Stars: 5 out of 5
Pros: Fun Show with Goofy
Cons: Price
The Bottom Line:
Rounding out trio
Goofy is charming, silly
A fun part of show
You'll be Gleeful to Add Goofy to Your Collection
The last of the three ornaments in Hallmark's Disney
Christmas Carolers ornament set to come out last year was Gleeful Goofy. He is slightly different from the other two,
but in a way that fits his personality perfectly.
While Mickey and Donald are standing under old fashioned
street lights while they sing for us, Goofy has decided to deck himself out
like a tree. Okay, so he's wearing his
usual orange shirt and blue pants, but he has wrapped some green garland around
himself. (Actually, he's the only one of
the trio also not decked out for colder weather, which is a bit of a surprise.) Anyway, he does provide his own light. The source?
The star on his head.
And, in addition to joining Mickey and Donald in their
songs, he starts his own song as well.
In this case, it's "We Wish You a Merry Christmas." And if you've bought all three ornaments in
this set, you'll enjoy Mickey and Donald joining in on this song. The star also flashes while Goofy is singing,
and he moves his hand up and down. All
told, the show lasts just over 30 seconds.
To get the sound, light, and motion to work, you have to
have this ornament plugged into Hallmark's Power Cord, which is sold
separately. One cord works for up to
seven different ornaments, and you don’t even have to have the ornaments from
the set plugged into the same cord. I
had these three ornaments on two different trees about a dozen feet apart, and
they interacted with each other just fine.
This is my favorite ornament in the set. Part of it is because I love Goofy. And I love how Goofy has decked himself out
for Christmas in a way only he would.
Plus, with his hand in the air, it adds another note of fun. Mind you, I really did enjoy having this set
up on my trees this year, so I'm glad I have all of them, but this was a clear
favorite.
As with the others, Goofy is standing on a nice, round base,
so you can set him out some place to enjoy.
Being an ornament, he is designed to hang on your tree, and you'll find
he hangs straight if you go that route.
Original Price: $34.99
