25. A Goofy Movie- 1995
Max and Goofy hit the road on a father-son fishing trip in Disney’s A Goofy Movie.
Rating: 🔥 that’s hot
Goofy wants to reconnect with his teenage son Max who he feels is growing up and drifting away from him. So, he plans an epic road trip adventure to mirror the same trip that he took as a teen with his dad. But when Max finds himself in a tight spot, Goofy must learn to pivot and really get to know his son.
This movie is everything that’s great about the 90’s. They really went for a modern feel with A Goofy Movie in a way that I haven’t seen up to this point in the #DisneyinOrder challenge. The music and setting are contemporary and tbh this had me feeling nostalgic as hell for my 90’s childhood 😭 The themes explored are universally relatable, as everyone has (or will have to) navigate the awkwardness of growing up. Goofy, although unintentionally embarrassing, is an endearing single father who does everything he can to love and respect his son. Max is a total punk, but as a teen who wasn’t? You feel for his desire to be cool and to impress his crush. While A Goofy Movie is now 26 years old and can’t quite be classified as modern, I think it’s a super fun 1990s throwback that still holds up. A Goofy Movie is an underrated classic and I highly recommend rewatching if it’s been a while since you’ve seen it.
