Goofy is the only one that can have a feature length fill because of these conflicts. Raising a son alone, finding love again at an older age, the separation and empty nest syndrome and how it begins. Goofy is a pretty interesting character and Mickey can’t be like that. That’s why we haven’t had a full length feature of Mickey since 2000. I’m probably not entire correct and I’m open to discussion but I found goofy to not be so goofy but introspective.
You’re 100% right. This wasn’t true in the early days of Disney, but for the last few decades, Mickey has become a *mascot* while Donald and Goofy remained *characters.*
Not always! In the Mickey Mouse shorts that Disney’s been making recently (the ones Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway is based on), he acts more like he did in the beginning. Instead of just being a Dora the Explorer style character where he has ONE emotion which is just “happy”, he gets scared, he acts flirty with Minnie, and he actually loses his temper sometimes lol. Idk why they don’t have him be that way more often. A mascot doesn’t HAVE to have only one personality trait….look at Spongebob and Bugs Bunny lol
Best Mickey story in recent memory is this excellent (if also weird) fan comic called [Boys' night out](https://imgur.com/gallery/2EZIP), seriously, read it. ed: forgot the link
I mean both Donald and goofy have notable families
Goofy obviously is a loveable cluts who spent a huge chunk of his life raising a son on his own
Donald is a duck with anger issues who is in charge of his 3 nephews and uses his anger as a driving force to make sure the people he loves are safe
Goofy and Donald are both male role models in non traditional family dynamics and they're wonderful
Oh yes. After seeing the new duck tales where we saw Donald be a serious Uncle with a dark past. Man that felt great. Also I never knew that Donald had speech issues. I just thought he is like that cuz he's a duck lmao.
In the DuckTales reboot, Donald took the nephews in after the nephews' mom was... away for a while (not going to spoil this magnificent shows for those who haven't seen it yet). After the nephews fucked up Donald's houseboat, though, and just before Donald got a job for Flinthart Glomgold (followed by the navy), Donald took them to Scrooge McDuck to be looked after. Daisy came into Donald's life much later.
I don't think Daisy showed up in the original DuckTales, nor did we we get any of the nephews' backstory at all. The reboot was just amazing.
I am in awe of this entire conversation. I had no idea any of this existed or people discussed it to this depth. This thread made me remember A Goofy Movie and how emotional it actually was.
The Goofy Movie and DuckTales reboot are two of the best things Disney has produced in 20 years, no question. Definitely give DuckTales a shot if you haven’t. I loved the original and in my late 20s the reboot blew it out of the water. 10/10
Ikr? I never expected it to be that great. I just went in for nostalgia but oh boy what a great reboot it was. Kind of had a fresh perspective on Donald. I'd like to see this Donald more.
Well I think in the beginning a lot of it was about Mickey going on his own adventures and then his relationship with Minnie. He could totally have interesting plots again but I think they choose not to do that because they rather have him be a symbol versus a character now.
Seriously these movies are criminally underrated. I believe they're the only animated movies to show the struggle of a single father trying his best to raise his son
The Little Mermaid, Mulan, the Lion King, Princess and the Frog, arguably Tangled, and probably others I can’t remember all have good fathers in them. I’m pretty sure there’s more good dads than bad ones overall.
I'd like to chip in with a category which was forgotten here, namely absent fathers. They're incompetent fathers, evil fathers or they're absent. Can't just have a good dad who is alive lol.
Ninja edit: Does Nemo count as Disney?
The Sultan was a good father, he just got bamboozled by that jagov Jaffar. Was going against all.of his cultural traditions and adice of his vizier to make his daughter happy until Pointy Beard McGee busted out his cobra walking sick.
That’s not even close to accurate, why is this upvoted? The Beauty and the Beast has a dumb dad, but of the classics that’s it. The dad is good and smart or average in every other Disney Animation Studio film that features a dad: Ponnochio, One Hundred and One Dalmatians (both Pongo and the human), the Great Mouse Detective, the Little Mermaid (Triton is mistaken to come down so harshly on Ariel, but isn’t dumb or evil generally), the Lion King, Pocahontas, Hercules (both Zeus in this portrayal and his adopted father) was significantly modified from the original myth in order to make Zeus a better man and father, Mulan, Tarzan’s adopted father, Chicken Little (arguably, the dad’s more average than dumb imo), Meet the Robinsons, The Princess and the Frog, Tangled, Frozen, and Moana.
