Genre

Characters
Goofy; The Wicked Witch; Goofy's many "new friends"
Synopsis
Goofy rescues the Wicked Witch, who is snagged in a tree and powerless by being separated from her magic hat. Secretly, the Witch does a good turn for Goofy making his tiny mountain shack (which he laments is too small) much larger on the inside than it is on the outside (think Doctor Who’s TARDIS). When this must-see oddity attracts all sort of “new friends”, guests, and party crashers, who overrun even this magically-enlarged space, crowding Goofy out, the Witch does one more favor so that Goofy may finally relax.
