Line 3: '''''A Goofy Movie''''' is a 1995 animated film from [[Disney]], starring, of course, [[Goofy]]. As in ''[[~~Goof Troop (Animation)\|~~Goof Troop]]'', Goofy is a single father to teenage Max Goof. After Max gets into trouble on the last day of school, Goofy becomes worried that he hasn't been spending enough time with Max, and decides to take him on a father-son road trip. Max, however, is embarrassed by his dad, and is more worried about impressing the girl of his dreams, Roxanne. When the road trip means he'll have to miss a date with her, he claims it's because Goofy is taking him to a concert in Los Angeles, where he will appear on stage. [[Hilarity Ensues]]. The film was directed by Kevin Lima, who would go on to direct Disney's ''[[Tarzan (Disney film)\|Tarzan]]'', ''[[101 Dalmatians ~~(Disney)~~\|102 Dalmatians]]'' and ''[[Enchanted]]'', but ''A Goofy Movie'' was not animated by Disney's main animation team in Burbank, but farmed out to studios in Australia, Canada, and France. ''A Goofy Movie'' was pretty successful in theaters, and eventually got a direct-to-video sequel, ''An Extremely Goofy Movie'' (2000). The sequel covers Max going to college, while Goofy [[Back to School\|joins him]]. The first film is considered by some to be an underrated classic, with some clever comedic bits and some heart and soul between Max and Goofy's relationship. ~~----~~ ~~=== '''''[[A Goofy Movie]]'' provides examples of:''' ===~~ {{tropelist}} * [[~~Emphasis~~AcCENT OnUpon the Wrong ~~Syllable~~SylLABle]]: By Goofy in "Nobody Else But You" to pull off a [[Painful Rhyme]].▼ {{quote\| ''Who deserves a hero's trophy / as we face each cata-STRO-PHE?''}}▼ * [[Accidental Dance Craze]]: Twice. ** Max gets a [[Squirrels in My Pants\|possum in his pants]], and everybody claps along and dances with him. Line 30 ⟶ 32: * [[Bunny Ears Lawyer]]: Max's friend Bobby is quite quirky and accepts payment in the form of spray-on cheese (which he eats raw) but no one else has the expertise to rig the school AV system to pull the stunt Max does. * [[The Cameo]]: [[Mickey Mouse]] and [[Donald Duck]] appear for a line or two as hitch-hikers during a musical number. Later Mickey can be seen for a second among the audience during the movie's [[Concert Climax]]. As if that wasn't enough already, Max has a Mickey phone on his nightstand. [[~~Bambi (Disney)\|~~Bambi]] and [[The Lion King ~~(Disney)~~\|Mufasa]] appear as [[Everything's Better ~~With~~with Plushies\|stuffed animals]] at Goofy's workplace. * A nightlight in the cheesy motel the crew stays at bears a striking resemblance to Ariel from ''[[~~The Little Mermaid (Disney)\|~~The Little Mermaid]]''. She can also be seen on a placard on stage (perhaps remnants of a school musical?) when Max sings "Stand Out". * [[Celebrity Lie]]: Max telling Roxanne he'll be at the Powerline concert. * [[Chekhov's Skill]]: The Perfect Cast. First used by Goofy as a means to kick off the Bigfoot subplot, later used during the climax {{spoiler\|by Max, to rescue his dad from falling to his death.}} ** Which also becomes a [[Chekhov's Boomerang]] in the [[Concert Climax]]. * [[Chuck Cunningham Syndrome]]: Peg and Pistol, as well as family pets Chainsaw and Waffles from ''[[~~Goof Troop (Animation)\|~~Goof Troop]]''. * [[Concert Climax]] * [[Conspicuously Light Patch]] Line 43 ⟶ 45: * [[Darker and Edgier]]: While not a "dark" film by any means, it definitely is more serious than the TV series at points. Goofy's and Max's father-son relationship was never in such turmoil in the TV show. * [[Demoted to Extra]]: Despite Goof Troop being about the Goof and Pete families, and Max, PJ, Goofy and Pete getting equal attention, this