Goodie's Good Deed

In his first outing at trying to do his first good deed as a Boy Scout, Goodie is tormented by the evil gremlins at every turn. The other gremlins hate Goodie because he won't let them have fun going bad things. When he stops two gremlins from starting a fight with two friendly neighbors, the evil sprites tie Goodie up and continue to make trouble with the neighbors. Getting some assistance from an unlikely source, Goodie foils the gremlins' scheme, and the two neighbors became pals once again.

Directed by Seymour Kneitel, Goodie's Good Deed leans on a strong ensemble — Norma MacMillan, Jack Mercer, Corinne Orr — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about animation titles of 1964.
