Running time
Aquamania is an American animated Goofy cartoon produced by Walt Disney Productions and released by Buena Vista Distribution on December 20, 1961.[1]
This cartoon was the last from Disney's "Golden Era" which featured Goofy as a solo star, and the first time the xerography animation-technique was used in a Goofy cartoon. Aquamania combined Goofy's three familiar areas in his career: sports, fatherhood, and documentary-subject.
Plot
The story begins with a narrator explaining a case study of "aquamania" (obsession with boats and boating), with Goofy (called "Mr. X" in this short) as the subject. Then the story switches to Goofy and his son on a boating trip, inadvertently entering a water skiing race. In the process, Goofy meets up with an unfortunate octopus that joins him in the race, and they accidentally take an unwanted spin on a roller coaster at a waterside amusement park. Goofy eventually ends up winning the race.
Voice cast
- Pinto Colvig as Goofy (Mr. X)

- John Dehner as Narrator/Race announcer
