Californy 'er Bust is a 1945 Goofy short.
Synopsis[]
Goofy takes a covered wagon on the overland trail from Pennsylvania to California with other pioneers (Goofy lookalikes). They run into some Native Americans (who are also Goofy lookalikes and are called "pesky Redskins") and battle breaks out between them. Suddenly, a tornado comes by and sweeps up the covered wagons. It drops them into various states, whose names are modified possibly to make them sound more southern in a jocular way, such as Californy, Nebrasky, Florady, Pensavaney, Wash., Organ, Idyho, and Nevady.

Trivia[]
- The horn fanfare that was heard in this short was later recycled in Cinderella.
- The two horned Native dancers reappear in the 1953 short How to Dance, albeit recolored.
- The entrance of the Natives would be reused in "A Cowboy Needs a Horse".
- This episode does contain some racism towards Native Americans such as calling them redskins however the producers in the making claim that it's only done to make fun of the characters.
- This short is the source of a stock scream that would become associated with the 2023 independently developed game Pizza Tower. Said scream in particular is heard almost a minute near the end, when the Redskins start to charge after finding out that Goofy and his other pioneers have ran out of bullets.
