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.

"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.

Fantastically animated for a cartoon’s own frivolous quality that dazzles with enough to expressively blossom the comedic heart by achieving the intended narrative approaches that are thematically thoughtful and meaningful through layered depth, such treatment never thought of for a cartoon character. The eponymous nature boosts the enjoyable comedy under retained signature, which was criticized for lack thereof without noting it is rather balanced with the vulnerably surfaced emotional core that honestly could have been written better, regardless of the moderately designated communication. What truly aligned the thematic heart is the performances from Jason Marsden excelling Max’s role similarly linked to coming-of-age classics’ starring teens, which positions Bill Farmer in not only also excelling Goofy’s emotional circumstances but brings more comfort and sympathy than the parental roles in those categorized classics, especially with seldom gravitas.

Disney released three animated features in theaters in 1995: Toy Story, Pocahontas, and A Goofy Movie. And A Goofy Movie is definitely the underdog of those three. But there is something enduring about this story. When I was younger, I identified more with Max. Now, as a parent, I identify more with Goofy. But either way, this is a fun family film with humor and heart. It also has some amazing songs. I would definitely attend a Powerline concert if he existed in real life. So yes, this cartoon is a little, if you’ll pardon the pun, goofy at times, but I’m always up for a trip with A Goofy Movie.
