Comments

From Janet Heimer : Watching the scene where the natives are eating can really make a person hungry. So if you're on a diet, I suggest that you not look at that scene while watching this short.

From Ryan : This is one of my favorite Goofy cartoons. Goofy sits at his office, but wishes he were on a tropical island. He soon finds himself daydreaming about it. I enjoy some of the fun gags such as Goofy using a shopping cart made out of bamboo and buying turtle eggs. The natives are eating various types of foods they enjoy such as shark fin soup (which shows a shark's fin circling around the bowl)and bread from the breadtree(this gag reminds me of the bread and butterfly gag from the movie "Alice in Wonderland"). This short also reminds me of a Garfield special I have seen called "Garfield in Paradise," especially when Goofy is being taken up to the volcano to be sacrificed to the gods.

From Jacob : Just after the narrator says, "Geef knew the friendly natives wouldn't throw him into the volcano - but they did.", the Goofy holler with the quote "Aloha" can be heard. I also saw a deleted scene with a native blowing a shell saying "Come and get it!".

From Baruch Weiss : This is my favorite Gofy cartoon. In fact, anybody who gets stressed should watch this short. It is like having a vacation right in your own home! I enjoy the scene where Goofy is watching a hula dancer. That scene was later used in the Goofy cartoon "How to Dance", but without Goofy. He was edited out of the cartoon so the viewer can only see the hula dancer. Anyway, I enjoyed this classic short, I wonder if it inspired the movie "Lilo and Stich"?

From Laura Cross : I enjoy this film as well. My favorite scene is when a native blows a trumpet that says "Come and get it." This is too cute. I also like the scene where, when Goofy gets fired, he loses his temper and writes, "I quit!"

I have seen "Hello Aloha" and would like to
