Trivia:

There are several references to Disney characters, including a game of 20 Questions, ("Man or woman?" "Man..." "Hmm... Walt Disney?" "Right..."), Max saying Goofy's 'best buddy' is Donald Duck, a cardboard prop with Ariel from "The Little Mermaid" after Max gets "busted", and a hitch-hiking Mickey Mouse (accompanied by Donald) having a small part in the song "On The Open Road".

Goofs:

Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): Lester introduces his possum band from left to right as Buford, Beulah, and Mordecai. When Mordecai asks Lester if ready to yodel, he replies, "Sure am, Buford!"

Quotes:

[Goofy pulls the cigarette lighter out of the dashboard to heat soup]
Goofy: It's nice to know this thing's good for somethin'.

Max, the little eleven-year-old on Goof Troop, that's not him in this he's grown up, and this is not what I excpected, it's a rare movie they don't make often. The theme here is old-fashioned dad growing up in the 60's meets your typical 90's teenager. Max is a teenager in this movie after trying to impress Roxanne, the girl of his dreams by performing a Powerline concert with him without telling anybody, something that has great imagination. He gets busted and is threatened to get put in the electric chair so Goofy decides to take him on a fishing trip to Idaho. The films got great music that I enjoy listening to on tape. Max later changes the map so they can go to the Powerline concert in La cause he couldn't see it at the graduation party he had to miss. I can relate this movie to how we all fell sometimes as teenagers. Max is mean spiritted, and tries to avoid being around his dad, and is embarresed by him and slams him for being so old-fashioned and clueless to the teen culture. He evolves towards the end, and changes and is nicer and learns to appreciate and like being around his Goofy dad and except him. In one scence at the possum park Max almost says my life's a living hell but gets cut off by a possum which I got laughs from him decking the Chuckee Cheese like thing trying to Cheer him up in a geeky friendly way. The theme is an odd couple a 90's teen stuck with a goofy old-fashioned dad. This is one of the funniest, best Disney movies ever. There's plenty of slapstick comedy like on Goof Troop.
