    		According to Disney A to Z, (Official Disney Encyclopedia) Goofy's original name was 'Dippy Dawg' then became 'Dippy the Goof' and finally 'Goofy.'

    		His original concept name was "Dippy Dawg" in cartoon shorts created during the 1930s; then his name was given as "George Geef" or "G.G. Geef" in cartoon shorts during the 1950s (implying that "Goofy" was a nickname).

    This is the least remembered and least recognized period for Disney. Post-Walt and Pre-Michael Eisner. But though nothing from this decade amounted to "Citizen Kane", many of the films were quite charming.

    3 Disney- Or Not?
    A great deal of wonderful animated movies have been made in the past few years that Walt Disney Studios have not always created and/or produced. Many other production companies have branched into kids' films. Can you tell Disney from non-Disney?
