This cartoon had a very negative view on how I felt about cellulite. As a child, I struggled when I heard the word fat, feeling like there was nothing good about it.From the age of 5 till about 10, I had seen quite a few things about weight portrayed in a horrible light. This cartoon did not help that image.There were several scenes from this short that stuck with me. Goofy deflating the car tires, grounding the elevator, and his stomach growling like a dog. He tightens his belt to suppress his hunger, only to watch in horror as it busts lose, his gut now whimpering like a frightened pup.The harshest thing about this was the fact that Goofy's reflection talked negatively to him instead of giving him encouragement. I believe this may well be Goofy's conscious telling him to improve his lifestyle. However, it doesn't seem to work very well and at the end of the cartoon. Goofy's reflection has now eaten all the food. So if this is indeed Goof's conscious, he has taken a turn for the worse and will continue his gluttonous ways.This cartoon would probably be more funny to me now than a while back. Some of the scenes are just overblown. I will come back later to clean up my review and give a final score for this.

Goofy seems to have a lot of these stories where the plot in his cartoons are experimental. In this case, Goofy, identified as a character named George Geef, goes through overweight challenges, as highlighted in a somewhat hilarious way in this cartoon (which would not be very PC nowadays).This cartoon is more like a mini-documentary than an animated story. Not much laughs in this one and Goofy does not speak in his iconic voice. It's not an awful cartoon, just a little mediocre.Grade C+

The play on words in the title of this 6.5-minute cartoon already says what this one is about: losing weight. Weight Watchers in the 1950s as this one is already 65 years old, was made only half a decade after World War II and it is one of many Goofy "how to" videos. I must say I like these, they are always funny I think. This one here is probably not among the best or the worst, so it meets the high standards without exuding greatness. Pinto Colvig, however, is as great as always and his voice could not fit Goofy any better. Maybe they actually could have made some of the food jokes a bit funnier, but it's still pretty entertaining. I do recommend the watch. Thumbs up for Goofy and this little film.

Disney have some classic shorts under their belt, and some feature Goofy, to date still one of their funniest and most likable characters. Goofy still is his appealing everyman and loveably clumsy self, and does it so naturally, though while this is a fun scenario and done remarkably well it isn't the best one to show Goofy at his very best(where he is clumsy and lovable for it, or making situations harder than they actually are that isn't obvious to him but is to the audience). Tomorrow We Diet! is still a hoot though, the gags are clever and genuinely funny and we are also taught things in a way that's fun and not in a way that we are talked down to. Especially seeing as weight and dieting are sensitive issues and are still relevant today. The animation is colourful and vibrantly shaded, with a lot of attention to detail and beautiful drawing too. The visuals of the food and the contents of the cook book are done in such a way that they are too good to eat or give you the urge to do so. The music sounds great with catchy themes and jaunty orchestration, it has bags of energy and does well with enhancing the action. All in all, colourful and entertaining, not Goofy at his very best but relevant and difficult to resist. 9/10 Bethany Cox
