This nice "Goofy" cartoon, appears a little out of continuity for those familiar with "Goof Troop" as Max seems even younger than he was when he and Goofy first moved to Spoonerville as depicted in the series. Anyhow, there is a nice contrast between Mr. Pete and the neighbor on the other side of Goofy's house, making the Goofs live between the "Needy" and the "Greedy". Goofy was wonderful, Max was bright and kept the story pace going well. It was odd that Pete is depicted as "gray-haired" in this toon and returned to being "black-haired" in the Mickey one? I wished my favorite "Goof Troop" character was there, tho: Peg! Peg, P.J. Pistol and even Waffles and Chainsaw were NOT in this short, so aside from Pete living next door, there was no other real link to "Goof Troop." This short proved that Goofy has a heart of gold, even if it is a bit gullible at times. I give this one a 10. This cartoon and the preview for "An Extremely Goofy Movie" (the sequel to "A Goofy Movie") make me very anxious for the video release of the new Goofy movie.

I saw that on Toon Disney part of Mickey's Once upon a Christmas. Man, that looks like a holiday episode with Goofy and Young Max in a christmas moment discovering that if Santa Claus was real or not. I'll keep watching it for holidays to come.

This is one of the best Christmas shorts I ever loved. I like how Goofy and Max thought there was a Santa Claus and they show Father and Son relationship together.