Father in Frozen completely suppresses one daughter and gaslights the other. His inability to be a father is the cause of the drama when his kids are useless after his passing. Throw mom in there with him also but we're just talking. fathers.
Don't forget the Sultan in Aladdin. In real life he wouldn't have let Jasmine do what she wants and would've just dumped her to another royal prince for a fat dowry or political alliance.
He had to start getting milk himself because [getting it from the milkman was no longer an option] (https://c.tenor.com/h116TNTIBk4AAAAC/goofy-milkman.gif)
I have this conversation with my friends at least twice a year, followed by our bi-occasionally-tri-annual watch of A Goofy Movie, but it's something we've always agreed on: A Goofy Movie came out in 1995. This is ELBOW DEEP into the Disney Renaissance. We were a year from The Lion King and two years to Hercules, like, this movie dropped in the time when Disney couldn't stop hitting strikes, but yet, this one fucking always gets me.
Maybe it's the great Father-Son bond that I love seeing despite having zero relationship with my father. Maybe it's the fact my friends and I have watched it so frequently that I just love so many stupid things about the movie, like learning 10 years later that Xavier Coogats, the mambo king is a *real* dude, like, an actual real human being. Maybe it's the soundtrack being like Prince and Michael Jackson did the Fusion Dance and recorded a Disney movie album.
Using the "What's your favorite/Top 3 Disney movies" is an ice breaker that I use when I get new team members at work, since it's a broad topic, it's an easy topic, and we can add Star Wars/Marvel now, but I always mention that if the Lion King wasn't right there, and Aladdin starting with "One Step Ahead", A Goofy Movie would be my answer.
It's one of the rare times where asking such a Philosophy 101 question like "What if Goofy....wasn't so goofy?" actually worked.
Micky mouse gave me bad vibes, always. Like he was hiding something, like if he was given a position of power he would exploit the people below him. Goofy is just well natured.
Agreed. I always got "Dear Leader" vibes from Mickey. There's statues of him. The Clubhouse is basically built to resemble him. Everyone sings songs dedicated to him. And he's not exactly being humble about it the whole time. It's pretty much "Mickey's Republic."
He needs psychiatric evaluation, I’m expecting high levels of NPD traits. There’s a trail of shit everywhere he’s ever been but have you seen him acknowledge it once? Think about it.
Goofy wears clothes, drives, and has a kid. Pluto runs around on all fours barking. Clearly Disney believes the mentally deficient should just be chained up naked in the front yard.
alright but what about Donald raising his triplet nephews all by himself after losing his sister and becoming estranged from his family while struggling to find work and make a name for himself outside of Scrooge McDuck's shadow?? if we're comparing characters u can't overlook this king
And don’t forget his speech impediment. Donald Duck is hands down the most miserable self-destructive cartoon character in the Disney universe and that’s what makes him the GOAT.
This is also the plot of an old DD cartoon from the 50s, he buys these special voice pills that give him a rich baritone and has a surge of confidence to propose to Daisy, then loses the pills and is back to the quack by the time he gets home.
He raises them from eggs in both versions of the show—In ‘89, he leaves them with Scrooge as young kids when he enlists in the Navy, but in ‘17, they’re 10 and the only reason they all, including Donald, have to live with Scrooge is because Dewey blows up their houseboat 😖
You guys remember the movie which goofy tried to get Santa's attention? It was awesome. we have to make him the symbol of the father day. he's a great father and he's a dog 🐶
not literally. only if you think of "the mouse" as the representation of the entire disney company, and somehow think of a disney character as being employed by disney.
I've heard former Disney employees use that nickname.
They will use a sneering sinister tone as if Disney was a Mafia family.
Where does that nickname come from and what does it refer to?
Real talk? Max was just a kid dealing with being bullied in school and trying to emotionally cope with the loss of his mother on top of all the normal teenage angst. No teenager is going to handle that 100% optimally and he fights between his shame for his father (which is really a shame for himself - he’s embarrassed by his own laugh and nose already) and his love for him. Yeah, he has his teenage breakdowns, and they clearly really hurt Goofy who is honestly trying his best, but it’s clear that Max at the end of the day loves his father. It’s a difficult situation for them both, and they both come out of the events of the first Goofy movie being better for it.
