A Goofy Movie (1995)

Very well executed

One of the worst movies I've ever seen

Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

.Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

A Goofy Movie is one of these kids feature animations that I got back to watching out of sheer pleasure of nostalgia. I remember watching it on a plane, actually. Not all of it but some of it. But I had to watch it all again because I played enough 90's Mickey Mouse video games and was subscribed to Mickey Mouse magazine and I knew this guy who could totally do the Goofy owl so there you have it. I kept remembering how intensively emotional that movie was and watching it as a 23yr old man, yes it sure the hell is emotional. Not that it nearly made me cry like 'Still Alice' did but just so much father/son relationship emotions with excellent animated expressions and voice acting.What I loved about A Goofy Movie is just how 90's it is and how very very witty, charming and even mature it is in some parts. It's all about the teenager (Max Goof) who has become a teenager and wants to be a rock star and get the girl (Roxanne) who totally has a crush on him from the beginning of the movie which makes his devious teenager plan sort of pointless other than drive the narration of the movie about creating a stronger bond with his father (Goofy). There's also Pete (the big antagonist cat from the Mickey Mouse universe) and his son, P.J.Overall, it's a fantastic little movie with some typical Disney cheesy singing but if that's your thing, go check it out.

When I picked this movie all I could think of all the great memories that came along with it. Starting off with the great music that was in it. The catchy lyrics from "After Today" and "I2I". I also still loved how maturity that could be found in this most simple parts. An example being with how Goofy reacts to finding out that Max, his son, lied to him. I love the way the worked in some light fourth wall jokes like having Donald Duck and Mickey join in on the song," All in All" while being lost in the middle of the highway to The little Mermaid light switch. I also enjoyed how the growth of relationship between Max and Goofy. Overall I loved this movie and hope it becomes a real Disney Classic. I also enjoyed the music video with Lou Bega doing the cleaned up verison of Mambo No. 5. In short,a great movie and wonderful DVD release to boot!

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.

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!
