I gotta say, one of my all time favorite parts of this movie was when Goofy was angry at Max. i mean even though i like Goofy being cheerful all time it was actually really satisfying to see him display genuine anger for a change, especially because it proves that even the most cheerful person alive can feel angry sometimes.

[@laurenaspreyart]

I was thinking the same thing! I wish there was a name for moments like these when a character expresses an emotion they don’t normally show. It’s kinda fascinating to me because you get to see what makes them tick. I also like the fact he became dead silent which contrasts with his talkative nature. It creates a tense feeling that builds and I really like it.

[@joetophat2121]

One of the best scenes in the movie was when Max and Goofy are in the car and they're about to make their big turn. Goofy hardly says anything but you know what he's thinking from his expressions. At first he looks disappointed finding out his son deceived him. Despite knowing he changed the map Goofy still has Max make the call on which way they go, left or right. You can hear it in his voice that Goofy wants Max to make the right decision. Ultimately, Max doesn't. Now, Goofy had been angry in the classic shorts and Goof Troop, but those were played for laughs. Here, it's taken seriously. Goofy knows his son just lied to him. Throughout the movie he tolerated Max's moodiness but Max has finally crossed a line. I love how Goofy doesn't say a word, it makes this moment more powerful than anything he could have said. Max tries to act casual but that seems to anger Goofy even more. Angry Goofy is a scary sight. To Max's credit, he seems to realize his dad knows what he just did and tries to explain himself. I don't think Max meant any disrespect towards his dad, it's just that he's desperate to pull off this lie he told Roxanne and he didn't really think his plan through. We know he's not a bad kid, he just made stupid decisions. Even if Goofy never learned Max tampered with the map, he's gonna notice they're in LA and not Lake Destiny. Goofy is stupid, but he's not that stupid. I love the line where Goofy says, "Why bother, I'm probably too stupid to understand, right?" This plan assumes he's that stupid and Goofy takes that as an insult.

I'm still really hopeful for a "Goof Troop" reboot that takes place after college where it focuses on Max and Roxeanne's family trying to live daily life, where Goofy shows up as the loveable Granpa to Max's kids, PJ, Max, and Bobby work together, Roxeanne and Stacy work together, and Bobby and Stacy used to date. It would be fun to have that where the series can have two separate focuses on both the adult characters (for older fans who grew up with the series/movies), and the kids for the younger audience who never watched the original series.

It's a 90's movie sure but a excellent one to be honest. A goofy movie is one of Disney's best movies from the era that had highlights like Beauty and the beast and The Lion King but I feel like this movie is a great honorable mention to that era's big hits they had. Wired to see goofy this silly, fun guy turn into this serious and mature one that we never got to see till this movie. Just looking at piss off goofy makes you go, "Oh you really screwed things up with your dad Max to get him this mad!", A Classic then and now as touching too being a good reflection of parents with their kids.

The scene where goofy sees that max really did change it but rather asks him for directions on the road to see if he would try to keep the facade going only to be disappointed when he gives him directions to LA rather than Lake Destiny is one my favorite scenes in the whole movie (which already sets a really high bar since the whole movie is filled with nothing but love) Edit: also the "Nobody else but you" song goes hard at lmao but the powerpoint one was goated too Edit 2: just found out the song actually is called "Nobody else but you"😂

[@brianlevine871]

This movie is such a great nostalgia trip for me, both as something I enjoyed as a kid and being a 90s time capsule. Seriously, the way they captured the environment at the time of its development felt very genuine, like with the backgrounds, technology, and clothing. I also really admire how they used the 'Perfect Cast' fishing technique as a way to help Goofy and Max connect with each other, like when Max used said technique to save Goofy during the waterfall scene and when they turned it into a dance move at the Powerline concert. It was a perfect element to tie in the 'parent/child bonding' theme of the movie, especially for the final song. As for the character designs, even as a kid I always preferred the 1930s-40s cartoon look for Goofy compared to the smaller eyes he had in the 1950s shorts and "Goof Troop." Not to say I was against the latter appearance, nor that I disliked said cartoons with that look (I actually enjoyed them, too), but the design where the eyes fully encompass the top half of Goofy's head just seemed more appealing to me. So personally, I was glad this movie retained that aesthetic for Goofy and Pete. Whatever you're looking at from Osamu Tezuka, I can't wait.

[@AJ17_]

I was in my 20s when this movie came out, but I love Disney/Goofy, so of course I went to see it. To this day, it's one of the funniest and most heartfelt movies I've ever seen. The Lester's Possum Park scene absolutely kills me every time (first time I saw it, I was laughing so hard, I had tears streaming down my face). I love that it's finally getting the attention/respect that it's always deserved.

