‘Not Just a Goof’ Is Now Streaming on Disney+
While films like The Lion King, Aladdin, and Beauty and the Beast would launch Walt Disney Animation to unparalleled heights in the 1990s, for those who grew up in the decade, A Goofy Movie will always be the quintessential 90s film.
As we have seen in recent weeks, nostalgia for Disney’s 1995 animated classic is at an all-time high. In recent weeks, a new Powerline Max popcorn bucket debuted, and a flood of new Goofy Movie merchandise hit shelves.

“I was a first-time director. I had a first-time head of story. And I had a first-time lead editor. I thought we had the opportunity to make a John Hughes movie in animation,” Lima says.
