Read more about Max Goof at: Wikipedia Official Site: Disney Maximillian "Max" Goof is a fictional character who is the teenage son of the popular Disney character Goofy. He first appeared in the 1992 television series Goof Troop. He also stars in the spin-off movie A Goofy Movie (1995) and its direct-to-video sequel An Extremely Goofy Movie (2000); the direct-to-video Mickey's Once Upon a Christmas (1999) and its sequel Mickey's Twice Upon a Christmas (2004); and the 2001 TV series House of Mouse (as a parking valet). Max is a playable character on the Super Nintendo video game Goof Troop (1994), the PlayStation 2 video game Disney Golf (2002), and the PC video game Disney's Extremely Goofy Skateboarding (2001). Max is one of the few Disney characters, aside from his best friend PJ and Huey, Dewey, and Louie child or otherwise, who has actually aged in subsequent appearances. He was depicted as an 11-year-old in Goof Troop, then a 14-year-old in high school in A Goofy Movie, then in An Extremely Goofy Movie he turns 18 years old. In House of Mouse, he is old enough to be employed as a valet. Max, much to his own dismay, takes after his father at times, whether it be mannerisms (including Goofy's trademark laugh) or occasionally being clumsy. He feels that he is much cooler than Goofy however, and isn't as earnest and humble as his old man, as he can be somewhat of a show-off at times when he excels at anything. While Goofy is still clumsy, he works hard to be a good father towards Max, at one time reprimanding him to take personal responsibility by telling him of one of their ancestors, Eliot Goof, an FBI agent with a never-give-up attitude (a clear pun on Eliot Ness). In the Goof Troop show, there were times he would get suckered in by Pete and his get-rich-quick scheme, only to come around towards the end. It seemed, personality wise, that PJ was more like Goofy at times, while Max seemed more like Pete. In the Goof Troop television series, Max is voiced by the late Dana Hill. Shaun Fleming voices young Max in Mickey's Once Upon a Christmas. Jason Marsden voices an older Max in all other appearances after and including A Goofy Movie. The "Goof Troop" series shows some of his relatives - a cousin Debbie; in a Halloween special his ancestor was Gooferamus G. Goof; a "family reunion" his relatives were Werner Von Goof (a scientist); a Major Goof (retired officer); a Michangelo Goof (an artist) and an aunt "Goofilla". In the old Country his distant relative was mad scientist "Dr. FrankenGoof". Other relatives were Cave Goof; Sherriff Mopalong Goof and Sir Goofy Knock Knees . In one episode of Goof Troop, Goofy said that Max was scared of the witch in Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937 film) when he was younger. |
