When Max makes an preposterous promise to a girl he has a crush on, his chances to fulfilling it seem hopeless when he is dragged onto a cross-country trip with his embarrassing father, Goofy.
Goofy was always a secondary character, ranking behind Mickey and Donald, as well as Minnie. He edges out Daisy, but that's only because she has never really been developed. But with "Goofy Movie", he finally gets his due, even if he still has to be second fiddle to his son. (The movie conveniently ignores how Goofy had a son.) The film is fun, and really captures the 1990s. This is both a strength (nostalgia) and a weakness (Pauly Shore). What is odd is that I think we are supposed to identify with Max, but we actually identify more with Goofy himself, as Max comes off as rude, boastful and disrespectful.
