Yeah, that’s how I framed it. “But Pete was right! Max stayed up to find Santa and it really was just his dad the whole time.”

I just needed to bombard him with examples of Pete not telling the truth and then got him focused on something else before he could think about it.

Goofy movie was accidentally deleted and they had to remake it. In an alternate universe, I wonder if the titles would have made sense.

Also, there’s a Christmas special with Goofy and Max on D+ and it makes a very strong argument that there is no Santa and it’s just your parents. Even my 3yo groked it, and I had to explain that Pete was a bad guy who only said things to hurt Goofy and Max. Wtf Disney.
