Goopy Geer is a 1932 Warner Bros. Merrie Melodies cartoon short directed by Rudolf Ising, featuring the first appearance of the title character. The short was released on April 16, 1932, alongside the feature film The Crowd Roars.

Synopsis

Файл:Goopy Geer (1932) (restored HD version).webm

The short from 1932, restored.

The customers in a nightclub clamor for Goopy Geer, who then comes out on the stage and entertains them by playing the piano, first with his fingers and his ears, later with his animated gloves. He's soon accompanied by a girl who tells a joke and sings a song.

Meanwhile, the customers eat and carry on in slapstick ways, and two coat racks dance together.

Toward the end, a drunken horse spits fire and destroys the piano, but Goopy keeps right on playing.

Notes

• Two scenes—one involving a waiter, the other the drunken horse—are reused from the earlier Foxy short Lady, Play Your Mandolin! Also, one of the customers, a fat lady hippo, had also appeared in a Foxy short, Smile, Darn Ya, Smile!

Reception

Motion Picture Herald called the film "an amusing cartoon number." The review noted that "the furniture does its assorted jigging in a manner often done before, but the short is entertaining enough in animated fashion."
