Goofy's HOW TO series explained+Any similarities to MR. BEAN are virtually nil

In 1937, voice actor PINTO COLVIG had a falling out with the DISNEY company and left the studio to work with FLEISCHER STUDIOS in MIAMI, FLORIDA.

This abrupt departure left GOOFY without a voice for quite a while.

While other actors like DANNY WEBB would briefly take over, this caused issues within the company since GOOFY isn't really GOOFY without PINTO COLVIG's performance.

Then JACK KINNEY had a brilliant idea:

KINNEY decided to bring in CANADIAN-AMERICAN actor JOHN MCLEISH to provide narrations for a series of cartoons starring GOOFY.

MCLEISH was not new to DISNEY fans as we've heard his voice in the opening THUNDERSTORM scene of DUMBO.

The staff realized that MCLEISH's voice would be perfect for a series of cartoons where GOOFY would struggle to perform simple tasks due to his bumbling nature, all while a narrator explains the situation to the audience.

This would give rise to the.....

well.... it gave rise to the HOW-TO-SERIES of cartoons.

The idea like I said is that GOOFY has to perform simple tasks as the title of the cartoon would insinuate.

But that sounds easier said than done because GOOFY is somewhat of a bumbling idiot.

But since GOOFY would be left without a voice for a while, barring exceptions where he's voiced by a sound-alike,

The main voice is a disembodied Narrator who provides a verbal description of what the heck is going on in ANYTOWN, USA.

In the later years, a similar concept was developed by a fellow BRITISH comedian by the name of ROWAN ATKINSON

Yup.

But even though MR. BEAN was not inspired by the DISNEY HOW TO SHORTS as MR. BEAN was actually inspired by a FRENCH comedy called MONSEIUR HULOT,

Them two series share a similar premise:

Bumbling Adult Men try to perform simple tasks.

But the difference is that GOOFY is BUMBLING as per his nature.

While MR. BEAN is actually a smart fellow but the reason for his actions is because He'd rather improvise problem solving so that it suits his needs

Another difference is that while GOOFY has JOHN MCLEISH to back him up,

MR. BEAN instead has a SITCOM LAUGH TRACK to cue laughter from the audience.

No, this is not a CLASH post.

Had this been a clash post, it would have a title like CLASH OF BUMBLING IDIOTS at the title.

But I didn't intend this post to be a CLASH post anyway.

But if you want me to consider it, then let me know on the comments but then I'll have to come up with a better title than what I wrote above.
