May 26, 2015 marked the 20th Anniversary of the release of Disney's A Goofy Movie. In celebration, here are some fun facts that you may not know about the movie about a goof and his son.
Jason Marsden played more than one animal in his career.
While he did play Max, he also played Thackary Binx voice (as a cat) in Hocus Pocus, reprised his role of Max many times, and was the voice of Kovu in Lion King II: Simba's Pride.
The character of Powerline was based on both Prince and Michael Jackson.
Quite a lot to live up to there.
P.J.'s initials stand for something very simple.
He's named after his father, and his name is "Pete Junior."
Hidden Mickey:
Max has a Mickey Mouse phone on his dresser and he appears in the crowd at the Powerline concert.
Powerline's costume is a parody of outfits worn by a famous band.
The group Devo would dress up in HazMat costumes.
This movie is the only time that Star Trek is referenced by Disney.
Slightly awkward now that they own Star Wars.
This movie answers the question "Where does Goofy live?"
According to the road trip map, they are from Columbus, Ohio.

The Pearl by John Steinbeck
‘The Pearl’ is a well-known by under-read classic and, as a teacher, many of my students have absolutely loved it. Not just because it is short, but because it presents a storyline that is interesting and corrupting. Easy to read and easier to analyse, ‘The Pearl’ is one of Steinbeck’s hardest hitting classics with an underlying message about protecting what is actually important. By the end of the book, the reader is left defeated and believing in the wrong thing. The idealism around this book is incredible and it is so dark too. For a long while you are supporting the wrong people, thinking in the wrong way and the whole story becomes one long act of misdirection by Steinbeck to show in a ‘Monkey’s Paw’ fashion why we should never chase wealth and status.

Book Review: "Limitarianism" by Ingrid Robeyns
I was seeing this book everywhere on the Penguin Books Twitter page and on news websites regarding newly released nonfiction. Had I ever wanted to read a book about economic inequality? No. Why? I'll be frank. I find it difficult to understand economic jargon. So again, I have had to sit with Google open in order to look up things I don't fully understand. In this relatively short book, the author seems to go through many ideas about how 'limitarianism' could work and basically makes a great case against having a large sum of wealth which could in turn, increase economic inequality. Let's take a look at some of the main talking points and what I thought of them.
