The director of Nicolas Cage’s new survival horror movie Arcadian has shockingly revealed that the movie’s distinctive monster is actually inspired by a very well-known and beloved animated character… Disney’s Goofy.
"From the beginning, I had this idea of big nocturnal eyes, and massive spaced-out teeth, teeth way too big for the creature’s mouth. Goofy, the Disney character, was a big inspiration," said director Ben Brewer in an interview with IGN, before explaining that the incentive particularly came from a childhood fear of his – the scene in A Goofy Movie where Goofy’s son Max has a nightmare about turning into his father.
