Newspapers
A newspaper is a periodical publication containing written information about current events and is often typed in black ink with a white or gray background. Newspapers can cover a wide variety of fields such as politics, business, sports and art, and often include materials such as opinion columns, weather forecasts, reviews of local services, obituaries, birth notices, crosswords, editorial cartoons, comic strips, and advice columns.

The Art Of Skiing
''The Art of Skiing'' is a Goofy cartoon made by Walt Disney Productions in 1941. It has historical significance as the first cartoon to use the now-famous Goofy holler, as well as the short that led to the "How to..." series, beginning with ''How to Play Baseball'' (1942) and continuing through ''How to Hook Up Your Home Theater'' (2007). Notes Goofy goes to Sugar Bowl Ski Resort, to learn how to ski. The name of the resort can be seen in the opening frames of the cartoon. Sugar Bowl Ski Resort was used because Walt Disney had an interest in the Sugar Bowl ski area, to the extent that one of the peaks at Sugar Bowl is named Mt. Disney after him. The narrator and the opening titles mention an alternate (and obscure) pronunciation of skiing as ''shee-ing'', despite the narrator mostly pronouncing it vice versa throughout the short. Another Goofy cartoon featured Goofy himself mentioning this to an Ancient Greek. This was the first cartoon to use the signature Goofy holler; ...

The Art Of Self Defense (1941 Film)
''The Art of Self Defense'' is a cartoon made by the Walt Disney Company in 1941, featuring Goofy. Plot After a brief history on the many different forms of manly arts through the years, from early man bashing each other with their primitive weapons (and kicks), to Egyptians poking at their opponents' eyes, to the Medieval Era where knights in armor hammer each other with maces, to the romantic age where chivalrous gentlemen are slapping each other with the glove, and then to early fisticuff brawling (with the lack of proper science when men are fighting as long as 75 to 80 rounds), Goofy demonstrates the different methods of boxing. The narrator shows the audience, with Goofy as the model, learn about proper breathing exercises, skipping rope for conditioning, as well as punching the bag to measure coordination, agility, and developing the skill of "covering up", and shadow boxing ''literally'' against his shadow, normally used for perfecting form and timing. The shadow makes ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Plot While working as a gold miner, Donald Duck engages in a series of tit-for-tat attacks between himself and his donkey. Afterwards, Donald accidentally gets the head of his pickaxe stuck on him. In his attempts to dislodge it, Donald fortuitously uncovers a rich vein of gold. In his excitement, he tosses the nuggets up into the air, and they spook the donkey as they clatter to the ground. The donkey takes off, dragging the minecart, and Donald along with it, off to the entry chute of the nearby ore processor. Donald is thrown into a fully automatic processing facility which grinds and pulverizes the mined rocks, separating the gold from them.
