For years I've wondered why.
Why hasn't A Goofy Movie ever seen a release in proper widescreen in HD like virtually every other Disney classic has? This question is made all the more puzzling considering that the much worse sequel, An Extremely Goofy Movie has seen release in HD on streaming and the like.
So why shun such a hidden gem? A renaissance classic?
Thanks to a recent rewatch, I finally know why.
It's this moment in this scene.
Specifically:
There it was, all along. The one gesture that is banned in schools, in a country where many politicians also want teachers armed with weapons, but that's a subject for a different thread. The dreaded finger-gun is here, animated in fluid, Disney glory for all little children's minds to be warped. It is because of the danger of this gesture being "glorified" for kids to potentially imitate in a place like school where such an action can get them suspended that we will likely never see this classic film released in any capacity ever again, and will spend eternity in the banned vault next to Song of the South.
Is there any other animated Disney film containing this gesture that is currently released? If not this reason, then what else is left that may possibly stand in the way of proper Goofy Movie re-release in this day and age?
The only other film that has such a gesture I can think of is in The Incredibles and Syndrome's Stasis Beam, shot out by the same hand sign.
