Goofy does plenty of the obligatory crashing-through-walls pratfalls in A Goofy Movie, but Farmer also gets plenty of legit emotional beats and quiet moments; it’s really nice. Casting Goofy as a struggling blue-collar widower dad is a surprisingly effective choice, and Goofy falls down only because he’s trying so hard to keep the plates spinning. Farmer nails it in the movie.
I'm one of the people who loves Something Wicked This Way Comes. I'm also a big fan of Jonathan Pryce, have been since I saw him in Terry Gilliam's Brazil long ago. While Gilliam hit a rough patch in later years, I don't feel that Pryce did, evidenced by his wonderfully sly performance as the High Sparrow in Game of Thrones. As Mr. Dark, he shines, his menacing presence remaining one of my favorites (in a PG movie) from my youth. He won't stand a chance against Pacino, who has become more and more frantic in his performances since the 90s, in my opinion. But I'll take the loss here, knowing I've been true to my heart.

Seeing Lane as Pseudolos in A Funny Thing is one of my favorite theater memories. What a presence.
