the characters wearing gloves

Yep that's interesting too. I also noticed that. Bobby was saying like, "Do you wonder why we're always, like, wearing gloves?" From all the characters, Goofy is the first one that Walt Disney made. After making Mickey, he made friends for Mickey like Goofy, Donald, etc. I think that's bcoz of that. In the first place he made Goofy with gloves (dunno why, maybe to show his uniqueness bcoz Goofy = dog & wolf). Max, his son, also follows his father by wearing gloves. Since the movie is made in a "goof world", making everyone goofs like Goofy, everyone should wear gloves too. That makes the characters look special. But it's only for Max and his friends plus Goofy. Brad, Tank, and the others didn't wear gloves.

Disney said that he put gloves on them so that you could tell their hands apart from their skin. =]

My theory is that, back the the days of black and white, Walt needed something so one could see the fingers on a black character. Steamboat Willie, for eksample, begins with a scene of Mickey holding the boatstearing thing, and his gloveless hands are just two rather nasty looking blobs.

My hazy and unreliable memory tells me there's a Disney cartoon where it shown that they get those gloves after being born in a hospital.
