Roles Being Written For New Cartoon Character

\VALT DISNEY has taken up the opVV tion on the stork which has a featured role in “Goofy and Wilbur,” the latest Disney production released by R.K.O. Radio. The story concerns the adventures of Goofy and his trained grasshopper, Wilbur. Wilbur goes with Goofy on fishing expeditions, and lures the fish into Goofy’s waiting net. Things go smoothly until Wilbur is swallowed by a frog who is, in turn, swallowed by a stork. The end of the picture finds Wilbur emerging as frisky as ever from the stork’s egg. Originally meant to be purely a onepicture character, the stork was responsible for so many laughs in “Goofy and Wilbur” that plans are now being made to write in some fat parts, for her in future technicolour productions.
