Goofy and max1/28/2024 Amazingly Embarrassing Parents: Well, Max's dad is Goofy, literally and figuratively, and though a loving and devoted father, Goofy won't stop babying his son, who wants nothing more than to be respected as a mature person.But after Max's stunt at the assembly turns him into the most popular guy in school, Lisa becomes very flirty toward him. During the "After Today" music sequence she seems to view Max as a nobody who is beneath her. Alpha Bitch: The blonde, busty, popular student named Lisa seems to be one of these.Powerline himself is understandably confused at first, but goes along with it when he sees what a great dancer Goofy is. All Part of the Show: The crowd goes wild when first Goofy and then Max end up on stage with Powerline.The Alleged Car: Goofy's much-abused car (essentially a thinly veiled cartoon version of the AMC Pacer, a real-life alleged car).Advertised Extra: Despite being in only five scenes, four of which in the first act and three of those are the only ones of his with any bearing on the plot while the first is wordless and the fifth is a minor appearance in the finale, Bobby has more screentime in the original trailer than Roxanne, Pete and especially PJ, mostly to cash in on the then-immense popularity of Pauly Shore, who plays him and is the only big-name actor in the cast (ironically, he received no screen credit, but Disney was clearly counting on gen-xers recognizing his voice and the fact that the character was basically his animated avatar).Accidental Pervert: When looking for Max at the concert, Goofy accidentally stumbles upon the back-up singer's dressing room (when she's in her underwear), at which point she screams and punches him out of the room.The "perfect cast" turns into a dance craze at the end when Goofy, max, and Powerline all perform it onstage at Powerline's concert.Max gets a possum in his pants at Lester's Possum Park, and everybody claps along and dances with him.Who deserves a hero's trophy / as we face each cata-STRO-PHE? AcCENT upon the Wrong SylLABle: By Goofy in "Nobody Else But You" to pull off a rhyme.Later on, Pete has PJ at his beck and call. Abusive Parents: PJ seems deeply terrified of disappointing his father, given his many quips about what Pete would do when Principal Mazur tells him about the assembly.There's plenty of flannel and baggy clothing, Pauly Shore playing one of many variations of his "Weasel" character (and just Pauly Shore being in the movie at all) and a pop superstar character who's an amalgam of Prince, Michael Jackson and Bobby Brown and who's voiced by the then-moderately popular Tevin Campbell. The '90s: A nice little time capsule of the early- to mid-point of the decade.The film was a modest box office success, enough to earn a Direct to Video sequel, An Extremely Goofy Movie, in 2000. The film was directed by Kevin Lima, who would go on to direct Disney's Tarzan, 102 Dalmatians and Enchanted. Though not a part of the Disney Animated Canon (its animation was farmed out to Disney's branch studios in Australia, Canada and France, who had animated Goof Troop and later assisted on some of the studio's late '90s features), its popularity among fans of '90s Disney animation is comparable to that of the films which were and is certainly greater than that of the show it was spun off from. The film is best remembered for giving Goofy a significant amount of Character Development from a broad slapstick joke character to a loving Bumbling Dad, with plenty of touching father-son bonding moments throughout, all without sacrificing any of the comedy. Not wanting Roxanne to think he's rejecting her, he lies that Goofy is friends with Powerline, a Michael Jackson-esque pop superstar whose concert she'll be watching on pay-per-view at said party, and that the reason he won't be at the party is because they're going to Los Angeles to join him on stage. Unfortunately, not only does Max want nothing to do with his amazingly embarrassing father but their trip interferes with his plans to go to a party with his crush Roxanne. It's also, to date, the only theatrically-released, single-narrative feature film to star a character from the Classic Disney Shorts.Īfter his son Max gets into trouble on the last day of school, single father Goofy becomes worried that they haven't been spending enough time together and decides to take him on an impromptu father-son road trip. It's a loose Spin-Off of Goof Troop, making it the only other feature film spin-off of a show from The Disney Afternoon after DuckTales the Movie: Treasure of the Lost Lamp. ![]() ![]() A Goofy Movie is a 1995 animated film from Disney, starring, of course, Goofy.
