That 16 bit remake was an amazing short recap of the movie.
I watched the documentary in the background so I'll probably need to see it again but, whoa, there were was actually a Roxanne song? And a Goofy's fear of Max being a delinquent song too? Is that media around somewhere?
That black dot pixel thing was a disaster, poor dudes. The Steve Martin was a bit terrifying if that actually happened tho, yikes!
I saw some of those youtubers videos they featured. The guy who recreated Stand Out, the black culture video, some of the cosplay.
A cool part to see was the live action dancers doing i2i for the choreo for artists to follow as reference and it side by side with the actual cartoon dance. Gosh dang, I knew those moves. And the dancers knew to dance differently for Powerline, Goofy and Max each. Nest!
Odd they didn't mention Extremely Goofy Movie at the end. I wasn't that into that movie as the first tho.

The Roxanne song isn't online, but something this documentary didn't mention was that there were actually TWO recorded songs about Goofy's fear of Max becoming a delinquent. The one briefly featured in this documentary ("Bad Bad Boy" I think it was called?) was not known about before, but the other one ("Born to Be Bad"), which was not featured in the documentary, has been uploaded to YouTube.
Unfortunately, the original upload seems to be gone from YouTube, but this (extremely low quality) other upload of the song exists:
For a long time, it was believed to have originally been a song sung by Pete to Goofy, warning him about how all boys are born rotten, but director Kevin Lima revealed on Twitter some years back that it was actually sung to Goofy by a new character named Don, who would have been Goofy's boss at an office job before it was decided to put Goofy and Pete in a department store photo studio. The full lyrics to the song can be found here.
There was also a third deleted song titled "Made in the Shade" that would have been the opening number instead of "After Today", which would have depicted Goofy and Max's lives from their respective perspectives. Goofy's part of the song was a slow, mellow sounding tune where he sings about how nice and easygoing his life is, living with Max and loving his son dearly, while Max's part of the song was more upbeat and rock-based, with him singing about how he's got all these plans and ambitions to change his life for the better and live it to the fullest.
Sadly, however, like with original upload of "Born to be Bad", the YouTube upload of this song is also gone, leaving only the tiny bit we hear in the documentary available to the public (and searching for the song on Disney Wiki only brings up a page for a song from Doc McStuffins instead).
There was also an early demo version of "On the Open Road" where the girl Max sings about is named "Dolores" (what is this, the 1940s?) instead of "Roxanne". This upload is gone too, but the lyrics to the demo version can be found here.
Oh yes. It has been well reported that they were strongly considering Steve Martin over Bill Farmer for Goofy. This was after Aladdin was made so Disney was firmly in that "We need celebrity voices!" phase that began with Robin Williams voicing the Genie (and is why The Lion King was stacked with big names in its voice cast, including James Earl Jones, Jonathan Taylor Thomas, Jeremy Irons, Matthew Broderick, Whoopi Goldberg, and more). Thankfully, cooler heads prevailed, leaving the biggest names in the movie to be the minor supporting roles of Wallace Shawn and Pauly Shore.
I wasn't surprised the sequel wasn't acknowledged. Kevin Lima dislikes the mere idea of that movie's existence. I believe he still hasn't watched it to this day out of principle.
I enjoy the sequel, though. Not as much as the first, but I like the emotional growth Goofy went through it (Max, however, could have had a more compelling story than an ESPN commercial). Bradley Uppercrust III, though, is seriously underrated as a character. He is a squash-and-stretch wonder of animation. Some animator was really showing off when drawing him.
Mickey's Once Upon a Christmas and House of Mouse also didn't get acknowledged, despite Max's appearances in both tying into the movies.
IMDb credits three animators (plus inbetweens and clean-up) for him, none of whose other credits provide much of a hint. I wonder if it's just a DisneyToon Australia thing in general, because I've seen other characters with oddly exaggerated lipsyncing if not quite to that degree (except the Genie in the Aladdin TV series, who I remember Lindsay Ellis commenting as being Don Bluth-esque).
