Nice, nothing more

'How to Ride a Horse' is a nice animated short from Disney starring Goofy. From his 'How to...'-series this is one of the better shorts, although I still think it is not that special. The narrator (John McLeish) tells us how to ride a horse. He starts with clothes from the person who rides the horse. Step by step he tells everything from there and ends with jumping. What the narrator tells us is what we see Goofy doing. Of course things do not happen the way the narrator tells us, the horse is smarter than Goofy. The jokes are very predictable but sometimes the animation is so inventive it still gives us some laughs. This is a nice short, but don't expect too much.
