Trivia[]
- When the film in which Goofy stars begins, it uses the 1990 Walt Disney Pictures logo.
- The silent cartoon Goofy stars in, Steamboat Goofy, is a parody of Mickey's debut cartoon, Steamboat Willie, released in 1928.
- Ironically, Goofy's steamboat crashes into Mickey's from the same short, causing Goofy's boat to sink.
- Despite the fact that Steamboat Goofy is referred to as a silent cartoon, the opening credits refer to it as a sound cartoon, and the cartoon itself has sound.
- Running Gag:
- Goofy being hit by a flashlight by Clarabelle several times.
