Movie is great for children and adults. No double meaning

When Max makes an preposterous promise to a girl he has a crush on, his chances to fulfilling it seem hopeless when he is dragged onto a cross-country trip with his embarrassing father, Goofy.Goofy was always a secondary character, ranking behind Mickey and Donald, as well as Minnie. He edges out Daisy, but that's only because she has never really been developed. But with "Goofy Movie", he finally gets his due, even if he still has to be second fiddle to his son. (The movie conveniently ignores how Goofy had a son.) The film is fun, and really captures the 1990s. This is both a strength (nostalgia) and a weakness (Pauly Shore). What is odd is that I think we are supposed to identify with Max, but we actually identify more with Goofy himself, as Max comes off as rude, boastful and disrespectful.

A Goofy Movie is a great movie with a very well developed plot and a terrific voice cast. It's an enjoyable, very quick ride, lasting only eighty minutes. In this short amount of time we experience terrific character development between Goofy and Max, his son who is actually the lead role in this film despite what the title may suggest. It's a very sweet film about the complicated relationship between this father and son, as Goofy must cope with the fact that his little boy is growing up and is no longer interested in spending time with him, in the end the two learn that they both truly love and appreciate one another. It is a lot more powerful than you would expect a movie with Goofy as a main character to be. I think the conflicted emotions between these family members can stand out as something very relatable to anyone.I do think that, for a children's film, it's a bit too depressing, the first fifty minutes of the movie is mainly Goofy and Max traveling across country together despite both having very different views on their relationship. There are moments where we see Goofy truly feeling like he hit rock bottom and has lost everything he's ever loved. This serves as a great story arc but I felt that it was a bit too dramatic at times and should have had more happy and upbeat moments in between to keep kids happy.The musical numbers in this film are outstanding, all of them have a really upbeat and feel good tune to it that you can not help but smile to. They also serve as great character development for Max and Goofy, particularly Nobody Else But You, a song that shows how much they truly appreciate each other, and that the bond is still very strong between them despite the difficulties they have had in the past. Funny, sweet and filled with charming characters, A Goofy Movie takes Mickey Mouse's silly sidekick and establishes him as a three dimensional character, I would recommend it to anyone looking for a good family film. After landing a date with the girl of his dreams, Max is suddenly forced to go on a father-son vacation with his dad Goofy.

I cannot begin to express how much I adore this movie. I watched it practically on a loop when I was young, and still love to watch it today.First, I'll talk about the phenomenal songs this movie has to offer. "Stand Out" and "I2I" (performed by Max's favorite rock star, "Powerline") are catchy as hell and stay with you after the movie is over. "After Today," "On the Open Road," and "Nobody Else But You" feel very musical-esque. And there's even the silly "Lester's Possum Park," a hilarious little ditty.The film itself is very touching and I feel that Max is very relatable. Max is embarrassed by his father, Goofy, as a lot of teens are. Max pulls a stunt that makes him the coolest guy in school, only to be dragged on a father-son bonding road trip immediately afterwards by Goofy. Through the journey, Goofy tries to bridge the generation gap between himself and his son, but learns that the things he thought were great as a child aren't so impressive to the youth of today (well, of 1995)."A Goofy Movie" is a touching and fun movie that doesn't get nearly as much attention and praise as it should. I prefer this movie to the highly overrated "Frozen."
