- "Pete Smith's "Goofy Movies" comedy shorts were one reel (10 minute) shorts designed to be short spoofs of the movie going experience of the day, which included getting music, a newsreel, added attractions and other things along with the feature film. In these shorts you got all those things in 10 minutes along with the humorous narration of Pete Smith. Usually, the "feature" film was a "silent" film with comedic narration added."