film is all about Max and Goofy. * [[Disney Animated Canon]]: ''A Goofy Movie'' is not part of the official canon due to its ties to ''[[~~Goof Troop (Animation)\|~~Goof Troop]]'' and the fact that it was not produced by the core Disney team in Burbank, but there are a lot of fans who would argue that it should be included, especially since it's a musical. ** [[~~Wikipedia (Wiki)\|~~Wikipedia]] states that the movie [[wikipedia:A Goofy Movie\|was co-produced with Walt Disney Feature Animation]], which is one reason why the fanbase sometimes adds the movie to the Canon, but Disney does not include it as part of the Canon, as would be shown [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5gqg3-5srs4 here]. ▲* [[Emphasis On the Wrong Syllable]]: By Goofy in "Nobody Else But You" to pull off a [[Painful Rhyme]]. ▲{{quote\| ''Who deserves a hero's trophy / as we face each cata-STRO-PHE?''}} * [[Eye Cam]]: Max, recovering from the news that Dad's dragging him on a vacation. * [[Fan Disservice]]: Pete wearing nothing but a pink Speedo = YE GADS! * [[Flanderization]]: Pete isn't nearly as cold towards PJ in the TV show as he is in the movies. TV Pete may have been strict, but he still seemed to care about his son. Movie Pete shows no genuine affection towards PJ at all, and seems to regard close relationships between a father and son, in general, as unhealthy. {{quote\| '''Goofy:''' You know, maybe Max isn't everything you think a son should be, but... he loves me.~~<br />~~ '''Pete:''' Hey! ''My'' son ''respects'' me. }} ** His relationship with Goofy seems to be a lot better, however, and he's much less overtly spiteful. Line 67: * [[Hooked Up Afterwards]]: Done with the pals of the [[Official Couple]]. Max's Pauly Shore-voiced friend Bobby has such a hook-up with Roxanne's valley-girl best friend Stacey, when they both reach for Bobby's can of cheez whiz that he dropped. Bobby lifts his dark sunglasses and smiles at her, and Stacey gives him a brace-filled smile back. It's a cute/quirky moment, but there is absolutely no lead-up to it whatsoever. * [[Inevitable Waterfall]] {{quote\| '''Goofy:''' Ah-hyuck. A waterfall. ([[Beat]]) '''[[Oh Crap\|A WATER]][[Delayed Reaction\|FALL?!]]'''}} * [[I See London]]: Goofy walks in on Max as his trouser fall down to reveal [[Stock Underwear]]. * [["I Want" Song]]: "After Today". Line 75: * [[Match Cut]]: After Goofy discovers {{spoiler\|Max's altered road map}}, he goes to lay on the bed in his motel apartment, with a closeup shown of his glum face. The camera slowly tilts and fades to him and Max back on the road, with Goofy still wearing the same expression on his face. * [[Meganekko]]: Stacey * [[Missing Mom]]: Like in ''[[~~Goof Troop (Animation)\|~~Goof Troop]]'' we haven't any clue, nor even a mention of Max's mother - whoeve she was, if she divorced from Goofy or died. Morevoer we neither see the mother of Max's friends - we only see their fathers (Pete and Roxanne's growling father). * [[Mood Whiplash]]: From a nice father-son bonding moment... {{spoiler\|to falling off of a waterfall.}} * [[The Musical]]: Yes, this movie is a musical. * [[Nightmare Sequence]]: The very start of the film is Max having one where [[Transformation Trauma\|he turns into his dad]]. * [[The Nineties]]: Quite notably a product of its era. Lacks most of the grungy stereotypes, but there's flannel everywhere, Max's hoodie is an obvious clue, baggy pants are in, ''etc''. Also, Pauly Shore. ** Powerline is the ultimate early-90s pop star amalgam of [[~~Prince (Music)\|~~Prince]] [[X Meets Y\|and]] [[~~Michael Jackson (Music)\|~~Michael Jackson]] with a healthy scoop of Bobby Brown thrown in just because. * [[Non Sequitur Thud]]: While Goofy and Max were spending a night in the their car: {{quote\| '''Goofy:''' (''half-asleep'') How many cups of sugar does it take to get to the moon?