NYT: ‘A Goofy Movie,’ With a Serious Impact

[irlandaise]

Produced mostly in Paris by Disneytoon Studios, a television division with a far smaller budget than those for projects at Walt Disney Animation Studios, “A Goofy Movie” made a modest $35.3 million, not adjusted for inflation, during its domestic theatrical release, according to Box Office Mojo. Yet with time, it found its audience among young millennials watching it on home video, namely VHS.

Today, YouTube and TikTok are saturated with content about “A Goofy Movie.” Disney has capitalized on this interest by releasing new merchandise that outnumbers the products that existed when the film was originally released. And special Fork n’ Film screenings, at which audiences eat the food from the movie, have played to sold-out crowds.

Thanks for posting! I just watched the documentary with DS31, who watched his VHS copy of A Goofy Movie so much he broke it. For anyone who liked the movie, it's worth a watch! Two thumbs up!
