Goofy’s efforts to develop a closer relationship with Max and his sincere love for him are touching and commendable. Max respects his dad, but they definitely have a generation gap which separates them. Goofy tries to impress Max with their long family heritage, but Max is more interested in his friends and getting to see the big upcoming rock concert in Los Angeles. Max is thoroughly enamored with his charming teenage girlfriend, Roxanne, and they have a healthy, budding relationship. Max can’t resist deceiving his dad into going to Los Angeles, but he eventually confesses to his misdeed and their experiences do bring them closer together. The action involves some humorous striking of various characters and some harmless destruction of building and autos, but they are not excessive. Unlike many cartoon movies, this one doesn’t depend on slapstick violence to entertain. There’s no offensive language in the dialogue and the only suggestive element is a mermaid lamp in a motel. Overall, A GOOFY MOVIE is a wholesome, fast moving children’s film with a touching theme of father-son bonding.
