Nate S @smithn1124 Jul 11 Not Just a Goof was not only a documentary that honored the hardworking filmmakers behind a cult classic that took its time becoming so and the fans who found great meaning in its story, but showcased creativity and depth not often seen in retrospective documentaries like these.

But what it actually did is a little more than just recollecting the struggles and reminiscing the passions, it pleaded the case by retrospect and grown fondness over the expanded legacy through pop culture like a late bloomer. Not only that, but the film appealingly treated garnered viewers with briefly revived traditionally drawn animation in all its tender crispy goodness of everlasting craft when an artist personally, skillfully and faithfully emits the occurring emotions amidst required fun. Although there are few details omitted surrounding various circumstances that are factually incomplete from ranging awareness. Nonetheless, the film exceptionally delivered with an always effective structural craft in excellent form, actually surpasses its own central subject.

I like seeing the cast and crew looking back on its production, it's nice to see Jeffrey Katzenberg being talked about in a way that depicts him as reasonable whilst not mincing words regarding bad ideas such as having Steve Martin as Goofy, the mid-'90s archive footage is nostalgic and the small animated segments dramatising BTS woes are well-implemented without coming off as an afterthought to get people who otherwise wouldn't be caught dead watching documentaries to see this one. You can tell this was a passion project for this crew and how grateful they were when the film got vindicated by history after being dismissed for not being an 80-minute-long Goofy cartoon. That's all I have to say about this doc. No contrarian comments from me dismissing this as a cynical ad for a film nearly turning 30.

See more Buddy M @RT34761865 05/16/2025 Growing up, I definitely saw A Goofy Movie but it wasn't one that stuck with me after childhood. After seeing this release, I re-watched the original movie, for the first time in 20+ years, then watched this right after. The original movie was way better than it had any business being. Good story with a lot of heart. This doc was very entertaining as well. Again, I'm not the biggest Goofy fan but still found this enjoyable and very well made. I could see hardcore Disney/Goofy fans loving this more than I did. See more Read all reviews
