Chevalier d'un jour

In this Disney cartoon short, Goofy journeys into medieval times and stars as a knight's assistant named Cedric, who fills in for his master, Sir Loinsteak, in his armor to do battle with the champion after accidentally knocking his master out cold.

This is a funny story from start to finish, from Goofy in his hilariously bumbling but heroic ways in trying to deal with the knight champion to the narrator telling the story like a ballgame match (and giving Goofy advice in the process).

The animation was great and it's interesting seeing all the characters resemble Goofy himself. It's outrageous fun here and the scenes will surely give the audience a lot of laughs, especially the part where the four princes indifferently clap and yell "bravo" to the champion.

Grade A

Goofy is back in medieval times. He starts out a page to knight, Sir Cumference, and ends up in the armor after his own goofups take the big guy down. What follows are some serious pratfall and lots of action. The other Knight is quite a prize and the battle they do is really funny. One of the best of the Goofy how-to things.

Like many of the Goofy cartoons, all the characters in this one look like Goofy--even the 'beautiful princess'! It's set in Medieval times and begins at a tournament for knights. Sir Loinsteak is supposed to joust with Sir Cumference but Loinsteak is accidentally knocked out while he's getting ready. So, his loyal squire, Cederic, takes his place--especially since the winner will get the hand of the princess. What follows is a lot of the usual Goofy silliness--and Cederic refuses to give up to the favorite, Cumference.

This cartoon is just silly fun. While the animation is lovely (as you'd expect from Disney), the star of the film is the ridiculousness of it all. Fun from start to finish--especially when the narrator talks to Cedric and gives him advice!

How is the Narrative structure built? Why does American Industrial Cinema require narrative formula? What is Cinema other than a picture-told story?

You knew all wrong; because you have never been in Vaudeville in your life by the norms of 2021. In 7 minutes A Knight For A Day, the classic underdog replacing hero format; the eyes of tournament spectators and the minds of arena runners genuinely reflected by Billy Bletcher, who narrated this silent dialogue-free short animation.

Silence, by all means, is not merely the situation of quiteness. It is actually when no voice can be heard other than the voice of the mind. Cross-referencing Jules Massenet's Don Quixote Opera of February,19th.1910 in Monte Carlo.

Pinto Colvig, as Goofy, adapts his voice talent into this Impressionist art movement; characterizing both Cedric the servant, his master The Duelist, his opponent The Knight, his spectators and his imprisoned Princess.

A total piece of art with motives from Cervantes' Literature of Medieval Spain; which in 10 years of passage was going to be revised and repeated by two Buggs Bunny shorts by Warner Bros.

Goofy has always been one of my favourites. He's goofy and clumsy, but he is funny with it and we love him still. A Knight For a Day is for me one of his best. The formula of the How to Sports shorts is evident, but stretched to fit the medieval setting, which shows that Disney have creativity. A Knight For a Day knows when to be fun also, again like Hockey Homicide and How to Play Football Goofy is in multiple roles and shows not just his clumsy charm but also his versatility as some of them are varied. The gags are imaginatively timed, especially the ones when the shield is scared and the lion on it runs away and the one with the sold out sign on the drawbridge, and with also Cedric's ponderings on what to do next and how he defeats Sir Curcumferance are very funny(the latter is ingenious). The modern narration, still as brilliantly witty as ever, juxtaposes with the setting very well and never jars, giving us the sense that despite this setting that we are still watching a cartoon in the vein of the How To sports shorts. The animation is beautiful, with lots of fluidity and colour, while the music enhances the action beautifully by its typical energy and character. Goofy is stellar in every one of his roles, playing the comedy brilliantly as well as being endearing. The voice work is also very good. Overall, a Goofy classic, a must-watch. 10/10 Bethany Cox