[@tedsowards]

Lester’s Possum Park. This alone proves the movie is premium.

I will say that I could never relate to characters like Max at all because I've never been embarrassed of my parents, so I always got angry and sad whenever he would lash out at Goofy. If anything, I'm the one who (unintentionally) embarrasses my parents in the public.

[@solacehealer7589]

Pete to me seems jealous of Goofy. He constantly notices how good Goofy is with kids and subtly cuts him down. Every time Goofy tries to be a friend to Max, Pete tries to change him.

[@TheGamePlushShowTGPS]

What I love about this movie is how relatable it is to teens and parents. Having your kids grow and start rely on themselves. Seeing goofy just wanting to be part of max growing up hits hard. And seeing goofy and max come together as they bond throughout the course of the movie is also really strong. Even if they are both a bunch of goofballs making mistakes. They are still able to come together

[@McCraeTheMediaLover]

What I liked about this movie is the brilliant voice acting. Bill Farmer manages to show his range as Goofy here even when’s he upset or angry. Jason Marsden’s performance as Max sounds like a real-life teenager trying to struggle and achieve everything in life. Jim Cummings performance as Pete,when he’s trying to give advice to Goofy on how to be a good father was just so realistic and emotional. Pauly Shore as Bobby was a perfect casting choice. and Wallace Shawn was outright scary here as Principal Mazur,when he’s angrily calling Goofy for what Max did at the assembly and threatens to put him in the electric chair.

[@lelandatkinson5470]

Wallace Shawn as Principal Mazur is brilliant! The scene of him calling Goofy just sounds like Rex from Toy Story is yelling at him that Max will be sentenced to death if he doesn’t change how he raises him.

[@arbytv5139]

To mark AniMat finally reviewing one of my all-time favorite animated Disney movies, it’s time for ArbyTV’s top 10 fun facts about A Goofy Movie #10. In addition to his cameo alongside Donald Duck, Mickey Mouse also makes a cameo appearance in the crowd at the powerline concert at the end of the film. #9. In addition to their cameo during the song “On the Open Road“, both Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck are referenced earlier in the film. After the opening nightmare scene when PJ calls Max on his phone, Max‘s phone is a Mickey Mouse phone, which is a classic real life piece of Mickey Mouse merchandise. Also, when Max comes home to find Goofy packing for the trip, he mentions Donald Duck as Goofy‘s supposed “Best buddy” he’s spending his vacation with. It’s also a reference to classic cartoons that starred Goofy and Donald Duck. #8 Among the plushies at Goofy‘s job as a department store children’s photographer, you can see a plush of Simba from “The Lion King” and a plush of the titular protagonist of 1942s animated classic, “Bambi“. Goofy even gives the Bambi plush to the little girl. #7 Ariel from Disney’s animated classic “The Little Mermaid“ makes two cameo appearances in the movie. First, she can be seen as a cardboard cut out behind PJ and Bobby Zimmeruski at the beginning of the film after they and Max get busted for hijacking that morning‘s pep rally. Second, she appears as a lamp at the Neptune Inn hotel where Max and Goofy stay. #6 The film’s Director, Kevin Lima would later direct two other Disney movies. He directed their 1999 animated film, “Tarzan” a long side Chris Buck, The latter of whom would later direct Sony Pictures Animation’s 2007 film “Surf‘s Up” then return to Disney to direct their 2013 animated phenomenon, “Frozen” and it’s mediocre 2019 sequel. Back on to Kevin Lima, he would also direct Disney’s 2007 live action/animated fan favorite, “Enchanted”, in which he also voiced Pip the chipmunk when in New York City. Also, in this film, Kevin Lima did the voice of Roxanne‘s dad and Lester the possum. #5 originally, Jeffrey Katzenberg wanted for Goofy not to sound like Goofy, and wanted him to sound more like Steve Martin, much to the chagrin of Disney’s animators and Goofy‘s voice actor, Bill Farmer (the latter of whom I had the pleasure of meeting at a supercon in 2014). #4 There are two popular songs used in this movie, “High Hopes“ and “Staying Alive“ by The Bee Gees. The former can be heard on the radio cassette in Goofy‘s car when he and Max fight between that and rock music on the radio. The latter can be heard during the scene when Goofy and Max are trapped in their car by Bigfoot. After Goofy gets the alphabet soup and narrowly dodges Bigfoot, A pair of earphones fall on Bigfoot‘s head after he bumps into the car. The music playing on the earphones that he dances to is “Stayin’ Alive” by the Bee Gees. #3. Powerline, the popstar idolized by Max and his peers, is voiced by Singer and songwriter, Tevin Cambell, Who is best known for music genres like R&B, pop, and soul. #2 The keychain of Goofy’s car keys features the Disney D logo. * Honorable mention #1 for some reason, Pauly Shore, the voice of Bobby Zimmeruski in the film, was left uncredited. Similarly to Kathleen Turner being uncredited as the voice of Jessica rabbit in “Who framed Roger Rabbit” * Honorable mention #2 Aaron Lohr, the singing voice of Max in this film, is the husband of Idina Menzel, known for originally playing Elphaba In the Broadway musical hit “Wicked”, playing Nancy Tremaine in Disney’s 2007 live action/animated film “Enchanted “, and of course, the voice of Elsa in Disney’s 2013 animated sensation, “Frozen” (and it’s unimpressive 2019 sequel) #1. When Goofy tries to play 20 questions with Max during the beginning of their road trip, one of the answers he gives is Walt Disney. Max also does the same thing later on in the film. If there are any other fun facts you’d like to share, or ones that I’ve missed, please feel free to leave any below.

