Goofy's back in "Disney Presents Goofy in How to Stay at Home," a trio of all-new, hand-drawn animated shorts from Walt Disney Animation Studios. In these new shorts from acclaimed master animator/director Eric Goldberg ("Aladdin," "Pocahontas," "Fantasia/2000," "Moana") and Emmy(R)-winning producer Dorothy McKim ("Meet the Robinsons," "Prep & Landing," "Get a Horse!"), Goofy - the clumsy, charismatic and lovable Disney "everyman" character who has entertained audiences since his screen debut in 1932 - demonstrates how to make the best of challenging situations. Bill Farmer, the voice of Goofy since 1987, provides the familiar vocals for the character, and versatile actor, Corey Burton, is heard as the narrator. "Disney Presents Goofy in How to Stay at Home" from Walt Disney Animation Studios streams August 11 on Disney+.
