Adam and Eve in the garden of Eden. Eve saw snake near the tree. Eve got some idea. Eve picked up the snake, shove it up her vajayjay and pegged Adam. God saw it. God banished them, flaming swoed and all.
We’re at a crossroads of localization theory: do we prioritize semantic fidelity, preserving the literal meaning of the words as you suggest? Or do we prioritize phonetic fidelity, sacrificing exact meaning to perfectly substitute the rhyme of 'fuck' with 'hyuck'?
At Disney World I was told by someone running a workshop on how to draw Disney characters that Goofy is “technically a man”. Do with that information as you will.
Goofy is more evolved. The difference between Goofy and Pluto is like the difference between you and a chimpanzee. They're both dogs, you're both apes. But there's a clear evolutionary difference.
But seriously Disney has always been kinda weird when it came to animals with human emotions and sentience but then ....they have pets like real world pets.
If I remember correctly Pete, Goofys neighbor in gooftroop (which totally holds up by the way), also had a little pet dog ....and they were cats ....with dog neighbors. I think Goofy had a cat in that series too
have you ever seen a wet owl...? Maybe he is like that, when he is wet his feathers reveal too much ;) Which would be funny considering he is a duck...
Of course he has to wear something or he would be naked and we couldn't have that. And socks are not very comfortable on duck feet or other duck places. /Jk
I also very much like the wet owl idea posed by the other person.
I was at a friend's party, buffet style breakfast food. The dog won't let me go out the front door to smoke, so I head out back to have a cigarette and hang out with the chickens. I snagged a few sausages on the way and share them with the birds. They loved them.
Everyone's looking at me funny when I get back in. Turns out, those were chicken sausages...
It's okay, chickens will cannibalize each other at the drop of a hat, so it's perfectly fine for any other species, birds included, to eat them. In terms of brain capacity, chickens are just above self-propelled vegetables.
There was a strange feeling of 'this is perfectly fair!' when I tried alligator for the first time. I don't think I've eaten any other animal that could actually eat me if I wasn't already dead.
Depends on the rules of the universe but sometimes an anthro animal having a pet isn't that weird. An anthro dog with a pet dog would be like a human having a pet monkey.
human emotions and sentience but then ....they have pets like real world pets
Personally I dont get why people find that weird. IMO its kinda like humans and chimpanzee, similar but breached out long ago into two different species. One is sapient and the other is not so not sapient end either as wild animals or pets
The problem is people still seeing them as "animals" (Goofy is a dog) and not as people which is what they are in their series
I mean. That's a bit the same like saying it's weird we on earth have domesticated corgies, but we also still have grey wolves. Or that we have humans but also still have chimpanzees. Just because some species have developed, doesn't mean their less developed counterparts have just stopped existing on our earth.
Goofy is not a dog. He's a goof. His name is Goofy Goof, like his friends Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck. If there's evolution in Mickey's world, it's the equivalent of a human and a monkey, 2 divergent paths from a shared ancestor.
Goofy just has a better agent. I have this from Goofy's own mouth. (attended a panel with Bill Farmer, and he got the inevitable question, and gave that answer. The extra funny thing, of course, is that he's also Pluto's voice actor...)
I'm not one to kink shame, but even Walt Disney knew something about this relationship was a little... Unorthodox. I'm just sorry we had to drag Bluey into it. Not that sorry.
Be sure to stop by next Friday and the following one for a couple spooooky Halloween specials! And of course Tuesday for Bonus Comic "Second Coming".
Thanks for reading and I hope you have a great weekend!
At the end of Runaway Railway at Disneyland, after you meet back up with Goofy, you can hear him finishing a thought: "...and that's why Pluto wears a collar and I don't!"
