00:00I'm going to try to remember back to when all this happened.
00:07This is Kevin Lima, the director of the Goofy movie.
00:12I was the first time director, I had a first time head of story, first time lead editor.
00:17I thought we had the opportunity to make a John Hughes movie in animation.
00:21Let's make a movie that is about contemporary teenagers, as opposed to what feature animation
00:25was doing, which was all talking animal movies and fairy tales, even though these are kind
00:30of talking animal movies.
00:31All right guys, let's do this.
00:35Jeffrey Katzenberg was talking about going on a vacation with his daughter and they weren't
00:40quite getting along, and he thought that might be an interesting subject matter for the story
00:45of Goofy and Max.
00:46A father who's worried about his son and where he's going.
00:49I know there were production challenges.
00:51We were doing it in reduced sort of capacity.
00:54To look back in time at it, there was something, you know, pretty magical about the whole thing.
00:59You know, the magic trick animation is getting you to feel for it.
01:03There is that universal connection that people end up having.
01:07You can't ask for more than that.
01:09I would love to have them be moved by who Goofy is, and by how he relates to his son.
01:19Do adventure!
01:23Disney didn't know what they had.
01:25It was different.
01:26Okay, this is cool.
01:27It was the voice of a generation.
01:28Oh, dad!
01:29Okay, you can go now.
01:30Here, we're going to do this 2D shot again.
