Ep.66 A Goofy Movie

Sup Friends! Welcome back to friends of Disney. Today’s Fresh new episode brings us back to the 90’s as we get jiggy talking about a goofy movie.

“A Goofy Movie” is based on the sitcom series “Goof Troop,” which centers around Goofy and his relationship with his son Max as a single father. The movie follows Goofy and Max on a bonding road trip, but not much actual bonding occurs. Max, in the midst of his teen years, believes he’s too cool to do things with his dad and often feels embarrassed by Goofy. On the other hand, Goofy is terrified of Max becoming a delinquent, so he does everything he can to strengthen their relationship.

Things take a turn when Max changes the directions on the map to get Goofy to attend a concert so he can impress Roxanne, Max’s major crush. After a series of mishaps and life-threatening events, Goofy and Max end up seeing eye to eye and have a stronger relationship.

“A Goofy Movie” was released in 1995 and received mixed reviews. Even the Walt Disney Company, which had already greenlit the movie before firing Jeffrey Katzenberg, viewed it as a mere “contractual obligation.” Despite this, the movie has become a cult classic among 90’s kids and is often referred to as such. Disney has further promoted the movie by showcasing Max in a power line outfit at parks and parades, accompanied by the movie’s closing song, “I2I.”

Overall, “A Goofy Movie” remains a great family-friendly movie that’s filled with nostalgia and humor for everyone to enjoy.
