Spencer P A loving look back at an underrated Disney classic, this shows all the reasons why Goofy was deserving of an emotional evolution and contemporary update, and why hand-drawn animation doesn't deserve to die. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 06/03/25 Full Review Buddy M Growing up, I definitely saw A Goofy Movie but it wasn't one that stuck with me after childhood. After seeing this release, I re-watched the original movie, for the first time in 20+ years, then watched this right after. The original movie was way better than it had any business being. Good story with a lot of heart. This doc was very entertaining as well. Again, I'm not the biggest Goofy fan but still found this enjoyable and very well made. I could see hardcore Disney/Goofy fans loving this more than I did.

With “A Goofy Movie” celebrating its 30th anniversary, now’s a great time to either rewatch it or watch it for the first time, as well as check out this fantastic documentary, “Not Just a Goof.” Featuring interviews with “A Goofy Movie” director Kevin Lima, voice actors Bill Farmer (voice of Goofy) and Jasen Marsden (voice of Max Goof), among others, this film pays tribute to the legacy and cultural impact of “A Goofy Movie.” We get excellent behind the scenes footage and stories from the creatives involved in bringing the film to life. We learn about the challenges and struggles the film faced before and after it was released, and how “A Goofy Movie” has gone on to become a beloved classic that deserves more attention and recognition. I’m a huge fan of “A Goofy Movie,” and I highly recommend watching this documentary.

Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/21/25 Full Review Michael W This Disney documentary was really good. The entire crew did a fantastic job on telling the story of the making and impact of one of the greatest animated Disney movies ever, A Goofy Movie. It was a very interesting story and I was shocked to see how it's become a cult classic today. If you haven't seen this documentary yet, check it out sometime. It's a definite must see. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/15/25 Full Review matthias s **Review: *Not Just a Goof* (3.5 stars)** *Not Just a Goof* is a love letter to *A Goofy Movie*, and honestly, as someone who’s always been a fan, it hits in all the right nostalgic places. This documentary, released for the film's 30th anniversary (how has it been that long?!), is packed with behind-the-scenes footage, heartfelt interviews, and stories that made me appreciate the original even more. You can tell the people behind *Goofy* really cared—and it shows. What surprised me most? Jeffrey Katzenberg somehow becoming the villain of the whole story. Hearing how dismissively he talked about animation and *Goofy* in particular lowkey made my blood boil. The way critics initially trashed the movie feels even more absurd now, especially when you hear what it meant to the cast, crew, and fans alike. It’s clear the doc's main message is: critics be damned, the fans are the real judges—and I love that energy. It’s not a perfect doc, but it’s full of charm, nostalgia, and some genuinely emotional moments. If you’re a Disney nerd or just love film docs with heart, this is 100% worth a watch. Bonus points if *I2I* is still stuck in your head.