[@hunterolaughlin]

Of course, only someone like Jeffrey Katzenberg would want to replace a veteran voice actor with a more recognizable celebrity to make the film more “modern” for audiences. A similar case happened during an animated film that came out 10 years later after A Goofy Movie, “Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit” when Dreamworks wanted to replace Wallace’s then voice actor the late Peter Sallis with a more recognizable celebrity. Luckily, both Kevin Lima and Nick Park had the guts to stand up and reject the idea. I can’t imagine Goofy being voiced by somebody else other than Bill Farmer.

❤💖 To be honest, I truly loved and adored this movie as a kid in my nostaglic childhood memories. I remembered watching this movie in my VHS Tape 📽🎞🎬📼 player and still works to this day. I truly loved the relationship between Goofy and his son Max as they may have different goals and personalities and the writing does an amazing job establishing between the two in a big road trip. I did cried during emotional scenes like the soup scene and the waterfall climax scene. Out of all the movies there, this is a father-son relationship animated movie done right! And one of the best animated films based on TV cartoon next to the first SpongeBob SquarePants Movie, the first two Rugrats movies, the Simpsons Movie and the 2017 My Little Pony the Movie. This movie does have a good lesson and theme regarding the relationship between the parents and their children where we shouldn't take our loved ones for granted because you'll never know when is their last day to live. You have to spend time with your parents to enjoyed your happy good moments. 😃😀😄😁😊😉 👍🏻 💖❤

One thing that I want to highlight about A Goofy Movie is that it seems to have a commentary about generation gap. This rings relevant with the "ok Boomer" meme being used by millennials to dismiss any condescension from older generation. The radio scene is one part as Goofy and Max fight over which song to listen to. Max begins to dislike Goofy for making him come to an awful vacation. However, we see that despite their generation gap, both Max and Goofy do make a compromise to work together and care for one another as father and son. So yeah, who knew A Goofy Movie had some meaningful layers to it?

[@diggerfan9319]

This is one of the movies I watched the most growing up and I learned I was not alone when I was in a sea of 90's kids watching this almost regularly on VHS and when the internet arose, I was astonished by how A Goofy Movie became very popular to the point where people on KZbin covered all the songs and the movie still was being talked about even more than 20 years after it's release, so AniMat this was one of those rare moments where you can take a Disney character like Goofy and have him and his son Max have a good road trip movie with a timeless soundtrack and impressive animation that is so timeless. And of course a sequel would follow through with An Extremely Goofy Movie, which had little to do with this, but it is nice we got to see the characters of Goof Troop/A Goofy Movie come back. I wish they would have made a third film to catch up on the events with a grown up Max dealing with the same dilemma he had with his dad with his son, and Goofy wanting to make some reconnections with Max again, and maybe we can see supporting characters like Roxanne, Pete, PJ, and even Bobby back with their original voices. But if they do it they must do it in 2025 for a third Goofy movie.

Easy to state this is a personal favorite. Along with other favorite movies like the Emperor new groove, Robin hood, Aladdin, and more... A Goofy movie is definitely on my list. Goofy has to be the best way to take favorite character to explore that there more to him then being... well a goofball. Not to mention a rare character to ever even have a kid aside from Donald's nephews.

[@gamerhero9559]

I love this movie as a kid, this is the only good road trip type movie I ever seen back then.

[@samanthaparker6]

Disney peaked with A Goofy Movie

[@flaminfighter-kracker220]

This film totally deserves the Animat seal of approval and I would honestly give it a 9/10, and for having such a well blended soundtrack.

[@jessamyers8761]

I was 8 when this came out and it's still one of my absolute favorites. The scene where Max changes the map always gave me the worst anxiety, in a fun and good way.

