We are delighted to award the prestigious Molière CELEBRATION to Goofy, and his “human” voice, Bill Farmer!

For as long as we can remember, it’s been a mystery.  If Pluto and Goofy are both dogs, how come Goofy talks and wears pants, but Pluto only barks and wears only a collar?

At long last, Bill Farmer (Goofy’s voice — and Pluto doesn’t have one) has let the cat (?) out of the bag.

Even so, just because Bill has revealed that Goofy isn’t a garden variety canine, it’s not clear what species he might be, other than a Darwinian one-off.

“I think Canis Goofus is the technical Latin term for what Goofy is. He’s just Goofy,” says Bill.

We’re just going with that, and bestowing the Molière Celebration jointly on the character and voice actor.}

BTW, for you Peter Pan aficionados, does anyone know what Captain Hook’s name was before the crocodile bit off his hand?
