Goofy Goat Antics (1931, 7:50) is a black and white print of an originally two-strip Technicolor short – sometimes credited as the first sound/color cartoon – and a clear attempt by producer Ted Eshbaugh to launch a series character. Easily the most fully rounded “cartoon” in this collection, it was also known as Goofy Goat Antics in later rental release (from which this print derives) when it must have become obvious that no further Goat cartoons would be forthcoming. That’s a shame, since Goofy Goat seems to have a playful sense of humor (“Get out of the way, you road hog”, he yells to a pig passenger in the car in front) and Eshbaugh comes up with some very amusing business. The format of the short allows for several different settings and what would have been effects moments to show off the color, in which this would be fantastic to see, though the lack of this doesn’t take anything away from the enjoyment and this is probably my favorite of the titles included here.
