This question was probably asked once before on this thread, but I wanna ask anyway. What would Walt Disney think about The Walt Disney Company today? Would he be impressed or dissapointed with the direction the company is going? What would he have thought about his company buying the entirety of 20th Century Fox's movie library?
Would he condemn the live-action remakes being made today?

These might be pointless questions to ask, but I wanna ponder about them. Also I am currently taking a class on Walt Disney and I can already tell I am getting myself into a deep rabbit hole.
 
Yeah, I don't think I'm the only one who's been seeing Powerline T-shirts cropping up as of late. It's almost surreal just how much A Goofy Movie has started coming back into pop culture.

Also I am currently taking a class on Walt Disney and I can already tell I am getting myself into a deep rabbit hole.

Should totally do a compare-contrast with American Experience's two-parter on Walt. Despite his human flaws, that permanently sold me that Walt was put on this godforsaken earth for a reason.
 
As someone who hasn't seen the new Disney remakes, did they also degrade the villains there because we aren't allowed to have intimidating villains anymore?

Maleficent is turned into the hero of the Sleeping Beauty story.

Gaston was turned into a PTSD-filled war veteran, and it's (kind of) played off as an awkward joke.

Scar and Shere Khan are just neutered/not as cool imitations of the characters from the animated movie.

Jafar is devoid of ANY personality. Like, he was astonishingly awful. And they didn't even let him turn into a giant cobra at the end (Iago turns into a giant bird instead).

The only villain that has remained relatively unscathed by the remakes, in my opinion, is Lady Tremaine from Cinderella. The remake gives her something of a backstory, but it doesn't make her sympathetic in the slightest. Plus, Cate Blanchette didn't phone it in.

Fuck the Disney remakes.
 
A Goofy Movie is unapologetically 90's and I love it. It's also super nostalgic for me as a 90's kid so on the occasion I've seen it again as an adult I'm immediately transported back to the summer of 95. It's also really fucking heartfelt for a movie about Goofy. Like after Max gets humiliated at the possum park and Goofy is genuinely upset to see that Max didn't have a good time. Or when he sincerely asks for parenting advice from Pete of all people. Or hell, that amazing scene in the hot tub in Arizona when Goofy discovers Max betrayed him by changing the map route to California (without knowing why).

The music is shockingly good as well, and back when Disney Channel played song clips from various movies all of the songs from A Goofy Movie were frequently shown from 95 until the end of the decade. After Today was the national anthem of the start of summer vacation, and everyone loved the Powerline songs.

I may have to watch the movie again soon now.

A Goofy Movie is one of the examples as to why it's typically not a deterrent for me when someone says that a movie is "dated." A Goofy Movie is dated as hell, as that's part of the charm to it (along with it actually being a good movie).

Then again, 20 years from now, the movies from the 2010s will be dated in all of the bad ways because of the woke shit that's infected all of media. lol.

On a side note, I really wish that Disney would make more full-length movies starring some of the OG characters. I would love to watch a new movie starring Mickey, Donald, or Goofy, personally.

Couldn't agree more I actually went back and rewatched it this weekend. Thought I think you need to be careful showing 90s love around here I did a similar thing on the sonic thread and they replied by posting pics of the bald bearded wojack soyface and that YouTube video 90s nick. Also this

That guy who posted that is a retard and is probably a soyboy who's got a beard and is heavily projecting and trollshielding. Just give him a trash can sticker and discredit anything he says

They've been trying to get a Mickey Mouse movie off the ground for a long time, but I think they shelved the idea a couple years back because everything needs to be CGI now, and I guess they don't believe they could make Mickey look good in CGI. Which is bullshit, but the actual reason behind it might not be a "good enough" reason to abandon a Mickey Mouse movie.

I know I saw and did just that thanks for watching my back li 👍

Also tfw you realize half the shots in a goofy movie of the female characters (especially the power line backup dancers) may be why we still have furries to this very day.

Disney has a lot of control over Mickey's image. Not to his benefit. There was one guy who wrote a Mickey comic and was told by the company to "give him less personality," I swear.

The ideal Mickey film would have him in an adventure a la the classic Floyd Gottfredson comics, facing off against the Phantom Blot.

(If they don't believe they can make Mickey look good in CGI, they must not have a lot of faith in those preschool shows they've been making.)

I loved a Goofy Movie as a kid, there was something fascinatingly strange about seeing the Disney cartoon world version of everyday places like big box stores or motels.

What's sad is I saw it in theaters but when I think back to 1995 it feels like a million years ago, I wish my childhood wasn't so long ago.

On a side note the DTV sequel was pretty good too.

Remember that new Goofy short that played before the National Treasure sequel? That was great and made me hopeful they would do more theatrical stuff with the OG characters, but that was already almost 13 years ago.

Has there really never been a feature length Mickey Mouse movie?

Nope. Theatrical Mickey Mouse shorts were it. Had the 2004 Three Musketeers DTV movie been released to theaters (it was just barely an hour long), we'd count it.

This has been a thing for many decades, though I can believe it's gotten worse. The Mickey from the earliest shorts are a lot different from the modern Mickey. After all in Plane Crazy Mickey was so angry by Minnie's refusal to kiss him that he pulled loops to make her too dizzy to object. But I'd say most traces of that vanished once Donald came about, when Mickey became the straight man of the trio, and then every other character he was paired with. This is just a natural extension of that decades later, although shades of old Mickey have been in some of those new Mickey and friends shorts.

Up until this year there wasn't a Mickey Mouse ride either. It went live just a few weeks ahead of the Corona shut down though.

The shorts have done much to bring back Mickey with a personality, but I still think we need a tribute to the old adventure stories that Mickey used to star in.
