zenithspider When I was younger there were a bunch of movies that I would watch and thought were spectacular! Problem was now that i'm older, i'm realising that quite a few of them weren't as amazing as I thought. So remembering the goofy movie and how much I loved it, I was afraid it wouldn't stand the test of time. But thankfully I was wrong. The movie actually has a really realistic setting. A father trying to connect with his kid, and a kid trying to reach some idiotic fantasy of what it means to be cool. It's funny, not the funniest animated movie i've seen but defernitally gets a few laughs. It has some good film techniques in it, and it can be a bit cheese at times but hey, it's Disney, that's kinda there whole selling point.So in short. The goofy movie is a surprising gem of Disney that adults and young people can enjoy.

FilmBuff1994 A Goofy Movie is a great movie with a very well developed plot and a terrific voice cast. It's an enjoyable, very quick ride, lasting only eighty minutes. In this short amount of time we experience terrific character development between Goofy and Max, his son who is actually the lead role in this film despite what the title may suggest. It's a very sweet film about the complicated relationship between this father and son, as Goofy must cope with the fact that his little boy is growing up and is no longer interested in spending time with him, in the end the two learn that they both truly love and appreciate one another. It is a lot more powerful than you would expect a movie with Goofy as a main character to be. I think the conflicted emotions between these family members can stand out as something very relatable to anyone.I do think that, for a children's film, it's a bit too depressing, the first fifty minutes of the movie is mainly Goofy and Max traveling across country together despite both having very different views on their relationship. There are moments where we see Goofy truly feeling like he hit rock bottom and has lost everything he's ever loved. This serves as a great story arc but I felt that it was a bit too dramatic at times and should have had more happy and upbeat moments in between to keep kids happy.The musical numbers in this film are outstanding, all of them have a really upbeat and feel good tune to it that you can not help but smile to. They also serve as great character development for Max and Goofy, particularly Nobody Else But You, a song that shows how much they truly appreciate each other, and that the bond is still very strong between them despite the difficulties they have had in the past. Funny, sweet and filled with charming characters, A Goofy Movie takes Mickey Mouse's silly sidekick and establishes him as a three dimensional character, I would recommend it to anyone looking for a good family film. After landing a date with the girl of his dreams, Max is suddenly forced to go on a father-son vacation with his dad Goofy.

Kitegr I never though that this movie would be any good, until I saw it on Cinema when I was little. I didn't remember this movie to be that good until I re-watched it as an adult.This movie capture the relation between father and son perfectly. On one side you have a typical child having a crush on a girl as he tries to act cool and draws her attention in every opportunity, and on the other side is the most uncool father a child would ever wish to have that could ruin his reputation in an instant. Max values "coolness" greatly and tries to sever any relation he has with his goofy bloodline (even though his bloodline is occasionally catching up to him in the form of embarrassing Goofyish trademark subconscious laughs). Goofy on the other hand is the caring father, that is oblivious of the worlds recent trends, have no idea what being cool is or how his action can damage his son's reputation, and believe that every experience he had at his younger years, will work just as well on his son. Thus begin an journey where Goofy will learn to respect his son and realize that not two people are the same, and Max will have to accept and learn to appreciate his father for what he is.Also worth to note is that there is no main villain in this movie. Disney's traditional antagonist Black Pit plays an important role, but he never does anything bad, he does't sabotage the heroes's goal in any way, he don't wish bad for them, he does't get punished in the end, he even tries to help the occasionally with advices that he thinks are good. His role in the story is to represent a different opinion of how a father should interact with his son, and even though he is presented as the bad example, there is no solid proof that his model is entirely wrong.This movie could had worked as well with any random cast of characters, but for some reason Disney threw goofy in those shoes, and that was both good and bad. On the good side, Goofy's recognizably goofy and slapstick personality fits perfectly the uncool father, without making him annoying to the viewer. On the bad side, most people thought of this movie as a long Goofy cartoon and it didn't get the recognition it deserves.The movie designed to entertain and teach equally to both the child and the parrent. You should give it a shot.

Meaghan Edwards In spite of having been a faithful Goof Troop regular watcher when it aired, I hadn't watched A Goofy Movie until yesterday, 16 years since it was in theatres. And I have to say, I have no regrets! The movie was far more deeper than I imagined. I expected a lighthearted movie with plenty of laughs, and I got that, and more, and I was impressed by how well they fleshed out the characters. I would definitely consider A Goofy Movie an underrated Disney movie, in my eyes. Whether or not you're looking for the nostaliga rush that I got when I saw it or just looking for a good family movie to watch with your family, I highly recommend A Goofy Movie!
