What's up, everyone?

This is Disney+ Deets, where we break down everything

you need to know about your favorite

Disney+ movies and series.

I'm Kenneth.

And I'm Marcellus, and not to toot our own horns,

but we're pretty much the biggest Disney+ fans out there.

No, let's do it!

Toot toot!

Beep beep!

That's right!

Let's get into it!

[MUSIC RISES]

KENNETH BROWN: Ring, ring! MARCELLUS KIDD: Uh, hello?

Who is it?

KENNETH BROWN: Maybe the best thing about the '90s.

Slap bracelets?

Baggy jeans?

Mall shopping?

Even better, It's "A Goofy Movie"!

MARCELLUS KIDD: Oh, yes, Ken!

You don't understand, this is my childhood.

I adore this movie.

My excitement is through the roof.

KENNETH BROWN: I'm just as excited as you.

Goofy is one of my favorite characters.

MARCELLUS KIDD: Where are we starting, Ken?

KENNETH BROWN: We're going all the way back to 1932,

when Goofy made his big-screen debut in the Mickey Mouse

cartoon short, "Mickey's Revue."

MARCELLUS KIDD: That's right, the character was originally

named Dippy Dawg, then Dippy the Goof, and just The Goof,

before Walt Disney landed on Goofy

KENNETH BROWN: Goofy is such a perfect name.

I can't imagine it being anything else.

Like, what if it were Fred?

Or Marcus?

It just wouldn't be the same.

MARCELLUS KIDD: Where'd you get Marcus from?

KENNETH BROWN: Don't people call you Marcus sometimes,

instead of Marcellus?

MARCELLUS KIDD: Yes they do, and that's not my name.

Goofy rose in popularity over the 1940s,

and starred in many of his own shorts.

But it wasn't until 1995, with "The Goofy

Movie," that he had a starring role

in his own solo feature film.

KENNETH BROWN: I ain't mad at you, Goofy.

I'm still waiting for a starring role

in my own solo feature film.

MARCELLUS KIDD: You know what, Ken?

I'll make a call.

I know some people.

This was director Kevin Lima's feature film debut.

KENNETH BROWN: He worked on designs

for many of the characters in "Beauty

and the Beast," specifically Lumiere, Mrs. Potts,

and Cogsworth.

MARCELLUS KIDD: Lima wanted to deliver

something modern and unexpected with this movie.

His goal was to portray teenagers as they were in 1995,

and he succeeded.

KENNETH BROWN: Look at the world that we've been immersed in!

'90s fashion is on complete display right here.

MARCELLUS KIDD: Display-- you got ripped jeans,

you got all the scrunchies, and the hair.

KENNETH BROWN: It was crucial to Lima

that Goofy be portrayed with the three-dimensionality

that audiences hadn't previously seen from the character.

He wanted to give Goofy an emotional side that would add

to the arc of the story, and for the audience

to connect to his heart instead of just

laughing at his silly antics.

MARCELLUS KIDD: He really is such

a great father in this movie.

Bill Farmer, Rob Paulsen, and Jim Cummings

all reprise their roles from Disney's

"Goof Troop" television series.

Max, however, was aged-up to be in high school,

and recast with the voice of Jason Marsden.

KENNETH BROWN: Marsden is a legendary voice actor,

known for Thackery Binx, the cat in "Hocus Pocus,"

as well as characters in Disney's "Adventures

of the Gummi Bears," Disney's "The Legend of Tarzan,"

and "Kim Possible."

You can also see him with your own eyes

in several episodes of "Boy Meets World."

MARCELLUS KIDD: Bobby!

KENNETH BROWN: Bobby, with his mohawk, is hilarious to me.

MARCELLUS KIDD: How about the fact

that Bobby was drinking water from the water

fountain with a straw?

KENNETH BROWN: Slurping!

[LAUGHING]

MARCELLUS KIDD: OK, now get ready for this one.

