Description

Garsh! Here's some new fangled trivia for ya about my Goofy Movie. In fact, there's not just one but thirteen juicy morsels that'll wet your whistle, hyuck!

13. The character of Powerline is a mixture of Bobby Brown, Prince, and Michael Jackson.

12. Although Jason Marsden is a talented singer, he did not perform the musical numbers in the film. It was out of Disney's concern that a Broadway-style musical actor should provide Max's singing voice instead. That actor was Aaron Lohr, a personal close friend of Jason's.

11. Donald Duck originally had a larger role where he played a travel agent. Goofy asks "What do you think I should do?" Donald responds incoherently. Goofy responds, "What did you say? Is there someone else I can talk to?"

10. HIDDEN MICKEY: During the Powerline Concert, Mickey Mouse can be spotted in the crowd in the lower left portion of the crowd shot immediately after the Stage manager is thrown into the DiamondVision screen. He also can be spotted during the show in the auditorium, and on the road side with Donald duck.

9. This film was originally made around late 1993, and was supposed to be released in theaters during the holiday season of 1994. However, some production problems in France caused the film's release to be pushed back to 1995, while The Lion King was reissued to fill in for the film's absence.

8. Burger King released five toys featuring Goofy and Max to promote the film in the USA in 1995. They each included the characters on one of five different vehicles.

7. The inspiration for the film came from then CEO of The Walt Disney Company, Jeffrey Katzenberg who was feeling distant from his daughter. He decided to go on a road trip with her that brought the two closer together.

6. Bobby Brown was originally set to voice Powerline and had already recorded some songs for the character, but was fired due to substance abuse issues. Some of the songs Bobby did for the movie were revamped and ended up on his "Forever" album.

5. When Max gets stopped by the principle at the end of the song "Stand Out" at the school concert, A wooden cut out of Ariel can be seen sitting on top of a skull.

4. Writer Jymn Magon, watched a lot of road trip movies to get an idea of different tropes of vacation movies to draw from, including National Lampoon's Vacation series. Coincidentally, the late Dana Hill appeared in 1985's National Lampoon's European Vacation as daughter, Audrey Griswold.

3. For unclear reasons, Pete's wife, Peg and his daughter, Pistol, not to mention Waffles and Chainsaw as well, were all totally absent and never even referenced in either this film or it's sequel.

2. In the scene after Big Foot attacks Max and Goofy, Max kicks the glove box and a map falls out. Max, then, looks at it. The starting location is around the area of Columbus, Ohio, answering a question that's been around for ages: "Where does Goofy live?"

1. Voice actor Bill Farmer mentioned that he took his then-five year old son to an advanced screening of the film. Upon exiting the theater, his son was in tears. When asked why he was crying, his son responded with "When Goofy fell off the waterfall, I thought that was you!"
