![]() ![]() What were some of the challenges? I'm sure there was no shortage of them. The video’s about 97% – astonishingly – on target. We realized we didn't know much about video – lighting, organizing, etc., but Rex started film school last year when we were already a third of the way through the video. My brother Rex, who helped out extensively, began film school after we started making the video. I was expecting you to be a film student. I'm a native Arizonan majoring at Arizona State University in Business Management who wants to see more good quality videos that everyone can enjoy. I had a few other questions I needed to ask… but you might want to first watch the video at to understand what we’re talking about – and to see a side-by-side comparison of Ted’s version and the original. We also approached this as if a client, in this case Disney, came to us with the idea and storyboard and said, "This is what we want, don't detour from it.” It was in our reach to make based in a modern neighborhood, clothes not that far out of date and very little cartoon physics. “We love the song, we love the movie, and we thought we could hit a popular thing that a majority knows and loves. No big deal perhaps Ted’s far from alone in identifying with Max and says there are 18 “good” remakes “and heaps more that are bad” to be seen on YouTube,* but none of them attempted what he accomplished: perfectly replicating the entire song, shot-by-shot in live action. Ted related all right, so much so that he created a video of his friends lip-synching and performing the song. “We felt that since everyone had been to high school and had wanted to get noticed by someone, that even if they didn't grow up with A Goofy Movie that they would still relate.” They say it’s mandatory for the hero in a musical to perform an ‘I want’ song early on in A Goofy Movie the hero is Goofy’s son Max and his ‘I want’ song is “After Today:” it’s the last day of school and while everyone else is looking forward to vacation, Max is determined to lose his “Maxie the geek” reputation and impress Roxanne, the girl of his (beginning of the movie) dream. I loved Goof Troop too – I loved how they took a main Disney character and expanded his universe.” “ A Goofy Movie was a big part of my childhood and all my friends around me,” the Arizona college student explained. Definitely a “B” picture and created for the most part in Disney’s Australia and Paris studios, Goofy’s feature debut took in a little over a tenth of Pocahontas’ box office – but for some people it was ten times more entertaining: if you were a kid back then, you might’ve related more to the story of a teen trying to impress a girl while putting up with a clueless dad than a romantic retelling of America’s 17th century colonization. On the other hand, you might not remember A Goofy Movie, another animated Disney feature from the same year. It made the studio some $347 million, but never became the next Beauty and the Beast Disney hoped for (and has yet to make it to Broadway – perhaps they’re still looking for an actor small enough to fit into a Meeko suit). You probably remember Pocahontas, Disney’s 1995 prestige animated musical.
