History WesternAnimation / AGoofyMovie

* AdvertisedExtra: Despite being in only ''five'' scenes, four of which in the first act and three of those are the only ones of his with any bearing on the plot while the first is wordless and the fifth is a minor appearance in the finale, Bobby has more screentime in the original trailer than Roxanne, Pete and [[SirNotAppearingInThisTrailer especially PJ]], mostly to cash in on the then-immense popularity of Creator/PaulyShore, who plays him and is the only big-name actor in the cast (ironically, he received no screen credit, but Disney was clearly counting on gen-xers recognizing his voice and the fact that the character was basically [[InkSuitActor his animated avatar]]).

* RodandReelRepurposed: Max learns the ChekhovsSkill of the Perfect Cast from his father. This comes in handy when [[spoiler:Max uses a fishing pole to rescue Goofy from certain doom at the bottom of a steep waterfall.]]

* VocalDissonance: The BigBeautifulWoman seen "On the Open Road" with her [[TinyGuyHugeGirl tiny beau]] has a deep, gruff speaking voice that would rival Pete's. [[spoiler:The ConcertClimax reveals at the end that she has an amazing and somewhat feminine singing voice.]]

* NonSequiturThud: While Goofy and Max were spending a night in the their car:
-->'''Goofy:''' (''half-asleep'') How many cups of sugar does it take to get to the moon?\\
'''Max:''' Uh... three and a half?\\
'''Goofy:''' ... ''(thud)'' ZZZZZ...

* NoAntagonist: The main conflict in the movie comes from Max and Goofy. The series' regular antagonist, Pete, barely does anything at all.

* AnAesop:
** The relationship between a parent and a child should be one of mutual trust and respect. Growing up doesn't mean your parent can't still be an important part of your life, as long as you're willing to see eye to eye. This goes both ways: Max has to learn to be honest with his dad and understand his perspective, while Goofy has to learn that his son is growing up and becoming his own person. As stated in Powerline's final number, "If we listen to each other's heart, we'll find we're never too far apart."
** Also, as Pete tells Goofy, there is a difference between love and respect. There can be respect without love, and vice versa.
** There's nothing wrong with inheriting certain family quirks, even if your dad is a little goofy. There really is no such thing as a normal family.
** You don't have to lie about who you are to get others to like you; just BeYourself.

'''Goofy:''' Why? So you'll end up in prison?\\

* EurekaMoment: Played for drama. [[spoiler:During the climactic argument between Max and Goofy, Max yells at Goofy that "I've got my own life now!" after putting up with Goofy the whole trip. Goofy's response is "I know that! I just wanted to be part of it!" which causes Max to [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone realize just how badly he's messed things up with his dad]], and finally just tell Goofy why he's been so upset the whole time.]]

* TeensAreShort: Every time a teenage character is seen next to a parent, he or she is at least a head shorter.
