The episode “Quack Pack!” marked Goofy’s first appearance on the show. It’s one of the great mysteries of life, I guess!”įor those wondering what Max and his dad are up to these days, look no further than the season 3 premiere of DuckTales that aired on Disney XD this past weekend. My theory is, he was married to Jessica Rabbit before Roger, and it just didn’t work out. “There’s never been any explanation from Disney on any level at all. “That’s probably one of the biggest questions people ask me: Who’s Max’s mom?” Farmer says.

It’s a bumpy road, but eventually Goofy and Max are able to use the time to genuinely grow closer and see past their differences.Ī Goofy Movie portrays such a compelling father-son relationship that sometimes it’s easy to overlook one particular absence in the Goof family: Who is Max’s mother? In his original 1995 review, Roger Ebert mused, “Someday I would like to see a cartoon about the court battle he went through to gain custody of Max.” Far from it, Disney has never provided a canonical answer as to Max’s maternal parentage. Just as Max secures a date to watch the next Powerline concert alongside his crush Roxanne (Kellie Martin), Goofy makes a spur-of-the-moment plan to take Max fishing with him on the other side of the country, hoping to recreate a bonding experience that he once shared with his own father. Now a high school student, Max wants nothing more than to be cool (in the vein of his favorite rock star, Powerline) but his dad is anything but.

I hear people say, ‘Yeah, I couldn’t talk to my dad very well, we weren’t that close, but A Goofy Movie kind of brought us together and we would play it every year, or put on the soundtrack in the car.’ That one movie has kind of identified with people more than anything else I’ve ever done.”īuilding off the Disney Afternoon series Goof Troop, A Goofy Movie finds Goofy raising his son Max as a single father. “Whether it’s fans at Comic Cons or just people writing to me, nothing I’ve ever done has equaled A Goofy Movie in terms of the effect that it’s had on audiences. “I’ve probably done close to 4,000 projects for Disney, but A Goofy Movie was unlike any other project that I’ve worked on over the last 33 years,” Farmer, who has voiced Goofy since 1987, tells EW.

The result is a heartwarming, hilarious movie that’s stayed with people for decades. Directed by Kevin Lima, the movie put Goofy (voiced by Bill Farmer) front and center alongside his son Max (Jason Marsden). But A Goofy Movie, released 25 years ago this week, is a major exception to that rule. Most of the time, Goofy plays a decidedly second-fiddle or comic relief role even in the Kingdom Hearts games, surely one of the wildest Disney tie-ins ever made, where Goofy is wielding a shield and fighting monsters made of darkness, he’s mostly there to support Sora, the player character. Goofy, the iconic vest-wearing dog of animated fame, has been palling around with Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck for decades now.
