    A "No fishin" sign isn't going to stop "Goofy" and his grasshopper pal "Wilbur" from trying to catch some fish! The latter critter is the bait to lure the fish to their doom and at first, things seem to be going to plan - but for how long before the fish decide to turn tails on the dog and his increasingly cocky little friend? There's some good animated, all-action, synchronicity here with the increasingly menacing fish, the cheeky bug and even an hungry frog. "Goofy" shares the limelight a bit more than usual with the characters in what's a more substantial and entertainingly scored story, too.
