When you see something 90s in A Goofy Movie, take a drink. When Pauly Shore playing Pauly Shore as a dog boy is on screen, fall into an alcoholic coma. Grounding it in the "culture" of the time makes it even more dated than Tugboat Mickey, but at its core is a heartfelt father/son story that may well melt your heart, and the animation has some very cool transitions, and of course, a lot of well-choreographed slapstick. I think we can forgive it its (I'll say it) goofy sitcom plot and enjoy the trip. If Goofy is himself charmingly pathetic (a congenital condition that Max fears), the saddest thing about it isn't his being bullied at work or his fear of his son drifting away from him. Rather, it's that they canonically imply that his best friend is Donald Duck. Oh, honey. And then later, we see Donald hiking with MICKEY, so it's not even a mutual BFF relationship. What I really want to know is: Why are those nuns everywhere the Goofs go?
