Has anyone else noticed that donald and goofy dont seem like they were in the cartoons? I mean goofy was a bit more similar to his original form in country of the musketeers but that was about it. goofy gets words mixed up and donald gets angry and people laugh about it. Thats about it. I mean goofy doesnt firetruck up everything and is one of the smarter characters. what do you think?

I honestly prefer them this way.

 

I never got into the classic Disney shorts so I never cared about Donald, Goofy, or even Mickey at the time.  Then I saw them in KH giving Sora a hand and making significant contributions, and my opinion towards them changed.  That's not to say it made me like the classic shorts, but much of their core personalities are intact while making them applicable to a relatively more serious, fantasy world.  I'd say it's a nice balance.

That's understandable.  I'm not a gigantic Disney buff.  I'm only a fan of a few of its movies, I've only caught a few episodes of Goof Troop, and I liked the Goofy movies.  But, I still appreciate Disney's contribution to KH, and I'm glad it's given me incarnations of Donald and Goofy that I legitimately enjoy.

I agree, and I watched some of the shorts as a kid. I find the "Smart Goofy" funnier than he was in some of the older cartoons and shorts.
