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.

I loved this movie as a child - I wanted to buy an entire Powerline album. As an adult, I appreciated the movie in a new way. Goofy is such a wonderful father (single father). He is doing his best to connect with his teen child. It is endearing that Goofy is just living his life, trying to have fun, and bring his son to enjoy various things. As a teen, Max is clearly embarrassed by everything his father does. Also, as an adult, I find Max to be so obnoxious! Teens man, what are you going to do with them?! I love that they seem to find a middle ground and are able to connect. When Max is yelling that he just wants to have a life and Goofy responds, "I wanted to be a part of that", something inside of me jumped. Such a wholesome movie.