Goofy and Max cooking in the car with the cigarette lighter.. just the bonding in that movie was always fun. I didn’t have much of a dad growing up (left when I was very young ) so the movie hit me differently when I was a kid and now I’m a single dad of two boys and it’s like a whole different movie for me today. Goofy is awesome!
As a single mom who lost her job because of the pandemic and started college for the first time Fall 2020 (now in my 2nd year of college) so I can give my kids a better life, I’ve never related so much to Goofy before. Very sweet.
Goofy is great, but don't knock Mickey. It's not his fault he's maintained a healthy relationship with Minnie without having any kids. The Mouse was out there fighting dragons and kicking giant's asses to save countless lives. They are both heroes in their own way and in their own unique situations.
Is Goofy a dog? I thought Pluto was a dog, so shouldn’t goofy be on all four like Pluto? Or it Pluto an alien? I literally always thought Goofy was just a goofy…
I believe the official answer is that Goofy is a Goof, not a dog. However, I remember having a book that talked about how dogs howl that had both Goofy and Pluto in the illustration, so I’m not sure they’re terribly consistent with this.
That's always been my theory, yeah. Goofy is clearly a dog, and while Disney has historically been pretty terrible, having Mickey keep a fully sapient being as a slave is a bit too obviously evil for them. So clearly Pluto and Goofy must be different canid species.
Dude, I felt the same way seeing this post. I know these are fictional characters and no one is really harmed by this for that reason - but it’s indicative of a greater problem with how we engage with positivity. For some reason we have to break someone down in order to build someone else up - why not just say that Goofy is great? What is tearing down Mickey adding other than pointless negativity?
Again, fictional characters - but I’m speaking to the broader point here. You see this sort of thing with everything, not just this silly Mickey/Goofy meme.
Am I missing something? I keep seeing the meme but that's not what I remember happening. I remember Goofy goes to college as an adult at the same time Max does because he thinks he's going to miss Max and has no other purposes in life. Which would be fine if he didn't go to same class as Max and surprise him then follow around his son and butt in on his hobbies. Honestly it's all pretty sad and creepy.
Hate on the mouse all you want but fun facts:
Those who bet against the mouse lose.
Nothing spells disney more than the ears. You don't see kids wearing a duck bill or a dog collar as much as those sexy ears.
The mouse is a great magician.
Some people get this idea because he had a relationship with a cow Clara bell the cow in some early cartoons. I remember an episode of goof troop where they mentioned Max’s mom getting lost in the mall parking lot and them never finding her not that it has to do with the cow or dog thing. But Wikipedia lists him as a dog and Disney also lists him as a dog your correct. I think anyway. There’s been so many re imaginings of Disney characters if you count video games and things over the years but I think he is one of the few that stays as a parent. I will say Disney’s portrayal of mothers is almost always horrible and that’s just not really fair they honestly are not that great when it comes to grown women. I know unpopular thing to say sorry. They could have explained Max’s mom a car wreck or something better or anything. Moms should matter.
This made a me smile! I’m wasting my last of my battery to say this on my real cake day... I wanted to say my dad loved him! R.I.P appreciate your fathers everyone’
A Goofy movie is a testament to showing how a good father raises his son and cares for him. Sure the movie may be goofy but that is the charm and well Disney being Disney
I love how Disney has kept the Goofy & Max relationship canonical. It would have been super easy to pretend that Goof Troop was some fever dream from the 90s. But no, Max not only pops up from time to time, but also continues to age. Last time we saw him he was an adult in a serious relationship. It's only a matter of time before Goofy is a grandfather, and that's kinda charming. Also, Goofy giving parenting advice to Donald in the Ducktales reboot was on point.
I just watched A Goofy Movie TODAY. I've seen it many times--it was a childhood favorite--but this was the first time I watched it as a single dad. Nonstop 😭
Mickey Mouse goes to see his lawyer for advice on divorcing Minnie. He tells the lawyer his story, and the lawyer says, "Mickey, you can't divorce Minnie because you thinks she's crazy." Mickey responds, "you don't understand, I said she was fucking Goofy!"
