'A Goofy Movie' is a certified Disney classic due to the amazing people behind it and the fanbase that came with time. And 'Not Just A Goof' is a love letter to all of them!
If you grew up with that perfect slice of the 90s, then this wonderful documentary is worth the watch. And if you're at all a Disney fan, like myself, pair it with a viewing of 'A Goofy Movie' afterword. It was a whole new viewing experience!
Not Just a Goof is an inspiring and heartwarming story of true underdogs with a chance to do something great.
And the doc is independently made! This is a major accomplishment. It's not every day a true indie film is created and brought into the fold at Disney Studios.
I love the celebration of what I believe is a true Disney Classic.
There is so much heart in this film and so much love poured into every frame - the score is also beautiful!
ENJOY!!!!!!!!
It was awesome to see behind the scenes to the greatest 90's Disney film and top 10 movies of that generation. We love you all who helped make this possible. You are loved in cherished through every30 to 40 year old smile.
This documentary reminded of why I watched the movie fove times in theateres. My Dad was working three jobs, I really didnt know at 8 years old. We thought my mom was going to die from bacterial minengitis, so I spent all my birthday money to get my Dad to go with me to theateres to try and make a connection with him. So if I had lost my mom, we had something to connect over. Luckily we didnt lose her, but it was a long road to recovery, that so much so we watched the movies on VHS while she was bed ridden.
This movie gave me comfort when I needed it the most.
Positives for Not Just a Goof (2025): It was fascinating to watch this documentary on a movie that I am surprised failed at first and manage to grow legs over time. It was nice to see these interviews with people who genuinely cared about making this movie. It was also nice to see clips of fans and critics saying awesome things about the movie. I loved seeing the concept arts for this movie. And finally, it was just nice see Disney finally acknowledge this movie for its greatness.
Overall, Not Just a Goof (2025) is a wonderful documentary movie on a phenomenal Disney animated movie.
It explores the behind-the-scenes process, shedding light on the creative challenges and triumphs that shaped this beloved film. I found the documentary to be well-crafted and enjoyable, especially the added animation elements, which were both creative and engaging. However, as someone from Gen Z who didn't grow up with Goofy and only watched the movie years after its release, I struggled to fully grasp the documentary's overall purpose. While I didn't personally find the need for a documentary on the film, I can see how it would be a treasure for long-time fans of *A Goofy Movie* or those interested in movie-making behind the scenes. For them, this documentary is definitely a must-watch.
