- 75Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertChicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertI realized the human potential movement has gotten completely out of hand when I heard Goofy telling Max they needed to spend more "quality time" together.
- 63Chicago TribuneJohn PetrakisChicago TribuneJohn PetrakisUltimately, the weight of the film falls on Goofy's powerful shoulders. He does his best, but like Norma Desmond, he can only do so much.
- 60Los Angeles TimesPeter RainerLos Angeles TimesPeter RainerDirected by Kevin Lima and produced by Dan Rounds, it moves briskly, and, if it doesn’t make a star out of Goofy, it doesn’t trash him either. It lets Goofy be Goofy.
- 50The New York TimesStephen HoldenThe New York TimesStephen HoldenA Goofy Movie is engaging in its mild-mannered way, but the story is too rambling and emotionally diffuse for the title character to come fully alive.
- 50VarietyTodd McCarthyVarietyTodd McCarthyBrightly drawn, fast-moving and mercifully short, efficient effort is a male bonding saga that hinges upon the fears of teenage pooch Max that he’ll grow up to be just as goofy as Dad.
- 50Baltimore SunStephen HunterBaltimore SunStephen HunterA Goofy Movie is filled with rock sequences that aren't hard enough to please real teen-agers but are too hard to attract any grown-ups. The music sounds like it was composed by Marie Osmond on PCP. [07 Apr 1995]
- For parents, the burning issue ignited by A Goofy Movie is ”Will it buy us 78 minutes of peace and quiet?” Provided the kids are old enough to follow a wandering story line that centers on single father Goofy’s adolescent son Max and his quest for peer acceptance as well as he love of a pert humanoid bitch (in the doggy sense), the answer is yes.
- 25San Francisco ChroniclePeter StackSan Francisco ChroniclePeter StackOverall, A Goofy Movie is an incoherent mess that jumps from one unlikely, brainless, crash-bang situation to another, with each element of a protracted father-son bonding story increasingly out of synch with the others.
- 20Austin ChronicleLouis BlackAustin ChronicleLouis BlackIf A Goofy Movie was one-fifth as demented as Tiny Toons, it might have been worth watching. Instead it is bland, a barely television-length cartoon stretched out to fill a feature, and not much fun.