~~<br />~~ '''Max:''' Uh... three and a half?~~<br />~~ '''Goofy:''' ... ''thud'' ZZZZZ... }} * [[Oh Crap]]: Several times. Line 96: Goofy and Max's entire relationship in the first movie could be summed up as this too. Max spends most of the movie mad at Goofy, and Goofy spends it completely oblivious to how his son actually feels, and neither one actually takes the time to just talk directly about their problems, until near the climax of the film, when they're ''about to careen over a waterfall because of it''. * Many parents of teenagers will agree that [[Truth in Television\|yeah, it's exactly like that.]] * [[Punctuated! ~~for~~For! Emphasis!]]: As Goofy accuses Max of ruining the vacation, Max shouts, "I ''never''! Wanted to ''go''! On this ''stupid''! '''''VACATION!!!'''''" * [[Rage Breaking Point]]: Max after the horrid trip to the Possum Park. He was already seething after the embarrassing moment Goofy dragged him into, but then exploded when Goofy presented him the possum hat that he threw down in anger before (thinking he had "dropped it"). {{quote\| '''Goofy:''' "Max? Hey, what the heck are you trying to do?"~~<br />~~ '''Max:''' "I'm trying to get away from you!"~~<br />~~ '''Goofy:''' "... me...? What did I do?"~~<br />~~ '''Max:''' "Oh forget it."~~<br />~~ '''Goofy:''' "I thought we was havin' fun? What's the matter?"~~<br />~~ '''Max:''' "Nothing okay? Let's just go! ... Well come on!" (Goofy opens the car and they get in, with Max seething)~~<br />~~ '''Goofy:''' (presents Max the possum hat he threw down) "Uh... you dropped your hat."~~<br />~~ '''Max:''' (explodes and starts to angrily slam the hat) "'''GRAAAAHHH!!! THIS IS THE STUPIDEST VACATION! YOU DRAG ME FROM HOME, JAM ME IN THIS DUMB CAR, DRIVE A MILLION MILES AWAY, AND SEE SOME STUPID RAT SHOW!!!''' (throws hat out window) Call me when the trip's over!" }} * [[Recurring Extra]]: A group of nuns keeps showing up all throughout Goofy and Max's road trip, including at the Powerline concert. ** In most cases, almost everyone outside Max's school is seen everywhere. Either the entire world (but Goofy) is into Powerline concerts, or they all know being around the Goofy family nets them screentime. * [[The Renaissance Age of Animation]]: Technically not part of the [[Disney Animated Canon]] but very well-liked nonetheless. * [[Road Movie]] * [[Sadist Teacher]]: In addition to making Max's end-of-year stunt sound like a ''gang fight'' and implying he should be ''executed'' for it, the principal of Max's high school is apparently out to ruin his students' summer by planning events that involve ''coming to school and learning''. Line 116: When Pete meets up with Goofy at the campsite, he refers to the occasion as a [[Song of the South\|serendipity-doo-dah]]. Two were featured back to back in "On the Open Road". {{quote\| '''Goofy:''' [[Pinocchio (Disney film)\|I got no strings on me]]. I'm feelin' [[Fun and Fancy Free ~~(Disney)~~\|fancy free]].}} During the montage of Max and Goofy's pit stops one of the places they visit looks suspiciously like Main Street USA from the Magic Kingdom. The Neptune Inn has a similar layout and design as the Caribbean Beach Resort at Walt Disney World. Line 124: * [[Stock Scream]]: The famous "Goofy holler" is used twice just in the titles, apparently as a sort of [[Leitmotif]]. There is also a Wilhelm Scream when {{spoiler\|their car runs into the scaffolding on the highway}}. The use of the Goofy Holler is later averted ''hard'' when {{spoiler\|Goofy goes over the waterfall.