'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.

Synopsis



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 scenesone involving a waiter, the other the drunken horseare 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!'

* Goopy bears some resemblance to Disney's (unnamed at the time) Goofy who first came along 39 days later.
