Kevin Lima, director of A Goofy Movie, has recently tweeted a bunch of cool and interesting trivia about the movie for its 25th anniversary watch party hosted by D23. I don't have much else to add, except that I have fond memories of watching it on the big screen back in the mid 90's (damn, was it really that long ago? It doesn't feel that way to me somehow.) IIRC my local theater played the Mickey Mouse short Runaway Brain before the movie, too.

(I thought this thread could use some positivity for a change.)

Oh damn, it's been 25 years already?

I've never seen Goof Troop, but A Goofy Movie was a great father-son road-trip movie, I honestly can't think of any other road-trip movies that's been able to top it. I even can appreciate the sequel An Extremely Goofy Movie for not treating it as a typical college/university movie in showing that both parent and child can go to school together. Surely helped in broadening a young kid's view of the adult world. Think my parents were also getting their teaching degrees at the time as well, so yeah, definitely helped.

It's Not the Mandela Effect! Disney Actually Altered a Scene in "Lilo & Stitch" | Inside the Magic

For safety concerns, Walt Disney Animation did, in fact, change an early scene in its classic film "Lilo & Stitch" after the first edition DVD was released.

Late as fuck but I’m pretty sure the pizza box version was originally for Europe cause those hand wringing euros actually thought the scene would encourage dumb kids to jump into driers.

I had no idea that the opening bit where Max transforms into Goofy was an homage to An American Werewolf in London.

Anyway, it's kind of amazing that A Goofy Movie ever hit theaters considering the DuckTales film was a flop and that killed off other ideas for movies based on Disney Afternoon shows (there was to be a Rescue Rangers film as well). It was only a modest success at the box office. Yet here we are now, 25 years later, and everybody loves it. I can't say why that is, but honestly, I think it's just relatable enough and fun enough that it works really fucking well.

It was perhaps the most successful movie based on a Disney TV cartoon, though. They did a few based on the One Saturday Morning shows later, and while a few of them were as good as this (I love the Teacher's Pet film) none of them were successes.

True, and I thought "Doug's 1st Movie" seemed like a waste of celluloid when that hit the screen.

You know, it was supposed to go direct-to-video, but when they saw how well the Rugrats movie was doing they rushed it into theaters.

Calling it "Doug's 1st Movie" before knowing if there'd even be sequels was a dumb move as well. I can only assume that decision was influenced by 4Kids giving the first Pokemon movie the title "Pokemon the First Movie". Though at least 4Kids had the benefit of knowing that the second Pokemon movie would premiere in Japan before the first movie would see it's international release.
 
Like some here I didn't watched Goof troop before the film, hell I would even say that this was my introduction to Max as a character and despite the fact I enjoy the film, it really talks about the quality of the movie when you can skip the series and still feel the emotional impact of some scenes. But I was more a fan of An Extremely Goofy Movie even if I always get bored with the obvious forced extreme competition sub-plot.
There's also that Christmas special where Max comes back to visit Goofy with his girlfriend if you wanna "continuation" of sorts of the Goofy saga.
 
Let me make it known that PJ is a total chad underdog who had a shitty dad, a mom who left, an overall stressful abusive upbringing, and eventually landed a hot babe in college while pulling some sick dance moves.

Jason Marsden is a beautiful man. Still looks good at his age and hes not involved in the Hollywood scene anymore since he moved to Nashville.

I still remember when he did promos for the Disney Channel. I guess you could say Max was his star making role? (Aside from appearing on Baywatch and voicing Thackary Binx in Hocus Pocus)

He popped up as several characters in Skyrim. I almost did a double take.

He was Kovu in Lion King 2 and the dub of Spirited Away as well. I think he was also in Fairly Oddparents. He has a decent range imo.

Which is funny considering even Disney's sequel rapping of their classic films had better animation than Doug's First Movie, and they tend to be pretty lackluster as it is.

Oh my God, I was getting worried I was kinda crazy for thinking I might've been the only one who even had an iota of enjoyment out of that movie. It's super fucking weird, kinda uncomfortable at times as well, and yet it's fascinating how that movie even made it to theaters and then was just forgotten about. I can't even believe my mom thought it was good enough to get on DVD, it got crude at times.
 
It's been ages since I saw A Goofy Movie but I remember liking it a lot as a kid, it was weird and interesting to see a Disney cartoon version of normal world places like motels and big box stores.

An Extremely Goofy Movie is good as well.
