In the 1950s Goofy became a family man thanks to Walt Disney himself, who came up with the idea to give Goofy a little more personality, During this time although the title of his movies proclaimed Starring Goofy, he was never called Goofy in his movies George Geef was the name he answered too, In addition, the 50's Goofy shorts gave Goofy a makeover. He was more intelligent, had smaller eyes with eyebrows, had flesh-colored skin instead of white, and sometimes had a normal voice. He even lacked his droopy ears, his external pair of teeth and white gloves in some cartoons.

In 1965 Goofy starred in an educational film called Goofy's Freeway Troubles and after that dissapeared from the lime light.
