    I would LOVE to see this event return now a days. I think it would be a great PR move for all involved and a good way to get money to charities.

      Not to mention, way cheaper to do nowadays. I used to work for a smaller market local TV station. You can fit the same functionality of one of those Sat-Trucks into a backpack now and stream it back to your home station from wherever you have LTE.

    Conveniently, after ending the games, various TGIF sitcoms on ABC started having episodes where they visited the parks, experiencing what was new.

    The goofy games might have stopped because they started advising thru the ABC series like boys meets world and full house during the 90's.. I feel like those shows got more exposure than a smaller event like goofy games. I know as a kid I was always excited when my favorite sitcom went to disney world and it never really felt like one long 30min ad but it was.. 😅

    Looks like Euro Disney was the cause for every cancelled or downsized project at Disney in the 90s
    (that's pretty sad considering it's the closest disney park to me...)

    It always reminded me of the Battle of The Network Stars. That ended in the late 80s. Entertainment just kind of moved away from that era... They should bring it back now for the nostalgia.

  • @miker6570
    @miker6570 6 лет назад +6

    Why don't they bring this back. They now have the wide world of sports complex so they already have the facilities to host it. Maybe instead of every year maybe just have it every 2 to 4 years to coincide with the olympics. And maybe instead of broadcasting it on tv livestream it say on facebook.

    I always liked watching the cheesy special Disney things like this, as a kid. They always seemed like they weren't *strictly* for profit or only happening so they can bash people over the head with, I mean, promote their newest movie, spin off, or remake..
    Great video :-)

    This is the first time I have ever heard of the Goofy Games, but I can certainly see how smart of a campaign it was at the time! While it was a huge undertaking, it still seems a little less forced/obvious than today's marketing strategies.
