A Goofy Movie is a 1995 American animated musical comedy-adventure film produced by Walt Disney Television Animation. Directed by Kevin Lima, the film is based on The Disney Afternoon television series Goof Troop (1992) created by Robert Taylor and Michael Peraza, and serves as a standalone spin-off to the show. Taking place three years after the events of Goof Troop, the film follows Goofy and his now teenage son Max as they embark on a misguided cross-country father-son fishing trip across the United States.

Disney came up with the idea to make a theatrical animated film starring Goofy while considering ideas for a potential Goof Troop TV special. Lima wanted to expand Goofy as a character and "give him an emotional side" that would resonate with audiences. The film features the voices of Bill Farmer, Jim Cummings, and Rob Paulsen reprising their roles from the series as Goofy, Pete, and P.J., respectively, while Jason Marsden replaces Dana Hill as Max, alongside Kellie Martin, Wallace Shawn, and Pauly Shore as new characters. Furthermore, R&B artist Tevin Campbell provides the vocals for Powerline, a fictional pop star who prominently appears in the film, performing the songs "Stand Out" and "I 2 I".

A Goofy Movie was released theatrically in the United States and Canada on April 7, 1995, by Walt Disney Pictures. Because the film had been greenlit by the recently fired Jeffrey Katzenberg, the film's release was deemed by Disney to be a contractual obligation. Upon release, it received mixed reviews from critics and made a meager impression at the box office, grossing $37.6 million against an $18 million production cost. However, with its home media release, the film garnered a cult following and has become a more prominent property within Disney. A direct-to-video sequel to the film, titled An Extremely Goofy Movie, was released on February 29, 2000. A documentary about the making of the film, Not Just a Goof, premiered in 2024 and was released on Disney+ in 2025.

Plot

Max Goof is an average teenager who pines after his classmate Roxanne, worships the pop star Powerline, and has a tense relationship with his clumsy, old-fashioned father Goofy, whom he fears he may end up taking after when he grows up. On the last day of school before summer vacation, Max, with help from his friends P.J. and Bobby, hijacks a school assembly and dances while lip syncing to a Powerline song. The performance succeeds in making Max a school celebrity, and he invites Roxanne with him to a viewing party of a live broadcast of Powerline's upcoming concert in Los Angeles.

Goofy, after school principal Mazur warns him about Max's potential juvenile delinquency, immediately plans a fishing trip to Lake Destiny, Idaho, to curb his son's behavior. Max attempts to cancel his date with Roxanne, but panics and tells her that not only are he and Goofy traveling to Los Angeles to personally see the concert, but that Powerline has invited them onstage.

Goofy and Max hit the road, visiting a run-down possum-themed amusement park where Goofy embarrasses Max. The next day, they run into P.J. and his father Pete while camping. Goofy takes his son fishing and shows him the "Perfect Cast" fishing technique, accidentally luring Bigfoot to their camp and forcing Goofy and Max to spend the night in the car with Bigfoot outside. While Goofy sleeps, Max alters the map's route to Los Angeles.

The next morning, Goofy makes Max the navigator of the trip, and the two enjoy several stops together. That night, while staying at the same motel, Pete overhears a conversation between Max and P.J. and informs Goofy that Max has tricked him into traveling to Los Angeles. Goofy still believes Max will do the right thing, but the next morning, Max chooses the route to California, and Goofy stops the car at the Grand Canyon and storms off. With the brake loose, the car drives off on its own; Goofy and Max chase after it and end up riding the car down the Colorado River. After a brief argument, Goofy says no matter how old Max gets he will always be his son, and the two finally reconcile. After learning about Max's promise to Roxanne, Goofy decides to take him to the concert. The two nearly plummet down a waterfall, but Max rescues Goofy using the Perfect Cast technique.

In Los Angeles, Goofy and Max arrive at the concert, sneak on to the stage, and dance with Powerline, delighting Roxanne. Max and Goofy return home in their barely functioning car and Max tells Roxanne the truth; she admits she always liked him and they make plans to go out. The car explodes, ejecting Goofy into the porch roof of Roxanne's house, and Max proudly introduces his father to his new girlfriend.

