Acting like a dog, does not make Goofy a dog. PS, what's the deal with this "Ren and Stimpy" style Mickey cartoon? Not classy at all.

I read an article some time back where the reporter was "interviewing" Goofy about The Goofy Movie, and the reporter brought the Pluto/Goofy thing up. Goofy's response: "I'm not sure about that either...I think I'm the missing link between dog and man!"

Not to mention the Safari,
It feels fun and it makes you feel like you are with the animals, even though the animals are in conditions like staying in their part because it was built for them, but still no walls tricks instead

No, Goofy is definitely an anthropomorphic dog. His original last name was literally 'Dawg.' Goof is his family name.
Though this feels like a silly argument.
No, it's a ... wait for it ... Goofy argument.

They've been at that look for years now. It's my understanding, that's to be the style of what's replacing GMR. :/

Camp Minnie Mickey was designed from the start to be bulldozed though. It was literally trees and characters. That’s it.
Also, let’s not forget that Magic Kingdom also had a land dedicated to the mouse that also was razed. It doesn’t mean it didn’t fit, just that it was time for bigger and better things.
“Keep moving forward!”

Seems people either love the new style or hate it. I personally love it. I'd say it's a generational thing, but (at least based on your profile), you're essentially the same age as I am, so I'm not sure. If you want to complain about the art style, sure, I get that... but I feel like the writing and pacing of these new shorts are so spot on (Ducktails too) that if you can get past the art style, they're REALLY enjoyable (at least I find they are).

The aesthetic (especially Goofy's character design) was very off-putting to me until I sat down to watch a few. Now I'm subscribed to the official Youtube channel
. It really helped modernize Mickey and friends for a contemporary audience and he now feels relevant again in the current cartoon landscape.

I HATE the way Goofy looks. But other than that I like the new shorts. The visuals on the new Ducktales seems like a perfect middleground between the classic looks and the modern shorts
Not sure how, or maybe why, Goofy looking like he just came off of a 3-day bender is "appealing to contemporary audiences".

I think I'm technically just older than the targeted audience of the new cartoons, and while I can enjoy the plots, the style is still offputting to me, especially Goofy. Why did they change the color of his eyes to make it look like he's been on a drug fueled craze? Otherwise, the changing facial expressions that scrunch of the lips and pull the eye-lids up just looks off to me, and some reason kind of gross.

They were taking inspiration from the original design..Not sure how, or maybe why, Goofy looking like he just came off of a 3-day bender is "appealing to contemporary audiences".
Then former Cartoon Network Director Paul Rudish took his concept and beat it with a dead horse..

Yeah
Feels like it was meant for younger audiences and it is more cartoony like and has the feel of old cartoons but refreshed to now. Feels awkward. I do like the new cartoons as well.
