![]() ![]() While the songs aren’t as grand as Beauty and the Beast, they’re still so memorable in their own right. It’s also fascinating to see a Disney tackle modern set pieces that aren’t the typical fantasy setting, thus making this film very unique compared to the rest of the 90s Disney lineup.īeing a Disney animated film from the 90s, it wouldn’t be complete without a memorable soundtrack. The characters still move very fluidly and fit with the film’s very expressive physical humor. However, given how DisneyToon Studios films are more cartoony than your average Disney film, the animation is still pretty great. Since it is a smaller film compared to something like The Lion King or The Hunchback of Notre Dame, it isn’t quite as grand or as impressive as what is typically expected from Disney. The main focus is between Max and Goofy and thankfully the dynamic between these two is fantastic, which makes the movie all the more memorable.Īs far as Disney animated films go, A Goofy Movie also looks great from an artistic perspective. It also helps that both Jason Marsden and Bill Farmer are able to tone it down for the emotional moments while also staying true to the nature of their characters’ namesake. It’s your typical archetypes of the overbearing father figure with a rebel teenage son, but the writers know when to take things seriously and let the more dramatic moments settle in. The relationship between these two characters is very believable because we understand where both characters are coming from, with Max yearning for his independence and Goofy trying to be an attentive father. For all its literal goofiness, this is a surprisingly laid back and often poignant film, as in the midst of every slapstick moment with Goofy, we get a lot of small and quiet character moments between Max and his dad. ![]() But surprisingly the film comes across as a lot more endearing. And it’s true that the movie has lot of very wacky moments and overly indulgent 90s references, from Max and Goofy encountering Bigfoot to the Powerline concert resembling popular musical artists like Prince and Michael Jackson. Max, still bummed about not hanging with Roxanne, tries to sabotage his dad’s planned road trip by making the concert be their final destination, as opposed to the fishing trip Goofy wants to go on.īeing a classic road trip movie starring a very slapstick-centric cartoon icon, one would imagine A Goofy Movie to be very over the top. However, his plans are halted after Goofy forces Max to do a father/son road trip, hoping to help them bond after being concerned about Max’s wellbeing. The story focuses on Goofy’s son Max, who’s about to start his summer vacation and makes a date to watch the Powerline concert with his crush Roxanne. Yet A Goofy Movie fortunately, and surprisingly, manages to hold its own very well. The film served as a follow up to the hit Disney Afternoon series, Goof Troop, focusing on many of the characters from the original series, taking place many years later to the point of being almost a total reboot.
