Opinion: I find this ship cute. Mostly for the same reasons I like the Mickey and Minnie ship. Goofy and Clarabelle may not be a very prominent couple shown off at Disney considering Clarabelle is a very minor character in the cast of Mickey's friends, but she does have some moments with Goofy in the various Mickey cartoons. They are meant to be portrayed as a couple and the ship is healthy so I like it.
Something I didn't know though was that originally Clarabelle had a different love interest. During 2020 when we were all in lockdown I decided to dust off some video games I hadn't finished and one of the first ones I played was Epic Mickey. There's a part of the game where you find a version of Toontown full of old forgotten Disney characters, one of which is named Horace Horsecollar. He tasks you with going to new Toontown and bringing back a freshly baked cake from Clarabelle. Doing this will award you with an achievement in the form of a medal with Clarabelle and Horace surrounded by a heart. I looked it up and apparently Horace and Clarabelle were originally a couple until Horace's popularity declined and Clarabelle was rewritten to be Goofy's love interest. They still have some moments together in the background of Disney cartoons but it's not many. So yeah there's some trivia for you.
So once again I like the Goofy and Clarabelle ship simply because their characters are written to be together and the ship is healthy. But since they aren't a major couple I'm not totally in love with their relationship like I am with Mickey and Minnie's.
