It only took 26 years for the Disney Company to recognize

with a figurative piece of sculptural bliss! It's from Japan and cost a pretty penny, but when you've waited as long as I have, you've just got to swallow hard and take the plunge!

I'm going to admit it full out here... I just watched

's Once Upon a Studio and blubbered through the whole thing - from Burny Mattinson to the finale group photo. I'm sure it won't hit others as it affected me, but I've believed in the magic of

Loving this! I continue to be amazed by how this little film gains traction over time. In 1995,

bombed at the box office, today it’s immortalized by

Interesting to see all of the lyrical specifics in "Under the Sea" ignored in the
#TheLittleMermaid
"live-action" reboot.
I did all of the band fish designs (based on Ed Gombert and Kelly Asbury's storyboards) in the animated film.
In order of appearance...

I constantly run into people who express their thanks and admiration for the film. It is honestly overwhelming and humbling. You are all responsible for making this film a Disney favorite. From the bottom of my heart, thank you.

I so want this to be an actual frame from

characters are copyrighted by the Burrough’s estate and couldn’t appear in group settings with other Disney characters. We’ll find out tonight!

I am overwhelmed!!! Received a fan 4K restoration of

I was remembering this morning that when Jeffrey Katzenberg left The Walt Disney Studios to start DreamWorks Animation a few months before AGM was released, the studio pulled the giant ad campaign they had planned to the film - coincidence or not?
I'm hearing a lot of crowing that Melissa McCarthy based her Ursula on Divine, but I'm here to tell ya, that inspiration first came from Howard Ashman. He asked me to try some designs and this is the first drawing ever done...

POWERLINE! It’s often been rumored that Powerline is Bobby Brown. Honestly, he was conceived as a combination of Prince, Michael Jackson and yes, Bobby Brown.

Hard to believe it was 33 years ago. The year I graduated from CalArts, Disney didn't hire a single student. We were devastated, but I was blessed with the good luck of getting a job designing characters for THE BRAVE LITTLE TOASTER. Happy Anniversary!

With it being the 30th anniversary of THE RESCUERS DOWN UNDER, I thought I'd share some of the hundreds of character designs I did for the film. Red, Frank and Krebs. If you're interested, many more where these came from.

When we came up with the idea of Pauly Shore playing Bobby, the character sprang to life fully formed. Pauly would improvise through his voice sessions and much of it made its way into the film.

Finally got myself to Disneyland and scoped out all of the

First of the tin bits I didn't have time to tweet during the AGM Virtual Watching Party... Here’s a drawing by Carole Holiday of Chad, Max and Roxanne. It gives you an idea of how that triangle played out.

I'd dig up some Sport Goofy in Soccermania animation I'd done back in 1985! If I'm remembering correctly, it was my first professional gig. I believe I have some Beagle Boys animation roughs, somewhere.

I watched Disney's new "live-action"
#Pinocchio
and cried when it ended. Not because I was touched by its beauty, its truth, but because every beautiful truth had been ripped from its precious heart.
The same person who gave me the "Hi Dad Soup" pin at the El Capitan screening a few years back told me about a Lester cosplay costume she created. Never in a million years did I think it was going to be this excellent!

A GOOFY MOVIE really took off when it was released on VHS tape on September 6, 1995 and the audience for the film has grown and grown, generation after generation over the years.

Unfortunately, there was never an Art of Enchanted book published and there was so much beautiful artwork created for the film.

Deepu, on the other hand, is the ultimate optimist and believes that one day the street monkeys, scavengers that litter the streets will one day soon discover their inner Hanuman (the Indian deity that was once revered by all) and rise to their forgotten glory.
In an early version of the story, Max had an opponent for Roxanne’s affection – CHAD. All that’s left of him is a few single scenes. He was voiced by Joey Lawrence.
#D23GoofyMovie
I'm in utter shock!!! I've never noticed this before - a one handed hold of a tennis racket (which Goofy never uses in the film) and a fishing pole with a fish even! And, and... a suit case under the other arm! A blatant copy!

We went out of our way to make sure that the voice cast got to record together. Here’s me with Kelly Martin, the voice of Roxanne and Jason Marsden, the voice of Max after one such session.

In 2011, I developed a hybrid

entitled "IF" about a young boy and his Imaginary Friend that travel cross country to reunite with an IF best friend that has moved away. The executive left the studio and with her departure, the project died. I'm curious about...
@Variety
100% agree! I was thrown to the wolves (dogs) on 102 DALMATIANS and looking back, although it set a career moving, I sure could have used some support.
As you can see on this map, there are many generations of Goofs. In an early version of the storyreels, Max and Goofy stopped at a Goof reunion.
#D23GoofyMovie
Recently I did a podcast about A GOOFY MOVIE with Jason Marsden and we discovered that we share a most favorite scene in the movie. To me it’s remarkable that we were able to add so many new layers of emotion to a character that’s been around for as long as Goofy.
#D23GoofyMovie
Very excited to share some facts, reveal some Easter eggs and answer your questions (as much as I can remember anyway) about A GOOFY MOVIE - Here we go...
I was hunting through yet another basement box and found this beauty - caricatures I drew of Brian Pimental and me as high school students in A GOOFY MOVIE.

Back in the 90s, before CDs or digital, we shared cassette tapes of the films music and dialogue tracks. I’ve kept boxes of them. Someday I'm going to transfer them all.

Raj is majorly disillusioned with the roll that life has dealt him. He pragmatic and puts his nose to the grindstone to make sure his brother doesn't feel the hardship of being cast aside.

I've dug through my THE BRAVE LITTLE TOASTER box and found a quite a few character designs I drew (on paper with a pencil!) way back in 1985, my first professional design gig. First up, she's a can opener, lamp and a razor, she's a Mish Mosh!

More cels (and a background) from Sport

in Soccermania. I know I animated the Mayor with Huey, Dewey & Louie, not sure if I did the Scrooge McDuck and didn't animate the Referee scene. Definitely didn't paint the background!

If we're not living in a shifting reality, then why does this smiling fish who is never seen in A Goofy Movie featured so prominently on the DVD cover?
When we finished storyboarding the film, Brian Pimental, who was story supervisor/writer on the film, had t-shirts made for the story crew. It included a drawing of Goofy by each artist in their personal style.
