Aquamania
Aquamania is an American animated short film produced by Walt [Disney Animation Studios|Walt Disney Productions] and released by Walt [Disney Studios Motion Pictures|Buena Vista Distribution] on December 20, 1961.
This cartoon was the last from Disney's "Golden Era" which featured Goofy as a solo star, and the first time the xerography animation-technique was used in a Goofy cartoon. Aquamania combined Goofy's three familiar areas in his career: sports, fatherhood, and documentary-subject.
Plot
The story begins with a narrator explaining a case study of "aquamania", with Goofy as the subject. Then the story switches to Goofy and his son on a boating trip, inadvertently entering a water skiing race. In the process, Goofy meets up with an unfortunate octopus that joins him in the race, and they accidentally take an unwanted spin on a roller coaster at a waterside amusement park. Goofy eventually ends up winning the race.Voice cast