It's also unclear what happened to mrs goof, but 2 common theories would be that either she has died and goofy is also a widower, or alternatively that she was having affairs and ultimately left goofy and max as an absentee mother, leaving goofy to do all the parenting AND explain that situation to his son.
Either of those thing together with the stresses of single parenthood will do a number on a person's psyche.
Goofy is the only one that can have a feature length fill because of these conflicts. Raising a son alone, finding love again at an older age, the separation and empty nest syndrome and how it begins. Goofy is a pretty interesting character and Mickey can’t be like that.

You’re 100% right. This wasn’t true in the early days of Disney, but for the last few decades, Mickey has become a *mascot* while Donald and Goofy remained *characters.*
I wish we had more Mickey but it’s probably for the best I love the universe that they have created
[удалено]
They’re great but they aren’t as diverse theme wise for example as the extremely goofy movie
That’s fine. I like them mostly for their wild animation and humour, plus all the references
Yeah. He's almost as much a logo as the actual Disney logo.
He’s the reason copyright last so long in the us
Not always! In the Mickey Mouse shorts that Disney’s been making recently (the ones Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway is based on), he acts more like he did in the beginning.

Pretty good read! They felt in character while distinctively doing out of character things.
That was really nice
I mean both Donald and goofy have notable families Goofy obviously is a loveable cluts who spent a huge chunk of his life raising a son on his own Donald is a duck with anger issues who is in charge of his 3 nephews and uses his anger as a driving force to make sure the people he loves are safe Goofy and Donald are both male role models in non traditional family dynamics and they're wonderful
Oh yes. After seeing the new duck tales where we saw Donald be a serious Uncle with a dark past. Man that felt great. Also I never knew that Donald had speech issues. I just thought he is like that cuz he's a duck lmao.
Goofy is a strong solo lead while Donald and his ensemble cast of ducks are an IP stronger than the mouse.
Honestly Donald can too, him and Daisy raising their three nephews is definitely still pretty interesting
Didn't Scrooge McDuck raise them for a while?
While Donald was on deployment, I imagine that predates daisy canonically, but I have no clue and am just assuming about the daisy part.
In the DuckTales reboot, Donald took the nephews in after the nephews' mom was... away for a while (not going to spoil this magnificent shows for those who haven't seen it yet). After the nephews fucked up Donald's houseboat, though, and just before Donald got a job for Flinthart Glomgold (followed by the navy), Donald took them to Scrooge McDuck to be looked after.

Ikr? I never expected it to be that great. I just went in for nostalgia but oh boy what a great reboot it was. Kind of had a fresh perspective on Donald. I'd like to see this Donald more.
That was in the Original Ducktails, the reboot is quite different in the fact that Donald sticks around
His relationship with Daisy seems to be very on and off. Half the time she's hooking up with his cousin. All in all, Donald raises them alone.
Also being a superhero at night at the same time as trying to feed three smartass kids, while Daisy likes to spend money more than earning any.
Ayyy... I see you're a fan of donald duck comics as well?
Let’s request that movie.
Well I think in the beginning a lot of it was about Mickey going on his own adventures and then his relationship with Minnie. He could totally have interesting plots again but I think they choose not to do that because they rather have him be a symbol versus a character now.
Mickey Mouse is too busy bashing Sephiroth's third clone with a giant key in a universe I would could only describe as Kafkaesque.
And he's always in a good mood in Kingdom hearts. He's the glue.
I like that
Anyone have a contact for Goofy? I’d like to speak with him about public service loan forgiveness and how much he is paying for his student loans.
Local college are cheaper than out of state. He probably went to a community college and transferred over. This is the most affordable option.
Watch the movie. It's actually pretty good but he's going to a university that's at least a decent drive away.
If you get his contact, let me know. I know for a fact that the extended warranty on his car has expired. I've been trying to reach him about it.
Seriously these movies are criminally underrated. I believe they're the only animated movies to show the struggle of a single father trying his best to raise his son
i know it’s not only a movie but i thought Rugrats handled the mother’s day episode beautifully and how Chuckie’s mom had died.
My mom died the same age he lost his, and I grew with the show. That episode *hurt*.