Jim Cummings, the voice of Pete, can be heard

in so many Disney classics.

In addition to roles in Disney's "Adventures of the Gummi

Bears," "DuckTales," "Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers,"

"Tailspin," and "Aladdin," Cummings voiced both Winnie

the Pooh and Tigger in "The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh,"

and a hyena in "The Lion King," and Darkwing Duck himself.

KENNETH BROWN: You just read his Disney resume and my childhood

at the same time.

Jim Cummings makes me feel like an underachiever.

Oh, look!

MARCELLUS KIDD: Look, Roxanne is so happy.

KENNETH BROWN: Roxanne is excited.

Roxanne is the love interest--

MARCELLUS KIDD: Yes!

KENNETH BROWN: Who Max is spending

the entirety of the film to try to connect with.

MARCELLUS KIDD: She's so sweet, and look he gets his--

KENNETH BROWN: She was!

MARCELLUS KIDD: He gets his little popularity chops.

KENNETH BROWN: Right, right, right.

MARCELLUS KIDD: Now, we must talk about the great Disney

legend Bill Farmer, who has been voicing

Goofy for over 30 years.

According to Farmer, normally for a movie like this, Bill

recorded three to four days, plus a few extra days

for pickups.

For "A Goofy Movie," Bill recorded

43 days over two and a half years.

KENNETH BROWN: That is dedication.

A-hyuk!

Come on, smile!

MARCELLUS KIDD: Our classic Goofy.

KENNETH BROWN: Most of the film was animated in France.

Because this was before the internet,

director Kevin Lima would tape himself acting out scenes

as the characters, and ship the tapes

to the animators in Paris.

Lima says it's often frightening how similar Max's

expressions are to his own.

MARCELLUS KIDD: I believe it.

I was drawn in the entire time.

If you look at the balloons here,

you might see a shape that looks a lot like-- well,

you know who.

KENNETH BROWN: Mickey Mouse!

It's just nice to know he's out there.

MARCELLUS KIDD: It is.

Oh, I love this scene.

Possum Park feels like somewhere I

would have a birthday party at.

Like, this looks fun.

KENNETH BROWN: Are you kidding me?

MARCELLUS KIDD: Yes.

KENNETH BROWN: You want to go to Possum Park?

MARCELLUS KIDD: Do you see how happy everybody is?

Sometimes you got to look at stuff

with a different lens, Ken.

KENNETH BROWN: Max is not having it.

MARCELLUS KIDD: Oh, fun fact!

Kevin Lima's actually the voice of Lester.

Listen, if I could get my hands on one of those hats

my life would be complete.

This is really one of my all-time favorite movies!

Seriously, it's such a fan-favorite today,

but can you believe it wasn't quite a hit when it

first opened at the box office?

KENNETH BROWN: I know, especially

since it's considered such a beloved classic today.

I remember at the D23 Expo in 2015,

the room was packed for a 20th-anniversary panel

with the cast and crew from the film.

Everyone received a well-deserved standing ovation.

There was even a surprise appearance

from Tevin Campbell, a.k.a.

Powerline himself, who performed "I2I"!

It was amazing!

MARCELLUS KIDD: The message is so

universal that kids can still relate to the themes today.

KENNETH BROWN: I love learning that Bill Farmer says people

still come up to him and say this movie changed

their relationship with their dads.

I think Max really learns a powerful lesson

that the most courageous thing that you can be

is just to be yourself.

MARCELLUS KIDD: Be yourself, and stand out.

And when you do, you start to see it "I2I."

[HIGH FIVE]

KENNETH BROWN: That's our show for today.

Marcellus and I are off to play his Powerline

album from start to finish.

Be sure to like, subscribe, and check out "A Goofy Movie,"

now streaming on Disney+.

MARCELLUS KIDD: Take care of yourselves, and the planet,

and we'll see you next time.

Marcellus and Ken, signing off.

KENNETH BROWN: Everybody mambo!
