    Un proyecto de LASDAOALPLAY? — www.lasdaoalplay.com Escrito por: Francesc Marí Editado en: Barcelona, mayo 2017 Con el apoyo de: Simplemente… Goofy y todo su contenido escrito está bajo una licencia de Creative Commons Reconocimiento-No Comercial-Compartir bajo la misma licencia 4.0 PRESENTACION Walt Disney y todo su mundo de animación ha sido estudiado en detalle, tanto durante la vida de su creador como tras su muerte. Se ha hablado de los Clásicos de Disney, de las película de acción real y, sobre todo, de Mickey Mouse, por lo que podríamos decir que no hay nada que haya pasado por alto… ¿Seguro? Si nos fijamos —algo que un servidor ha hecho cuando buscaba documentación para este libro—, descubriremos que si bien Mickey y Donald han sido analizados al milímetro, así como todo lo que rodea a los Studios Disney, siempre existirá un gran olvidado, y ese no es otro que Goofy. A pesar de formar parte, junto con el ratón y el pato más famosos del mundo, del triunvirato de Disney, de protagonizar decenas de cortometrajes, de ser el único en tener dos largometrajes en solitario en su haber, Goofy se ha convertido en el comparsa de sus amigos. En la mayoría de casos, cuando alguien habla de Goofy, es porque antes ha hablado de Mickey o de Disney en general, e, incluso, en el último de estos casos, muchas veces, Goofy queda agrupado bajo la denominación de «la pandilla de Mickey». En realidad son pocos los libros que hablen exclusivamente de Goofy. Para ser sinceros, solamente he encontrado uno en inglés, el extraordinario volumen, Walt Disney’s Goofy: The Good Sport de Flora O’Brian, publicado en 1986, en el que se hace un repaso exhaustivo al personaje y su proceso creativo.
