A Goofy Movie managed to become timeless almost in spite of itself. The film got a 20th anniversary panel at the D23 Expo in 2015, it's inspired tribute videos, merchandise, and plenty of passionate fans accrued over years of home-media viewing. Remember pay-per-view?)īut over the last 25 years, A Goofy Movie has grown with its Millennial audience.
(Fun fact: the concert is apparently going to be made available to the rest of the country via pay-per-view. This gets Max in trouble right at the end of the school year, inspiring Goofy to take his son on a road trip to an old fishing hole, at just the same time that Max has lied and told Roxanne that he's going to Powerline's concert in Los Angeles.
That's why he wants to impress the prettiest girl in school, Roxanne, by dressing up as the beloved rock star Prince – er, I mean, Powerline – and hijacking a school assembly in the process. As well-meaning as his dad is, Max can't stand him. When the film begins, the conflict is simple: Max Goof really, truly does not want to be Goofy. But this Goofy doesn't appear to be an ex-movie star.) (I noted this on Twitter recently: apparently in the universe of this movie, Walt Disney existed. It's another thing when you know your dad is. What would it be like if you were a teenager, as Max Goof is when the film begins, and all you dread is turning into your dad.Goofy? It's one thing to dread turning into your parents – most of us have had that feeling. The opening dream sequence poses the question simply enough through a romantic fantasy being twisted into a nightmare: what would it be like if you were fated to grow up as the son of Goofy? Leave aside being Goofy himself. (Katzenberg, to note, had left Disney long before A Goofy Movie arrived in theaters.) It's worth noting, though, that Disney executive Jeffrey Katzenberg was partially inspired for the core premise of A Goofy Movie – a road trip bonding father and child together – by a road trip of his own with his daughter. Less than a year before its arrival, DisneyToon Studios released The Return of Jafar, which changed the prospects of the studio's future far more than a road-trip adventure with a pair of Goofs ever could. Did he have a wife? An ex-wife? A side piece who gave birth to a kid once? Well.the jury's out, as this tweet implies.) The five-year gap between DuckTales the Movie and A Goofy Movie, arriving in April of 1995, can be chalked up to Disney just beginning to find its sea legs in producing animated content outside of its traditional studio unit. (Yes, in the universe of this show, he had a son. Another 90s-era show was Goof Troop, in which we followed along the misadventures of Goofy and his son, Max.
