Getting "Goofy"

Fact numero uno:  I love to laugh.  Fact numero dos:  I love movies, including animated cartoons.  Fact numero tres:  I'm a huge Disney dork.   That's okay.  I fully embrace my dorkiness.  But I do.  I love Disney and I love Disney movies.  Can't help it.  Grew up on them.  They make my soul happy, kind of like Pixar movies and their pre-movie animated shorts make me happy.  Same concept.

Therefore, I was pleasantly surprised when, completely out of the blue, I had a song from The Goofy Movie stuck in my head.  The song?  "Eye to Eye".  It's the last song of the movie, where Goofy and his son sing it onstage with the big music star.  Goofy exchanges crazy dance moves with the singer and everyone's famous, and it's great.  Story over.  However, upon bringing up this tidbit of info with people over the weekend, I discovered everyone I was with equally loved that movie.  We started going over one-liners (aka "it's the leaning tower of cheese-ah") and songs, and we decided we absolutely had to find that movie.  This is when antiquated VHS technology becomes even more annoying.  We found the movie, but couldn't play it!  Boo.  Stupid movies.  Luckily, we found it for sale on eBay (yay), and also discovered that, although not available streaming via Netflix, you can insert The Goofy Movie into your movie cue on Netflix.  Cool!  

In the meantime, for those of you that remember the movie, love the movie (secretly or openly.  I promise I won't tell), here is a You Tube Video of the 2 best songs from the movie.  Enjoy.  Sing along.  Dance to them in your room while belting them out at the top of your lungs.  Be a kid again.  It's okay, your secret's safe with me, and your computer.  Promise.  Just don't pull any muscles.  You might feel twelve again, but make sure you check in with your muscles and joints first.  Have fun!!
