#GOOFY MOVIE CHILDHOOD NOSTALGIA EYE2EYE POWERLINE MOVIE#
We’re familiar.īased on the television series Goof Troop, A Goofy Movie follows Max (Jason Marsden) who - after being afflicted with heartsickness by the likes of the shapely Roxanne (Kellie Martin) - finagles a cross-country bonding scheme with his overly eager yet well-meaning dad, Goofy (Bill Farmer) to attend a rockstar’s concert in hopes of impressing said shapely muse. Plus, A Goofy Movie was black - very, very very black.

A Goofy Movie turned an eccentric sidekick narrative upside down, and blasted it into an ethos rife with Goofy’s own arc, world-building and a powerful soundtrack to boot. The answer, which likely has something to do with Goofy’s inferior popularity in comparison to Mickey Mouse or Donald Duck (who each had cute cameos in the film), is unacceptable. Why isn’t it in the same conversation as Beauty and the Beast, The Lion King, or The Little Mermaid ? Why have people who have consumed the myriad of other films within Disney’s rich catalogue decided to brush this one off? Far too often is the 1995 film neglected from the conversation concerning top all-time Disney classics.

If Walt Disney Studios had its own version of TVOne’s Unsung, A Goofy Movie would be featured in the series premiere.
