18 Wildly Juicy Events In '90s Movie History

"I had heard these stories: 'If your movie does well, be prepared. You could get a huge payday.' I think it was a week or two after the movie came out. We get this call: 'Jeffrey (Katzenberg, then chairman of Walt Disney Studios) wants to see you upstairs.'” 

Zaloom thought he and the film's director Les Mayfield were going to get that payday, but that wasn't quite it.

"He was like, 'Guys, I got a little surprise for you.' I’m thinking, 'Is it a hundred thousand? Is it a million? Maybe it’s a car,'" Zaloom told Inverse.

"Jeffrey gets up, opens the door. And it’s Goofy! Like, Goofy from the park strollers. Jeffrey’s like, 'Hey, Goofy!' And Goofy gives him a nod, and this big white hand pats Jeffrey on the head. He’s like, 'Guys. Goofy has something for you.' And from behind his back, [Goofy] whips out two envelopes. They’re super thick. It’s like one of those mob movies where they slide the envelope full of cash over the table."

Zaloom continued, "I took the envelope and I put it in my pocket. Jeffrey’s like, 'No, no, come on. Open it up.' 'OK. We’ll open them up.' It’s got to be hundreds of thousands of dollars. I open it up and I pull the money out. It's Disney dollars! The look on my entire face — I was like, 'It’s Disney dollars!' He was like, 'Yeah, you can spend these at the park!'”
