A Goofy Movie

Teenager Max just wants to win over his crush and fit in at school, but a chaotic cross‑country road trip with his well‑meaning yet clueless dad forces him to confront the clash between teenage independence and goofy parenting before their bond—and his confidence—hangs in the balance.

“It's hard to be cool when your Dad is Goofy.”

Synopsis

Max, Goofy's teenage son, is eager to impress his crush and gain acceptance at school. When Goofy, well-meaning but clueless, unexpectedly takes him on a cross-country road trip—ruining Max’s first date—tensions arise between Goofy's old-fashioned parenting style and Max's yearning for independence. Their journey becomes a series of comedic mishaps as they gradually learn to understand and listen to each other.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

A crew of 739+ credited

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.

Box Office

1995 · Box office

⚖️ Fell short of break-even — grossed 2.0× its budget

Why 2.5×?

Cinemas keep roughly half of every ticket sold, and a wide release’s marketing often costs about as much again as the film — so a movie needs to gross around 2.5× its production budget just to break even theatrically. It’s a rule of thumb, not the studio’s ledger (home video and streaming come later).
