Even as Disney has reveled in the success of its high-end animated features, it occasionally sneaks a lesser effort into theaters, based on one of the many TV shows with which it dominates daytime TV. This one is based on perennial Disney favorite Goofy's adventures in domesticated bliss. Goofy is now a single dad; when son Max gets blamed for a prank gone wrong at school, Goofy blames himself and decides that, for his vacation, he's going to get away with Max alone. Of course, this is no treat for Max, who has just met the girl of his dreams and harbors no wish to spend the summer touring America with his square dad. The vacation is one disaster after another, though they aren't particularly funny disasters; the culmination involves Goofy's efforts to get Max backstage at a big rock concert. Strictly for young fans of the TV show. --Marshall Fine

 Great movie, but not-so-great DVD December 1, 2008
Raymond Sleiman (California)
Since this is one of my favorite Disney movies, I decided to get the DVD and see if it was worth the money, but unfortunatley it wasn't. One of the biggest problems with the DVD is that the film is not presented in its original aspect ratio. Another problem is the special features included. Out of all the stuff included, I was expecting a "making of" featurette, but Disney was too lazy to include it, not to mention one was already made back during the film's release and aired on the Disney Channel. Everything else seems ok, the VHS version of this movie is probably two times better. In other words, this is a great film, but the DVD is simlpy stupid.
 A good Disney movie November 11, 2008
J. Tam (Capitola, CA United States)
My 3 year old son loves this movie. He first saw it at his daycare, so I had to get it for him. There's music, singing and "goofy" things going on amidst a good father/son story. The only thing I found a little off-putting is the reference to the "electric chair" . Try explaining that to your kids. So far, my son hasn't asked...
A Goofy Movie March 11, 2008
Tammy M. Weber (Wisconsin)
My daughter who is 3 1/2 years old almost 4 years old LOVES GOOFY, she will watch this movie over and over again, except she was getting alittle sassy from some of the scenes, so we had to stop watching it for a little bit. It is a cute show and as she gets older there are some good lessons in the movie.
Wonderfully Funny January 18, 2008

This was a great movie for a great price. A "feel good family movie" for everyone.
One of Disney's Best! January 17, 2008

On the last day of school before summer vacation, Goofy's teenage son Max plans to interrupt an assembly with a song and dance number to win the attention of the girl of his dreams, Roxanne. Emulating his pop-star hero, Powerline, Max pulls off the stunt long enough to gain major popularity points with his peers and get the date he was hoping for, but not without landing himself in the principal's office to boot. A phone call to his dad instantly foils Max's plans for a summer of love, as Goofy becomes convinced that he needs to spend some quality time with his son. Before he can escape, Max is whisked away on a cross-country road trip to Goofy's favorite fishing spot, but he manages to squeeze in one last talk with Roxanne on the way. Unfortunately, in a final effort to keep Roxanne from finding another date to her friend Stacey's concert watching party, Max promises to wave to her from the stage when he and his dad join Powerline in the final number! Suddenly, he's told the biggest lie of his life and has no idea how to get out of it. When Max decides to alter Goofy's treasured family map halfway through the trip and head them towards the concert in L.A., he finally starts to have a good time, but at what price?
"A Goofy Movie" was a surprise gem from Disney in 1995 that surely would have made Walt proud! The writing and animation are top notch, with a completely original, believable, hilarious and charming father/son story expanding on the popular "Goof Troop" TV series from 1992. In this bigscreen feature, Max and his friend P.J. have moved on to high school, and Pete is still around to cause trouble for Goofy with his nasty demeanor and awful advice. Absent with no explanation, however, are Pete's wife Peg and small daughter, Pistol, and both Goofy and Pete now work as baby photographers in a retail store. The characters are just as we remember them though, and looking better than ever, only the older Max is now voiced by James Marsden. But don't worry if you never watched "Goof Troop" back in the day. This movie completely stands on its own feet as a solid and highly entertaining story of its own, and Goofy (Bill Farmer) and Pete (Jim Cummings) are not much different than they were in their classic Disney shorts. Some major new characters are created for the film too, like Pauly Shore's Bobby, a high school friend of Max and P.J.'s, and the adorable Roxanne, voiced by the equally adorable Kellie Martin. The film boasts some excellent original songs too, and just about all the goofy fun you can handle!
The Gold Collection DVD of "A Goofy Movie" is so close to being outstanding that it's a real shame they missed the mark by making it fullscreen only! Other than that, it is surprisingly generous with extras (for a Disney release), especially considering the quality of those extras. The two most notable are "Calling All Goofs", an episode of the TV series "Goof Troop" billed on this DVD as a "Max and Goofy Cartoon" and omitting the opening song, and "A Goofy Success Story", which is a wonderful episode of the old Disney anthology series in full color and introduced by Walt that tells the tale of how Goofy was discovered in Hollywood by talent scouts and became the award winning star he is today! That second program includes four classic Disney shorts edited to fit the context of the story, but more importantly, it includes a large amount of charming new (at the time) animation to tell the behind the scenes story of Goofy's success. In addition to those two excellent extras, the DVD includes the theatrical trailer, a trivia game, and a read-along story of the movie that may seem pointless to us but would be great if you have young children. Though, an original story might have been better than just a read-along version of the film. Truthfully, I suppose it would also have been nice to have some more extras relating to the film itself, like character design art (especially for Roxanne) and a behind the scenes featurette, but with "A Goofy Success Story" and an entire episode of Goof Troop, it's pretty tough to complain about anything other than that fullscreen presentation. Fullscreen or not though, this film is a must own! If you don't have it, I highly recommend it! For the Goofy fan, the extras alone make it a worthy purchase! I also highly recommend the direct-to-video sequel, "An Extremely Goofy Movie." Yeah, it's lower budget, but it is far better than your average Disney direct-to-video sequel. And, seek out Walt Disney Treasures: The Complete Goofy if you don't have it already. I just wish they would hurry-up and release Sport Goofy in "Soccermania" to DVD already, not to mention "Goof Troop" in volume sets like they have for Duck Tales, Tale Spin, Gummi Bears, and Rescue Rangers. I suppose The Wuzzles should come first though. Disney, are you listening?
