You've seen yesterday some pictures and videos of the new Goofy's Paint 'n' Play House" that opened last friday at TDL Toon Town. The exterior design of the house looks perfect for a Goofy house and the house itself was already there - they just changed the interior for the new interactive attraction. But when i saw it i knew it reminded me something... Sure, the same Goofy house was previously built at Disneyland Anaheim Toon Town but, going back to one of my previous article in tribute to former WDI Imagineer Hani El Masri that i've posted four years ago i found back Hani's original concept that WDI used for this Goofy's Paint 'n' Play House".
You can see at the top Hani's original artwork and below two others pictures provided by Hani which look like pictures of a model but they are in fact are showing a collectible item of the Goofy's house that was released at Disneyland when Toon Town opened.
But, according to Hani, the TDL Goofy's house version is closer to his original concept. Apparently, at TDL they got it right with the house tower that you can see behind the front on the top picture of yesterday's article. Hani also did for Toon Town the concept that you can see below for Minnie's House which was also built both at DL and TDL.

Hani deserves a lot of credit for the look and feel of Toon Town! I remember seeing his concept of Goofy's House... It looked like if you closed the door too hard it would fall down!
