    Aladdin, The Lion King, Beauty and The Beast. All classic Disney animated films from the 1990s, and everyone knows it. These three behemoth Disney classics are all wonderful, but their success overshadowed another great Disney animated gem that came out during the glorious 1990s animation years: A Goofy Movie. The tale of a cross-country road trip between Goofy and his son Max, A Goofy Movie is funny, heartwarming and full of awesome music. As Goofy and Max travel to their ultimate destination, prime fishing spot Lake Destiny, they encounter Bigfoot, visit Lester’s Possum Park, and ultimately become much closer as a father and son, while Max learns that an outdoor adventure with dad isn’t the worst thing in the world. The trip culminates with the duo going to see Max’s favorite band, PowerLine, in L.A., and some really catchy music accompanies. Kevin Lima, director of Enchanted, crafts a film that defies stereotypical conventions of animated films, road trip comedies, and outdoor adventures, ultimately leaving viewers with a supremely satisfying experience. It’s nice to see Goofy take the spotlight for once, seeing as how that boring square Mickey Mouse seems to get all of the attention. As opposed to other, more well-known Disney classics, A Goofy Movie does not take itself too seriously, which is a breath of fresh air for animation lovers. Sometimes it’s nice to just sit back, laugh, and have a Goofy time.
