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.

Critics Consensus

A Goofy Movie offers enough of its titular ingredient to satisfy younger viewers, even if most parents will agree that this beloved character deserves better.

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.

Rated: 3.5/5

"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.

Such an awesome film. Definitely one of the best Disney films to be made outside of the main animation studio.

This movie is so much better than it had any right to be to be. It also has a lot more depth and relatable than you would expect. So yeah it's just a really good movie that I remember from my childhood and it has aged greatly.

I've watched this movie at least as many times as I have Lion King and Aladdin (and that's a lot). It's hard for me to understand why it has been overlooked. This movie is both heartfelt and funny, and the songs are excellent. As a kid, this was one of my comfort movies. As an adult, upon watching the documentary (Not Just A Goof), I was amazed to see that the people who made this movie, far from having the same resources allotted to other Disney classics like Lion King and Aladdin, positively worked themselves to the bone on a shoestring budget. A Goofy Movie stands the test of time, and you can relate to it both as a kid and as a parent.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars
