The story

What Is Goofy’s Glider About?

The premise of Goofy’s Glider without spoilers.

In typical Goofy fashion, he “simplifies” gliding by launching a flimsy glider from a massive catapult and even a cannon, promising an easy sport. Of course, Goofy can’t steer the craft, and his chaotic descent ends in a spectacular, over‑the‑top crash that even a bombshell would find messy.
