“I’d answer, ‘Where’s Walt Disney in there? The character with the hook nose and mustache is my long time villain Dishonest John. Everybody knows who he is.’ My original version of “Beanyland” was very, very funny because it was such a tongue-in-cheek satire on Disneyland even as to the way they worded their advertising.
APRONGymnauseum (Disney, Goof Troop. 11/16/92) – What could possibly make Black Pete go on an exercise kick? An embarrassing and destructive incident of getting stuck in his favorite easy chair while chowing down on snacks and watching the big football game. Ans a frustrating flirtation with his wife by a rival sports car dealer who prides himself on being a buffed beefcake. Pete opens his big mouth too wide un protest – and ends up in a challenge grudge match against his hunk rival to compete in the annual winter games. Dieting alone isn’t going to solve the problem, as Pete breaks into hallucinations of his TV set as a hamburger, his easy chaur as a banana split, and his sofa as a row of cupcakes – and Pete gains one ounce just from the sheer thought of them. Buying an exercise bike returns us to the old “pull the retainer pin” gag again for another silhouette hole through the front door. Goofy’s along for moral support – and to provide a handy “how to” book on exercise, leading to a throwback to Jack Kinney’s “instructional” Goofy series, complete with stentorian narrator. A day at the gym includes competitive exhibitions between Goof and Pete at rope skipping. Pete adds a new angle of his own, turning his rope jumping into a demonstration of Westert lasso-swinging. But eventually, the two contestants are knotted together like a fishing rod backlash. On a weight/pulley machine, Goofy sets the pull ropes to link with the heaviest weights in the stack. Pete lifts, but fails to follow the narrator’s instruction to release the weights “slowly”, and gets yanked off his feet into the pulleys, while the narrator concludes, “Never mind.” Trampoline jumping builds until Pete hits the ceiling, knocking a hole in it with his head, then falls with a crash back onto the trampoline, puncturing it. Pete walks off with the trampoline framework bent around his waist, grumbling, “I really hate this.” A souped-up treadmill with video screen depicting a country road provides Goof with plenty of motivation, but is a bore to Pete – until a video image of his rival in a sports car appears on the screen, goading him with the challenge, “Catch me if you can”. Pete runs so fast in anger that he can’t come to a stop when Goof offers him lunch, and flies backwards from the momentum of the speeding belt, into the wall. Eventually, through some behind-the scenes trickery by Goof and Pete’s family, and some plain dumb luck, Pete succeeds over his rival, but ends the episode as he started – one again wedged and stuck in his easy chair.
The next night, after another strenuous day of practicing, Tigger has rounded up Pooh, Piglet, and Rabbit to stand guard with him, as he barricades the door and boards up all the windows to keep the Bunny from making another attempt at the shoes. Rabbit tries to figure how to end this nightmare of lies, but can’t find an available opening for an explainable excuse. Rather than maintain their wide-awake guard, Tigger, Pooh and Piglet eventually fall asleep. Rabbit, however, pops an eye open, and when the coast is clear, unlaces the heavy shoes from Tigger’s feet, and drags them off in a sack out of sight. Tigger begins mumbling again, and before anyone can stop him, has leaped out the window again, covered by the blanket, in another spell of sleepbouncing. Pooh and Piglet awaken to observe the shadowy figure disappearing, and conclude that the Awful Bunny has abducted Tigger. They exit into the woods to attempt a rescue, while Rabbit lags behind, more concerned with where to dispose of the troublesome shoes. Pooh and Piglet follow the trail of bounced footprints, and come to the base of the ridge. High atop the topmost boulders of the rock formation, sleeps Tigger. Pooh and Piglet call to him, and Tigger opens his eyes, to realize that he just accomplished his goal – bouncing the ridge in his sleep. Rabbit is noticed nearby, dumping the sack of shoes into gopher’s hole. A loud “Ouch” is heard from below, as gopher was in the line of dumping. Gopher angrily tosses the shoes back to the surface, revealed for the others to see, then decides things have gone far enough, and unzips one of the toes of the shoes to reveal what was inside. “You mean Rabbit deliberately put big ol’ weights on my footsies?”, Tigger remarks in revelation. He then pounces on Rabbit – not in anger, but to congratulate him! Tigger realizes this was the best training idea imaginable, and that Rabbit helped him to truly become the champion bouncer – at least where Rabbits are concerned. However, he still has yet a greater challenge, for which he insists that Rabbit serve as his trainer. “I heard about this cow that jumped over the moon. Us Tiggers can’t let no cows be the bestest jumpers.” Rabbit faints on the spot from the suggestion, and Tigger remarks. “Overcome with excitement.”
On Conan O’Brien’s final show on TBS, O’Brien was given an animated exit interview by his former ’employer,’ Homer Simpson! O’Brien was a former writer on The Simpsons in the early 90s right before he got his very first talk show on NBC as a replacement for David Letterman’s Late Night.
This album contains none of the four songs heard in the film, 101 Dalmatians (including “Playful Melody,” which has lyrics but is only heard in the movie as an instrumental), but instead begins side one with a tune by the Sherman brothers undoubtedly written with the film in mind but unused except on records.

Next, Amanda is placed on a sort of electronic rowing machine – with a retractable handle to hold, pushing and pulling in and out and timed by the speed of a numbered dial. Arnold permits Amanda to start out in low, but reminds her “No pain, no gain.” Freddy lands on the speed dial, and reminding Amanda of what the man just said, turns the speed control up a notch. “No faster”, protests Amanda. “No, faster?”, repeats Freddy, hearing things the way he wants to. The knob turns upwards, notch after notch. Amanda’s sweat begins to fill the room in a large puddle, with Freddy having to open an umbrella to keep from being drenched. Imitating Scotty from Star Trek, Freddy states, “I dinna think she can take much more, Captain.”, then struggles to give the knob a final increase. Looking down, he realizes the knob is already at its maximum setting of 10. With a pencil, he draws in a new number of 11, to which the knob now turns freely. Amanda and the machine take off across the gymnasium like a speedboat, crashing through the gym’s plate glass windows and out upon the lawn below, where Amanda’s sea of sweat also pours to form a sudden puddle of quicksand below her, into which she and the rowing machine sink.
