Comments

From Ryan : Here is another short with Goofy and his son. This time they are camping up in the mountains and have a run-in with Louie the mountain lion. There is a small scene where Goofy shoots at the mountain lion that is censored when shown on the Disney Channel/Toon Disney. It goes from the scene of Goofy and his son searching around a tree to a scene where the mountain lion lands on Goofy and the tree has been damaged; an example of Disney's tendency to go overboard with their censorship. This is a humorous cartoon that I enjoy watching frequently.

From Baruch Weiss : One of my favorite parts in this cartoon is where Goofy and his son are driving and Goofy recalls his past adventures which were scenes taken from previously released Goofy cartoons from 1945 titled "Californy 'er Bust" "Tiger Trouble" and "African Diary". I allso enjoy the ending where he asked his kid "Did I ever tell you about the time I was a race driver?"

I have seen "Father's Lion" and would like to
