. After stopping for a picnic, the tiger finds his prey. A big chase ensues with plenty of funny gags throughout as well as a narrator during the whole thing. Directed by Jack Kinney with a story by Bill Peet, Tiger Trouble is quite funny from beginning to end. Walt himself was worried about how the tiger's stripe would look animated but he must have loved the results especially toward the end. The animator Milt Kahl would eventually also animate the ferocious Shere Kahn in Mr. Disney's last movie, The Jungle Book. So with all that said, I highly recommend Tiger Trouble.
