Stars of ‘A Goofy Movie’ Reunite in ‘On the Road Again: A Goofy Movie 30th Anniversary’

Thirty years after its theatrical release, the beloved voice talents of Disney Legend Bill Farmer (Goofy) and Jason Marsden (Max Goofy) from the 1995 Disney classic, A Goofy Movie, come together in an all-new video to celebrate and reminisce about their experiences making the movie. A Goofy Movie was released 30 years ago today, on April 7, 1995. In On the Road Again: A Goofy Movie 30th Anniversary, Farmer and Marsden hit the road in a reimagined AMC Pacer based on the car featured in the film and interview each other about their memories from the films creation. 

A Goofy Movie featured Goofy and his teenage son, Max. The story follows Maw, who's eager to impress his crush, Roxanne, and fit in with his peers, while Goofy plans a father-son road trip to bond before Max heads off to college. Their conflicting goals lead to a series of comedic misadventures, including a detour to a possum-themed amusement park and an unexpected stop at a big concert featuring the pop star Powerline. The movie blends slapstick humor with heartfelt moments, exploring themes of family, independence, and understanding. It's a standalone sequel to the Goof Troop TV series and has since gained a cult following for its catchy soundtrack, including songs like "Stand Out" and I2I."

In Memoriam: Val Kilmer (1959-2025)

Val Kilmer, born in Los Angeles, California on December 31, 1959, a Juilliard-trained actor and star of films such as “Top Gun,” “The Doors,” “Tombstone” snd “Batman Forever,” died on April 1, 2025. He was 65. The cause of death was pneumonia according to his daughter Mercedes Kilmer.

He made his film debut starring in the spy spoof "Top Secret!" (1984) before appearing in the comedy "Real Genius" (1985). He rocketed to stardom as Tom Cruise's co-star in the smash 1986 hit "Top Gun" (1986), playing naval aviator Tom "Iceman" Kazansky, and decades later appeared alongside Cruise again in the 2022 sequel "Top Gun: Maverick."

Kilmer starred in director Ron Howard's fantasy "Willow" (1988) and married his British co-star Joanne Whalley, with whom he had two children before divorcing.
One of his most challenging roles came in director Oliver Stone's "The Doors" (1991) in which he played Jim Morrison, the charismatic and ultimately doomed lead singer of the influential rock band The Doors. Kilmer's own singing voice is used in the film.

"The Doors" ushered in the highest-profile years of his career. In the 1993 Western "Tombstone," he played Old West gunfighter Doc Holliday. He had two commercial successes in 1995, co-starring with Al Pacino and Robert De Niro in the crime drama "Heat" and succeeding Michael Keaton as the Caped Crusader in "Batman Forever," the third installment in the Batman series.

His Disney credits include the aforementioned Hollywood Pictures “Tombstone” (1993) where he played Doc Holliday, Paul Pryzwarra in the Touchstone Pictures “Déjà Vu” (2006), FBI Agent Jake Harris in the Miramax Films “Mindhunters” (2004) and he voiced Bravo in the Walt Disney Studios/Disneytoon Studios “Planes” (2013).
