Goofy Movies Number Ten IMDb TMDB
actor: Pete Smith
This entry in the "whole show on one reel" series begins with a do-it-yourself overture for which the narrator asks the audience to hum any song they like. Next, the "Wotaphony Newsreel" shows clips of early experimental aircraft failing to fly. The "Added Attraction" is a clip of a bear jumping into a large fish tank and trying to catch the fish. Finally, the "Super Stupid Pictures" feature is a narrated silent film telling the life story of an ill-fated woman who was left on a doorstep as an infant, was taken advantage of by men for most of her life, and then came to a sad end after she had turned the tables on them.

Goofy Movies Number Three (1934)
Goofy Movies Number Three IMDb TMDB
actor: Pete Smith
This "complete show on one reel" starts with Super-Stupid Picture's "The Heel of a Nation", in which the narrator tells a humorous story while the audience sees scenes from a totally unrelated, unidentified silent movie. Then comes a "Wotaphony" newsreel. The last segment is a spoof of James A. FitzPatrick's Traveltalk series. We see a Pitts Fatrick Travel Squawk titled "A Visit to Schnozzle Isle." Schnozzle Isle is just off the coast of a Polynesian land which, when seen from the air, has a profile that looks remarkably (or perhaps not so remarkably) like 'Jimmy Durante' .