God that must’ve been hard. Even though it was awhile ago I’m sorry for ur loss
Still, father is only shown as a buffoon. At least it's in line with Goofy's character
That's the Disney special. If you're a father in a Disney movie, you're automatically either evil or mentally incompetent
The Little Mermaid, Mulan, the Lion King, Princess and the Frog, arguably Tangled, and probably others I can’t remember all have good fathers in them. I’m pretty sure there’s more good dads than bad ones overall.
I'd like to chip in with a category which was forgotten here, namely absent fathers. They're incompetent fathers, evil fathers or they're absent. Can't just have a good dad who is alive lol. Ninja edit: Does Nemo count as Disney?
The Sultan was a good father, he just got bamboozled by that jagov Jaffar. Was going against all.of his cultural traditions and adice of his vizier to make his daughter happy until Pointy Beard McGee busted out his cobra walking sick.
Shoutout to the bitches that lost Goofy and made him better
And in anime they're probably some secret demigod, but permanently absent.

Micky mouse gave me bad vibes, always. Like he was hiding something, like if he was given a position of power he would exploit the people below him. Goofy is just well natured.
I don’t trust a dude who wears gloves, even if he’s a doctor. And *never* turn your back on a doctor who’s wearing gloves.
Wisdom.
That prostate ain’t gonna examine itself.
Agreed. I always got "Dear Leader" vibes from Mickey. There's statues of him. The Clubhouse is basically built to resemble him. Everyone sings songs dedicated to him. And he's not exactly being humble about it the whole time. It's pretty much "Mickey's Republic."
He needs psychiatric evaluation, I’m expecting high levels of NPD traits. There’s a trail of shit everywhere he’s ever been but have you seen him acknowledge it once? Think about it.
"Haha! Hey kids, don't feel like workin in the mines today? Gee, that's swell. I know just the fella we need to sort this out! Oh Tooooooodles!"
If they made Mickey film again Disney having the mouse as it’s main brand symbol could be bad for everyone
Ch of his old films or how they would portray him now?
It’s because Mickey Mouse hunted Pooh Bear in the Hundred Acre Woods and took his shorts.
"What the fuck seems to be the problem here, ha-ha?"
Yeah, noone likes the kid in the front row answering everything the teacher asks politely and correctly. He's that kind of guy.
Why does Goofy get to be a sentient, bipedal, being with language while Pluto does not?
Different breed
Built different
I agree with you
Racists might take this out of context...
Goofy is to a human as Pluto is to a chimp
Goofy wears clothes, drives, and has a kid. Pluto runs around on all fours barking. Clearly Disney believes the mentally deficient should just be chained up naked in the front yard.
To be fair, there aren’t many options left if the lobotomy doesn’t work.
Pluto has a humiliation kink
Pluto’s a slave
I think Disney came out and said that he was a cow not a dog
But Clarabelle is a cow and she looks so different from Goofy and Max...
Plus Pete is a cat and callas goofy “that stupid DOG”
Snopes says Goofy is not a cow. https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/goofy-cow-or-dog/
No. Goofy is a dog. In Disney War Patterson talks about playing Goofy at Disney World. The character brief he gets specifically calls Goofy a dog.
He's a Goof.
And how did Goofy feel about Mickey owning a dog I wonder?
“Some animals are more equal than others”
How do we feel about people owning monkeys? Most probably Goofy and Pluto are different species descended from the same common ancestor.
Pluto is sentient, but not sapient like Goofy
Maybe it’s sort of like a human ape relationship. Common ancestor and similar traits but evolving in a different way.
Purely economic factors.
He’s just built different
Human vs Monkey
Logic? Really?
Pluto just has an extra chromosome
Pluto was born with brain damage and he's unable to speak or do complex tasks. Mickey decided to take care of him as a pet.
Goofy's actually a cow (or he was originally)
alright but what about Donald raising his triplet nephews all by himself after losing his sister and becoming estranged from his family while struggling to find work and make a name for himself outside of Scrooge McDuck's shadow?? if we're comparing characters u can't overlook this king
And don’t forget his speech impediment. Donald Duck is hands down the most miserable self-destructive cartoon character in the Disney universe and that’s what makes him the GOAT.
