Movie Connections:

Spoofed in Bad Taste (1987)

An okay cartoon

In this short Mickey, Donald and Goofy are living a sort of Gypsy lifestyle, moving from place to place in their caravan. Goofy is the driver and when breakfast is served he leaves the car driving on it's own and goes back into the caravan to eat. Well, you pretty much know what's going to happen now huh? That's right...disaster.

Disaster seems to follow these characters everywhere and their cartoons only ever seem to be made up of it. However, some of the contraptions and near-misses in this one are quite imaginative and bring a tiny bit of something new to something old and increasingly boring. Expect only a few mild laughs.
