Pluto and goofy5/7/2023 ![]() When we got the footage, we looked at it, and the stuff of me playing with the dogs jumped out at us and I said, “I think it’d be better if we just did a show about dogs and their jobs.” So, along with Jennifer, we came up with this idea and a sizzle reel about me stepping out from behind the microphone, after voicing Goofy and Pluto for 30 years, and finding out about real working dogs. And he asked me to be the host of it, just to pitch the idea. There are no foxes up there, so it’s basically to exercise the horses and the dogs. The horses there go on rides with their hounds, like those old English fox hunts. ![]() There was a local equestrian center that he was gonna do a story on, for a little local, “Here’s what’s happening in Reno,” kind of thing. He lived in Reno and was gonna do a television show up there. I have a good friend, who’s been a friend for almost 20 years, Steve Duval, who’s one of the executive producers on our show, along with my wife Jennifer, and he was a cameraman on the show The Amazing Race for about 25 seasons. How did this all come about? Who had the idea and how did this happen?įARMER: It was a joint effort. I’m very happy with the way it came out and I hope that the audience thinks so, too. Throughout the 10 episodes, you’ll meet dogs from around the country who do incredible jobs, from the wild to the weird, while also learning about everyday hero canines, and getting some fun appearances from those famous animated dogs Goofy and Pluto.ĭuring this 1-on-1 phone interview with Collider, voice actor Bill Farmer, who’s the show’s host and executive producer, talked about how this idea came about, pitching the show to Disney, how his own curiosity drives what happens in each episode, how he originally came to be a voice actor, the differences between voicing Goofy versus voicing Pluto, the idea that he’d like to kick off Season 2 with if they get to do more episodes, what it means to him to be a Disney Legend, and learning how to do his voice work from home in the age of coronavirus until it’s safe to be in the recording studio again.Ĭollider: I was just so delighted by this show and absolutely loved it.īILL FARMER: Oh, I’m glad. ![]() Disney Legend Bill Farmer, who’s been the voice of Goofy and Pluto for more than 30 years, has stepped out from behind the microphone to explore the world of dogs for the Disney+ series It’s a Dog’s Life. ![]()