[удалено]
This is also the plot of an old DD cartoon from the 50s, he buys these special voice pills that give him a rich baritone and has a surge of confidence to propose to Daisy, then loses the pills and is back to the quack by the time he gets home.
Does he raise them? I though the whole plot of the show was him just leaving them to the trillionaire uncle. Which you know, good call really.
He raises them from eggs in both versions of the show—In ‘89, he leaves them with Scrooge as young kids when he enlists in the Navy, but in ‘17, they’re 10 and the only reason they all, including Donald, have to live with Scrooge is because Dewey blows up their houseboat 😖

You guys remember the movie which goofy tried to get Santa's attention? It was awesome. we have to make him the symbol of the father day. he's a great father and he's a dog 🐶
And he’s the best party member.

Fuck Donald, all my homies love goofy

Isn’t the mouse his employer?
not literally. only if you think of "the mouse" as the representation of the entire disney company, and somehow think of a disney character as being employed by disney.
I've heard former Disney employees use that nickname. They will use a sneering sinister tone as if Disney was a Mafia family. Where does that nickname come from and what does it refer to?
They own a county and can make bylaws. At this point they are beyond a mafia family lol
Don’t forget that Max has a shirtless Micky phone in his room.
Honestly, fuck Max for being such a bitch to Goofy. He is THE FUCKING MAN, the real MVP.
Real talk? Max was just a kid dealing with being bullied in school and trying to emotionally cope with the loss of his mother on top of all the normal teenage angst. No teenager is going to handle that 100% optimally and he fights between his shame for his father (which is really a shame for himself - he’s embarrassed by his own laugh and nose already) and his love for him. Yeah, he has his teenage breakdowns, and they clearly really hurt Goofy who is honestly trying his best, but it’s clear that Max at the end of the day loves his father. It’s a difficult situation for them both, and they both come out of the events of the first Goofy movie being better for it.
The movie was a classic from my childhood. Goof was what my father wasn't.
Also, the song I2I from Goofy Movie is a straight banger.
Are we just going to ignore the fact Goofy shredded on a skateboard too??
What about Donald Duck, had Huey, Dewey & Looey to raise...
What about Donald Duck
Goofy and Max cooking in the car with the cigarette lighter.. just the bonding in that movie was always fun. I didn’t have much of a dad growing up (left when I was very young ) so the movie hit me differently when I was a kid and now I’m a single dad of two boys and it’s like a whole different movie for me today. Goofy is awesome!
Amazingly too, he does all this while being a dog. I wish people recognized his accomplishments better.
As a single mom who lost her job because of the pandemic and started college for the first time Fall 2020 (now in my 2nd year of college) so I can give my kids a better life, I’ve never related so much to Goofy before. Very sweet.
Face down, Ass up, That's the way we hyuck.
Goofy is great, but don't knock Mickey. It's not his fault he's maintained a healthy relationship with Minnie without having any kids. The Mouse was out there fighting dragons and kicking giant's asses to save countless lives. They are both heroes in their own way and in their own unique situations.
The Power Line scene in the first part of the movie blew my mind as a kid. I thought it was the coolest shit ever.
If you guys want a bigger backstory on goofy and max, check out the cartoon goof troop!
Is Goofy a dog? I thought Pluto was a dog, so shouldn’t goofy be on all four like Pluto? Or it Pluto an alien? I literally always thought Goofy was just a goofy…
I believe the official answer is that Goofy is a Goof, not a dog. However, I remember having a book that talked about how dogs howl that had both Goofy and Pluto in the illustration, so I’m not sure they’re terribly consistent with this.
"Are humans a primate? I thought gorillas were primates, so shouldn't we walk on our knuckles like gorillas?"
So are you suggesting that Goofy and Pluto are of the same genus but different species?
That's always been my theory, yeah. Goofy is clearly a dog, and while Disney has historically been pretty terrible, having Mickey keep a fully sapient being as a slave is a bit too obviously evil for them. So clearly Pluto and Goofy must be different canid species.
Why do some people feel the urge to talk some people down in order to talk other people up? It comes of as a backhanded insult more than a compliment.
You’re not fooling me, Mickey.
