There are certain movies you watch and don't realize the impact they'll have on you. For many, one of those films is Disney's 1995 classic, A Goofy Movie.
On paper, the idea shouldn't work, but once you watch it, you'll realize that A Goofy Movie is anything but. If anything, it proves an excellent watch for both kids and adults alike. As a kid, I remember watching the movie and loving it, especially the songs.
Looking back, I can see why A Goofy Movie was one of my favorites, but I can see why my parents tolerated watching it as well. At its core, the story is about Max and Goofy's relationship, which is rocky at points and hard to watch. That's why it was so great to see Bill Farmer share his take as the voice of Goofy.
When speaking to People, Farmer shared, "When I first saw a rough cut of the movie, I knew it had a great deal of heart, more so than most animated movies, but I had no idea that it would affect so many fathers and sons, especially throughout the years." That's putting it mildly as it's become a favorite for many millennial viewers.

Farmer even shared just how impactful it has been with his fans. When speaking about the film, he had this to say: "Over the last 30 years, it has become the number-one thing that I talk about with fans at events and Comic-Cons and things — they always ask about A Goofy Movie and say, 'Thank you for my childhood. I couldn't talk to my dad until that movie came out. It became our movie." Honestly, reading that just makes me smile, as it proves just how impactful A Goofy Movie is all these years later.
While Farmer shared his own experience with fans, it's clear everyone is hoping for a piece of A Goofy Movie this year. On the Loungefly website, all of the A Goofy Movie items are already sold out, along with multiple items on the Shop Disney website. Who can blame fans, though? A Goofy Movie has everything a good Disney movie needs, including great music, an incredible story, and undeniably solid animation.
Whether you're revisiting A Goofy Movie years later or watching it for the first time, you're sure to get hooked on the film. Before you know it, you'll be humming "I2I" while doing your laundry.
