Not gonna lie I would love to have seen Steve Martin as goofy

We’ve all been in this situation where a boss, or higher up, has this “great idea” and you’ve got to trick them into realizing just how bad of an idea it actually is, because you know you can’t just tell them outright—the realization also has to be their idea too.

Not wanting Goody to have his iconic voice for a goody movie is crazy.

Can’t believe I would’ve been a hardcore Goofy fan in an alternate universe /j
Bill Farmer is a perfect Goofy, though.

Even Tevin Campell (Powerline) couldn’t have saved that movie if Goofy did not sound like Goofy. Wth?

Steve Martin worked at Disneyland as a teenager. I feel like he understands Disney pretty well. I’m not sure he would have done this even if Katzenberg asked him to do it in his own voice. Glad he wasn’t put in the position of having to say yes or no to that odd whim.

Goofy not having his wacky voice would be like Mario not having an Italian accent