[@shyartistry]

This is genuinely my favorite disney movie ever, I love it, I love the relationship between Goofy and Max, I enjoy the animation and the story, and I absolutely adore the Music! I have basically every song on my Spotify haha, so I wont accept your criticisms to it

[@claytonrios1]

Speaking of puberty... Well you'll see when you review Turning Red.

[@hunterolaughlin]

Except Turning Red’s take on puberty seems more funnier compared to the opening of A Goofy Movie.

[@claytonrios1]

@@hunterolaughlin It is funny don't get me wrong but it's also a bit edgier than I expected from a Pixar film. But also in a way that feels like it still works for a young audience.

[@shamdenzabloinki]

my mom showed me this movie on dvd when i was prolly 8 or 9 and i was surrounded around disney as a kid (theme parkts n all) and i would watch it over and over again for so long, i didnt watch it for such a long time until Disney plus released and it brought back some memories for sure

[@jazzykingjack2846]

I watched this movie over and over again when I had the vhs tape of it. I loved this movie myself growing up in the late 90s into the early 2000s. I loved it then I still do now. It's one of Disney's gems and a movie gem in general.

[@FlowerPhantom]

Finally! I have been requesting this one for you for years!!! This is one of my favorite childhood movies. ❤️ I am so lucky that I got to meet the cast at the D23 Expo 2015 and got an autograph picture from Bill Farmer, Jason Mardsen, and Rob Paulsen.

[@anthonypena5046]

Wow. AniMat did Classic Reviews on three animated films released by Disney in 1995.

[@THERSC216]

After the "Atlanta" episode the love of this movie will grow and grow

[@nicolascangele5548]

He Gets Two Punishments During That Film

[@superrj3478]

Goofy is my favorite Disney character and this is one of my favorite Disney movies. Great timing on reviewing this movie on my birthday AniMat.

[@paul3463]

Amazing video! Thanks for all you do! ✌

[@asxmeggy5049]

This is a Childhood classic of mine

[@g.g.h.v1216]

It's about time you review this Animat. Great Job on the review

[@Oscar95451]

A Gooby Movie.

[@ryancooke2214]

I can actually relate to Max in a way because there are times where things can be met half way through situations and they are times where boundaries can get tested and pushed but another thing picturing what we would have in common is we both love music and love to wear blue jeans 👖 and blue pants

[@DiegoHernandez-xt2su]

Max: Uhhh Walt Disney? Goofy: DON’T EVER TALK ABOUT MY FATHER!!!!!!! *Angry*

[@jeffreysnydr]

Well, Goofy's father was really Art Babbitt who got fired by Walt in the 1940s...so, you can't really blame him for being pissed at the mention of Walt's name.

[@cintronproductions9430]

Was that an Owl House reference?

[@SIMBA-tq2ch]

i said many times before and i'll say it again: WHEN WILL YOU REVIEW BROTHER BEAR?!?!

[@LeoRedgrave]

Oh hell yeah we seeing this eye to eye

[@CaptainCJ97]

Remember watching this many times on Disney Channel in the 2000s before &after school really enjoy it still do

[@PeterGriffin11]

Goofy movie is probably my favorite Disney film along with it's sequel and if I2I was a Disney original song it would be hands down the best Disney song it would completely blow Let It Go and We Don't Talk About Bruno out of the castle.

[@hunterolaughlin]

Ironic it wasn’t nominated for Best Original Song at the 68th Academy Awards.

[@walthersorsa4847]

Man this is very enjoyable movie and soundtrack is truly music to my ears. Great review Animat and take care and stay safe 👍.

[@drewhowe3446]

Sometime, you should do a Classic Review of Animaniacs: Wakko’s Wish

[@Andres-TM]

This one and the Tigger Movie are some of my fav Disney movies. You gotta do a review on that movie too sometime!

[@joelblake5310]

Not sure what else to say here, but this movie is just charming and needs more recognition.

[@troy2428]

for me the A Goofy movie is 10/10 i wish they could reboot the sequel and have Max and Roxanne together

[@alexklepp6479]

I 2 I perfectly encapsulates what the film is about. If we listen to each other, we can understand each other better and we can grow closer as a result.

[@peytonmichael9898]

I haven't seen this one in forever, so I'll need to rewatch it.

[@kevinlockhart2000]

A goofy movie The story: 9/10 The animation: 7/10 The characters: 9/10 The songs: 8/10 The movie: 8/10 After watching this review I actually want to watch this movie, I have disney+ anyway so it won't be hard finding it.

[@DragonKazooie89]

I just wish they didn’t crop it to widescreen on Disney+
