This cartoon had a very negative view on how I felt about cellulite. As a child, I struggled when I heard the word fat, feeling like there was nothing good about it.
From the age of 5 till about 10, I had seen quite a few things about weight portrayed in a horrible light. This cartoon did not help that image.
There were several scenes from this short that stuck with me. Goofy deflating the car tires, grounding the elevator, and his stomach growling like a dog. He tightens his belt to suppress his hunger, only to watch in horror as it busts lose, his gut now whimpering like a frightened pup.
The harshest thing about this was the fact that Goofy's reflection talked negatively to him instead of giving him encouragement. I believe this may well be Goofy's conscious telling him to improve his lifestyle. However, it doesn't seem to work very well and at the end of the cartoon. Goofy's reflection has now eaten all the food. So if this is indeed Goof's conscious, he has taken a turn for the worse and will continue his gluttonous ways.
This cartoon would probably be more funny to me now than a while back. Some of the scenes are just overblown. I will come back later to clean up my review and give a final score for this.