}} * [[Suck E. Cheese's]]: Combined with [[Affectionate Parody]] of Disney's own "Country Bear Jamboree". * [[Sure, Let's Go ~~With~~with That]]: Powerline is initially surprised at Goofy's unexpected appearance on stage during he concert, but keeps playing along when Goofy does the Perfect Cast and turns it into a dance step. * [[Suspiciously Apropos Music]]: By the time they join Powerline on stage, Goofy and Max have learnt to see each other's point of view. Naturally, that just happens to be the topic of the song they cut in on. * [[Take Our Word for It]]: Averted. "Check the map, Goof!" Line 134: * [[World of Funny Animals]] === ~~'''~~The sequel, ''An Extremely Goofy Movie'', provides examples of~~:'''~~ === * [[Accidental Athlete]]: With a little help, Goofy surprisingly winds up showing some skill in skateboarding. * [[Arrogant Kung Fu Guy]]: All of the Gammas, especially Brad. Line 141: * [[Big No]]: Max, after finding out his dad returned to college, specifically the one he's attending RIGHT NOW. ** Goofy does it as well {{spoiler\|when he sees Max and Tank crash into the gigantic X.}} * [[Bowdlerise]]: According to [[~~Wikipedia (Wiki)\|~~Wikipedia]], the tragedies of September ~~11th~~11, 2001 in New York, New York, Arlington, Virginia, and Shanksville, Pennsylvania resulted in most television runs of the sequel haphazardly removing a segment involving a gigantic flaming X that puts many of the characters in trouble. The result is an awkward flash of "Look Out! They're Doomed! They're ALIVE!" within a matter of seconds. In the midst of the quick cuts, you can actually see the X on the ground, broken and smoking. ** That, and it leaves out the explanation on why Tank is with Goofy and Max and {{spoiler\|pulls a [[Heel Face Turn]] on Brad at the end.}} * [[Brotherhood of Funny Hats]]: The Gammas. Line 175: * [[Oddly-Named Sequel 2: Electric Boogaloo]] * [[Opposing Sports Team]] * [[Punctuated! ~~for~~For! Emphasis!]]: Goofy's boss yells "You're... FIRED!!!!!!!!!!!!" once he practically destroys the assembly line missing Max. ** Max: "GET! YOUR OWN! LIFE!" * [[Redhead in Green]]: Sylvia in her disco clothes, and also the clothes salesman girl in Goofy and Max's college life montage. * [[Sequel Non Entity]]: As mentioned above, Roxanne (Max's love interest in the first movie) is neither shown nor mentioned. * [[Shout-Out]] (possibly [[Hey, It's That Voice!]]): Curiously, one of the play-by-play appears to be modeled on legendary ABC college football broadcaster Keith Jackson. Also during the scene where the group set off for college, when PJ can't make up his mind about which way ''Louie road'' is, an annoyed Max exclaims, [[~~Duck Tales~~DuckTales (~~Animation~~1987)\|"Louie, Huey, Dewey]], what are you talking about?!" Max's teddy bear, named Old Stuffed Bear, actually made his first appearance in the ''Have Yourself a Goofy Christmas'' segment from ''Mickey's Once Upon a Christmas''. {{spoiler\|Old Stuffed Bear seems to be in perfect condition, despite [[Series Continuity Error\|his arm accidentally getting ripped off by Max in the Christmas segment]].}} * {{spoiler\|So there's no possibility that it could have been fixed?}} This little bit from the unemployment office scene: {{quote\| '''[[Larynx Dissonance\|Female Interviewer:]]''' "Well, doll... Uh, Mr. Goof. [[The Little Mermaid\|The answer to your problem is simple.]] The only way to build your career is to go back to college."}} * [[The Smurfette Principle]]: Beret Girl and the collage librarian, Sylvia Marpole, are good supporting characters despite being the only female characters in the movie. * [[Trademark Favorite Food]]: The infamous can of "cheese spray".