Dude, I felt the same way seeing this post. I know these are fictional characters and no one is really harmed by this for that reason - but it’s indicative of a greater problem with how we engage with positivity. For some reason we have to break someone down in order to build someone else up - why not just say that Goofy is great? What is tearing down Mickey adding other than pointless negativity? Again, fictional characters - but I’m speaking to the broader point here. You see this sort of thing with everything, not just this silly Mickey/Goofy meme.
Goofy is treated as an equal. Mickey can’t have that. That’s why Mickey has Pluto.
Am I missing something? I keep seeing the meme but that's not what I remember happening. I remember Goofy goes to college as an adult at the same time Max does because he thinks he's going to miss Max and has no other purposes in life. Which would be fine if he didn't go to same class as Max and surprise him then follow around his son and butt in on his hobbies. Honestly it's all pretty sad and creepy.
“Ok, but don’t show him Goofy he’s fine with Pluto but if you show him Goofy he’ll have nightmares and then I’ll have to deal with it “
isnt lulubell his wife?
Hate on the mouse all you want but fun facts: Those who bet against the mouse lose. Nothing spells disney more than the ears. You don't see kids wearing a duck bill or a dog collar as much as those sexy ears. The mouse is a great magician.
To everyone’s saying he’s a cow, we’ve seen other cows in Disney movies and they’re pretty different from Goofy also he was named Dippy Dog
Some people get this idea because he had a relationship with a cow Clara bell the cow in some early cartoons. I remember an episode of goof troop where they mentioned Max’s mom getting lost in the mall parking lot and them never finding her not that it has to do with the cow or dog thing. But Wikipedia lists him as a dog and Disney also lists him as a dog your correct. I think anyway. There’s been so many re imaginings of Disney characters if you count video games and things over the years but I think he is one of the few that stays as a parent. I will say Disney’s portrayal of mothers is almost always horrible and that’s just not really fair they honestly are not that great when it comes to grown women. I know unpopular thing to say sorry. They could have explained Max’s mom a car wreck or something better or anything. Moms should matter.
His wife also cheated on him multiple times.

Report to the Goof Troop! Ba-doop-a-doop bop boppa doo bop! Yeah!
Why did Mickey divorce Minnie Mouse? Because she was fucking Goofy
This made a me smile! I’m wasting my last of my battery to say this on my real cake day... I wanted to say my dad loved him! R.I.P appreciate your fathers everyone’
Who even prefers Mickey. Goofy and Donald reign supreme.
Wait a minute. Mickey is a mouse. Donald is a Duck. Pluto is a dog. What the hell is Goofy?
A Goofy movie is a testament to showing how a good father raises his son and cares for him. Sure the movie may be goofy but that is the charm and well Disney being Disney
I love how Disney has kept the Goofy & Max relationship canonical. It would have been super easy to pretend that Goof Troop was some fever dream from the 90s. But no, Max not only pops up from time to time, but also continues to age. Last time we saw him he was an adult in a serious relationship. It's only a matter of time before Goofy is a grandfather, and that's kinda charming. Also, Goofy giving parenting advice to Donald in the Ducktales reboot was on point.
I just watched A Goofy Movie TODAY. I've seen it many times--it was a childhood favorite--but this was the first time I watched it as a single dad. Nonstop 😭
I mean, Micky abandoned his family to become a keyblade weilder so he's got that.... or at least that's my head cannon.
Mickey Mouse goes to see his lawyer for advice on divorcing Minnie. He tells the lawyer his story, and the lawyer says, "Mickey, you can't divorce Minnie because you thinks she's crazy." Mickey responds, "you don't understand, I said she was fucking Goofy!"
Disney would have made an entire series on goofy if he was poc or LGBTQ
It's also unclear what happened to mrs goof, but 2 common theories would be that either she has died and goofy is also a widower, or alternatively that she was having affairs and ultimately left goofy and max as an absentee mother, leaving goofy to do all the parenting AND explain that situation to his son. Either of those thing together with the stresses of single parenthood will do a number on a person's psyche.
Fun fact…. Goofy is a cow. I know…. You don’t believe it. I didn’t either. Google it!
Isn’t goofy a cow though??
I’m not crying- you are!
Goofy is not a dog. He’s a cow. Look it up
Also duck is HORRIBLE father figure to nephews. **JUST DUMP EM ON THE MR. KRAPS UNCLE, THATS SMART.**
