    Points I pondered as a youth.

    If Donald Duck doesn't wear pants, how come after taking a shower he wears a towel around his waste?

    If Goofy is a dog that can walk and talk, how come Mickeys dog Pluto is an average dog that can't walk or talk?

    If Megatron is so big, why does he transform into a gun thats fits into the other decepticon hands?

    Did you guys/gals ever wonder about things in cartoons, movies etc. as a youth or still do?

        Lol, I wondered about the donald duck thing too. I still do actually. And I just loved trying to solve the Transformer mystery. I never did. Not only Megatron has a weird transformation, but also Shockwave and a few others seem to "lose" 9/10th of their body. Goofy is no dog, however, but a dingo I believe. My pondering were about:

        Where did that thing from Optimus came from everytime he transformed? It just came driving out of nowhere?

        Why did Mask's leader always allow his son to be involved. And at the end he was just glad he was alright. If I'd be him, I'd made sure that would never happen.
        If anyone can help me get my hands on King Arthur and the Knights of Justice episodes (other than the first five which were released on DVD way back in 2004), please contact me (PM). I really want to see this show again.

          Goofy is a dog. His original name was Dippy Dawg.

          Mickey and Donald both had three nephews. Where did they come from? I never saw Mickey's or Donald's siblings, so who had the kids?

          In Ducktales, Huey, Dewey, and Louie called both Scrooge and Donald "unca." But Donald also called Scrooge "Unca Scrooge." How can they both be the nephews' uncles if Scrooge is also Donald's uncle?

            Well, I know I've heard at least 10 times in my life Goofy is NOT a dog. Mostly as answers on what Goofy is, answerd by Disney. As for the nephews, Mickey had only two, and I don't know about them. As for Donald, Scrooge is his uncle, being the older brother of Donald's mother. But Donald also has a twin sister (yes, I believe they were twins) and she's H, D & L's mother. She asked Donald once to take care for them for a short period of time during vacation, but since she said they could stay as long as they wanted, they just never went back.

              Well, maybe Scrooge is Donald's uncle, but is Huey, Dewey and Louie's great uncle. I know I call my great aunt "Aunt Dorothy" (not great-aunt Dorothy). That means Scrooge has at least two siblings. One sibling is Donald's parent. The other sibling is Huey, Dewey and Louie's grandparent.

              Edit: I missed TheLady's post above. She explains it much better (and with more authority. ;-) )

                Whoops, my bad. Mickey does only have two nephews: Morty and Ferdy. Goofy is, though, a dog: http://psc.disney.go.com/guestservices/8709.html#8709

                Donald's sister was Dumbella Duck.

                  ok, now I'm confused. :D I guess he's a dog afterall, but I'm gonna search through some of my old Mickey Mouse comics, becoz I swear it claimed Goofy not to be a dog (I'm not gonna search through all my old Donald Ducks, even though I know it claimed it too).

                  Oh good. Yeah, I knew Donald's sis was Dumbella, but I wasn't sure if that also is her American name. You see, quite a lot of disney names are different here and I don't know all their original names. Thanx. But what I don't understand is why L,H & D call Scrooge "uncle", but Dora grandma. What actually happened with their real grandma, Donald's mother? Apart from her part in the comics about Scrooge's youth (small jewels in comicland :)), I never saw her mentioned anywhere.

                      yea I allways wondered what's above Nanny's waist or rather what she looked like.

                      Another thing was Mrs. Goofy in some of the episodes that feature Junior (Later renamed Max) we'd see allmost of her but her face. that allways but some couriosty into my head. that was kind of a down when i started to think disney couldn't make any doglike females. untill A Goofy Movie.
