In the 1995 film A Goofy Movie, Goofy drags his son, Max, across the country to go on a fishing trip---far from his beloved crush, Roxanne. Here, Max and Roxanne are made from painted sea shells and shark teeth found on the beaches of Venice, Florida.
A Goofy Movie was not a big hit when it debuted (I saw it in the theaters twice), but over the years it has gained a large following. It joins other Disney films like The Nightmare Before Christmas and Hocus Pocus that were not big successes in their debut but gained a huge following later.
Max was voiced by Jason Marsden, who many 1990s kids may remember as a live action TV series regular on Step by Step and Boy Meets World.
Roxanne was voiced by Kellie Martin, who was a familiar face on TV on shows like Life Goes On and ER. She was also the voice of Daphne on A Pup Named Scooby Doo. In a way, Roxanne is kind of a cross between Daphne and Scooby Doo.
The characters have pictures of their loving fathers (taken by Goofy in his photography studio at Kmart). Roxanne's Dad is a snarling, ferocious dog who adores his darling daughter. Poor Goofy (voiced by Bill Farmer), the ever cheerful soul, must clash with an aloof, moody teenager.
