Goofy is teaching Max how to fish.
B. Problems
1. Goofy jumps while standing in
water. He is suspended in the air for an entire 26 frames.
2. Crouching is needed for jumping
because it extends the time of contact for pushing off the ground
3. Jumping is done by pushing
downward on the ground (action) so the ground pushes upward on you (reaction).
4. Goofy action is not equal to
his reaction when he pushed himself out of the water and is suspended in the
air for an unreasonable long time.

Character Animation
I had a difficult time coming up with the objet I wanted to animate. I wanted to work with something that had flexible limbs, but I don't own any clay or playdough. Then it occurred to me that I could make a little man out of tin foil. The idea for the animation furthered when I realized it would be kind of cool if something that is meant to enclose and protect food, came to life on a mission to eat food. Using one sheet of tin foil, I crafted foil man and proceeded to animate his mission to obtain the famous thin mint. I occasionally used pieces of tape to stabilize him.