Production

A Goofy Movie is based on Goof Troop, an animated Disney Afternoon show created by Robert Taylor and Michael Peraza Jr., that centered around Goofy and his son, Max.{{Cite web |last=Peraza |first=Mike |date=September 21, 2010 |title=Goofy Troopers Part 1 |url=http://michaelperaza.blogspot.com/2010/09/goofy-troopers-part-1-by-mike-peraza.html |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181205193827/http://michaelperaza.blogspot.com/2010/09/goofy-troopers-part-1-by-mike-peraza.html |archive-date=December 5, 2018 |website=Peraza Fine Art |via=Blogger}}{{Cite web |last=Peraza |first=Mike |date=September 21, 2010 |title=Goofy Troopers Part 2 |url=http://michaelperaza.blogspot.com/2010/09/goofy-troopers-part-2-by-mike-peraza.html |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190202050712/http://michaelperaza.blogspot.com/2010/09/goofy-troopers-part-2-by-mike-peraza.html |archive-date=February 2, 2019 |website=Peraza Fine Art}} When considering ideas for a TV special, Disney decided to produce a theatrical film based on the show, contracting Jymn Magon to write a feature-length script starring Goofy. The filmmakers chose to age up Max, who was portrayed as an 11-year-old in Goof Troop, setting the film several years later and putting him in high school.{{Cite web |date=August 19, 2015 |title=Full: Goofy Movie 20th Anniversary Reunion Panel at the #D23EXPO |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WY7UVqLVg8k |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200301170444/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WY7UVqLVg8k |archive-date=March 1, 2020 |access-date=May 11, 2020 |via=YouTube}} The movie was the feature film directorial debut for Disney story artist and animator Kevin Lima, who went on to direct the Disney films Tarzan (1999), 102 Dalmatians (2000) and Enchanted (2007).{{Cite journal |date=November 22, 2007 |title=Drawn to Directing |journal=Backstage East |publisher=VNU/Nielsen Business Media |volume=48 |page=9 |number=47}} Lima wanted to do a John Hughes film in animation.{{cite web | url=https://www.slashfilm.com/573719/a-goofy-movie-oral-history/ | title='A Goofy Movie' at 25: An Oral History of "I2I" and the Powerline Concert Scene | date=April 24, 2020 }} In 1995, Lima said that "Instead of just keeping Goofy one-dimensional as he's been in the past, we wanted to give an emotional side that would add to the emotional arc of the story. We wanted the audience to see his feelings instead of just his antics."{{Cite web |last=Black |first=Louis |author-link=Louis Black |date=April 7, 1995 |title=A Goofy Movie |url=http://www.austinchronicle.com/gyrobase/Calendar/Film?Film=oid%3a142788 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091202043435/http://www.austinchronicle.com/gyrobase/Calendar/Film?Film=oid%3A142788 |archive-date=December 2, 2009 |access-date=August 13, 2009 |website=The Austin Chronicle}} Magon stated that the father-son dynamic of the film was inspired by a story from then-Walt Disney Studios chairman Jeffrey Katzenberg in which he and his daughter—with whom he had an estranged relationship at the time—went on a road trip together, during which they bonded and their relationship considerably improved.{{Cite web |last=Taylor |first=Drew |date=April 8, 2020 |title=Underdogs: How A Goofy Movie Became Disney's Most Unlikely Sleeper Hit |url=https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2020/04/goofy-movie-anniversary-disney |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200412183117/https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2020/04/goofy-movie-anniversary-disney |archive-date=April 12, 2020 |access-date=April 12, 2020 |website=Vanity Fair}}{{Cite AV media |date=August 16, 2015 |title="A Goofy Movie" Cast Reunites in the DisneyExaminer Newsroom at the D23 Expo 2015 |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rea2LnHwjfQ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190917212059/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rea2LnHwjfQ&gl=US&hl=en |archive-date=September 17, 2019 |access-date=May 11, 2020 |via=YouTube}}

While the work was a Disney production, it was considered far less essential than the studio's mainstream works at the time such as The Lion King, and was given a far smaller budget compared to these films. Thus, A Goofy Movie was jointly produced by Walt Disney Feature Animation, Walt Disney Television Animation, and Disney MovieToons and with outsourcing to Walt Disney Animation France and Walt Disney Animation Australia, along with additional Disney animation studios in Spain and Canada. Pre-production was done at the main Feature Animation studio in Burbank, California, starting as early as mid-1993. The animation work was done at Walt Disney Animation France in Paris supervised by Paul and Gaëtan Brizzi, with additional scenes animated at Disney's studio in Sydney, Australia, under the direction of Steve Moore, and clean-up work done at the main Burbank studio.{{Cite AV media |title=Waking Sleeping Beauty |date=2010 |type=Documentary film |publisher=Stone Circle Pictures/Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures |place=Burbank, California |people=Hahn, Don (Director)}} Additional clean-up/animation was done by Phoenix Animation Studios in Canada, and digitally inked-and-painted by the Pixibox studio in France.{{Cite AV media |title=Closing credits for A Goofy Movie |date=1995 |type=Animated film |publisher=Walt Disney Pictures |place=Burbank, California |people=Lima, Kevin (Director)}} The film's planned release on Thanksgiving 1994 was delayed because the monitor that they were using to capture the film's animation had a single dead pixel, forcing them to recapture three-quarters of the film again with a non-defective monitor. Though this created extra work to reshoot the animation and verify it was clean of defects, Lima said the delay time gave them time to polish up the movie.{{cite web | url=https://www.polygon.com/movies/554432/a-goofy-movie-not-just-a-goof-production | title=How one small black dot saved a Goofy Movie | website=Polygon | access-date=April 7, 2025 | archive-date=April 7, 2025 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250407203135/https://www.polygon.com/movies/554432/a-goofy-movie-not-just-a-goof-production | url-status=live }}

