Though Goofy always means well, his amiable cluelessness and klutzy pratfalls regularly embarrass his awkward adolescent son, Max. When Max's lighthearted prank on his high-school principal finally gets his longtime crush, Roxanne, to notice him, he asks her on a date. Max's trouble at school convinces Goofy that he and the boy need to bond over a cross-country fishing trip like the one he took with his dad when he was Max's age, which throws a kink in his son's plans to impress Roxanne.

This movie is excellent for the little ones up through the preteen years. They'll like the slapstick, the wild and wacky antics of a cartoon cross-country adventure and Max's quest to be cool at school.

"A Goofy Movie" looks slapped together with about as much care as a kid takes making mud pies at the beach. The Script is abysmal and the animation just barely adequate.

Although A Goofy Movie resurrects a major character of the Disney short cartoons of the 30s-50s - the gormless canine star, Goofy - viewers expecting a nostalgic recreation of the old-fashioned, small-town world he once lived in are in for a shock.

...the characters in "A Goofy Movie," for all their cartoonish ways, are a lot like you and me. And that's what gives the movie its depth and resonance.

Children will love the animation and music, and parents can relate to some of the positive messages conveyed in the film. Welcome to the '90s, Goofy. You fit right in.

The movie might be "Goofy," but like its stumbling, good-natured namesake, it has its heart in the right place.

A Goofy Movie is an underrated Disney gem that blends humor, heart, and music into an unforgettable animated adventure. Max, Goofy’s son, navigates adolescence with charm, while Roxanne, PJ, and supporting characters add depth and fun, though some were underused. Powerline’s songs, especially "Stand Out," create iconic, energetic moments that capture teenage crushes and excitement. The father-son relationship forms the emotional core, balancing slapstick comedy with heartfelt storytelling. The animation is colorful and dynamic, enhancing comedic and emotional beats. With memorable music, charming characters, and a mix of romance, humor, and warmth, A Goofy Movie remains a timeless, joyful Disney classic that deserves recognition and repeated viewing.

A Goofy Movie is a fun in all the right ways. Hilarious at the right moments and heart warming when it needs to be. A simple story of a father trying to reconnect with his son, with cartoon antics attached to it.

A Goofy Movie is a true classic. I remember thinking it was such a great movie because Max was a cool character. Max Goof tells his crush, Roxanne, that he’s going to a Powerline concert in Los Angeles—but Goofy surprises him by taking him on a cross-country fishing road trip instead. Max argues with his dad because he’s embarrassed by Goofy’s goofy nature, afraid of becoming like him, and frustrated as a teenager trying to impress Roxanne. The conflict grows throughout the trip, but in the end, it becomes a really meaningful and heartfelt movie.

Ages pretty well for something from the 90s. Cool to have a story about father and son, too....not common anymore.
