Goofy was born in 1932. His original name was Dippy Dawg and in 1938 appeared in a book titled "The Story of Dippy The Goof". In 1939 he officially changed his name to Goofy after starring in the animated film Goofy and Wilbur. The name change was a genius marketing move for Goofy as he has become one of the most beloved Disney characters of all time and a member of Mickey's inner circle.