Several of the main voice cast from Goof Troop reprise their roles in A Goofy Movie, including Bill Farmer as Goofy, Jim Cummings as Pete, and Rob Paulsen as P.J.. Max, whose voice was provided by Dana Hill in Goof Troop, is voiced in the film by Jason Marsden when speaking and Aaron Lohr when singing. Deep into production, after recording nearly all of Goofy's lines, Katzenberg wanted to replace Farmer with Steve Martin, using his normal voice. Lima thought that this was a bad idea, and to prove it to Katzenberg, he asked Farmer voice Goofy using his regular speaking voice as opposed to the character's signature, cartoonish voice. This confused Farmer, who insisted that audiences wanted to hear the Goofy they were all familiar with. After a week of recording lines like this, Katzenburg retracted his idea and Michael Eisner and Roy E. Disney told Farmer to speak in Goofy's regular voice.{{Cite magazine |last=Tylor |first=Drew |date=April 7, 2020 |title=Underdogs: How A Goofy Movie Became Disney's Most Unlikely Sleeper Hit |url=https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2020/04/goofy-movie-anniversary-disney?srsltid=AfmBOoqZOIrOUl5vq55jenbypRgiE9UbKXPvE6LixwBGmJnICfWV_WZC |access-date=November 3, 2024 |magazine=Vanity Fair |archive-date=December 11, 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20241211013721/https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2020/04/goofy-movie-anniversary-disney?srsltid=AfmBOoqZOIrOUl5vq55jenbypRgiE9UbKXPvE6LixwBGmJnICfWV_WZC |url-status=live }}{{Cite web |date=August 15, 2015 |title=Powerline Performed During The 'Goofy Movie' Reunion At D23 |url=https://uproxx.com/movies/goofy-movie-reunion |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180831174624/https://uproxx.com/movies/goofy-movie-reunion/ |archive-date=August 31, 2018 |access-date=June 1, 2018 |publisher=Uproxx}}/https://www.avclub.com/the-longtime-voice-of-goofy-on-yuks-gawrshes-and-the-1843452997 Farmer stated that he used a "mental image" of his five-year-old son at the time in order to fully embrace his role as a loving father.

Release

=Theatrical=

Within Disney, prior to A Goofy Movie{{'}}s release, the film was frequently associated with Katzenberg, and by April 1995, Katzenberg had been let go by Disney's CEO Michael Eisner due to tensions between them.

A 4K HDR resolution version of the film was completed as an educational project by the team at The Bigger Pictures Film Restoration in June 2023. An early version of the tests utilized AI upscaling technology to patch low-resolution line art in select shots but were not utilized in the final version. The film was used as a sample reel showcasing the ability of the team to remove dead pixels, debris, and hair from the transfer that were found on the negative and interpositive - a byproduct of the experimental animation system used on the film. During production, a 35mm camera captured the digitally composited PEGS/Pixibox renders at a resolution approaching 2K. The Pixibox renders were displayed on a high-definition commercial-grade calibrated monitor which was filmed in 35mm using the successive exposure technique, one frame at a time. As this project was created for educational/demo purposes - the restoration is not planned for released to the public.

==Initial==

Upon release, the film received mixed responses from critics. Roger Ebert gave the film three stars out of four, noting that he only got to see a portion of the film in his initial viewing before a technical problem in the projection booth ended the screening early (somewhere between 35 and 40 minutes into the film, based on information given in his review — much less than the approximate hour he believed he had seen). He later clarified the film was worthy of three after viewing the entire film stating, "Three stars is about right."{{Cite web |last=Ebert |first=Roger |author-link=Roger Ebert |date=April 7, 1995 |title=A Goofy Movie |url=https://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/a-goofy-movie-1995 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190510131022/https://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/a-goofy-movie-1995 |archive-date=May 10, 2019 |access-date=June 20, 2016 |website=Chicago Sun-Times |via=RogerEbert.com}} In his one-star review from The Austin Chronicle, Louis Black said "The movie appears to have forgotten that [...] it is an adolescent angst drama about his son Max's ambivalent feelings about having Goofy as a dad. This is a story about a boy and a dad [...] it is bland, a barely television-length cartoon stretched out to fill a feature, and not much fun."

After its meager box office performance during its theatrical release, A Goofy Movie started to gain success in 1995 due to home media sales, and soon gained a cult following.
