Disney+ is set to transport fans back to the 90s with the premiere of a new documentary, “Not Just a Goof,” on April 7, coinciding with the 30th anniversary of “A Goofy Movie.”

The streaming service has unveiled the official trailer and key art for the documentary, which promises an in-depth look at the creation of the beloved animated film. More than just a trip down memory lane, “Not Just a Goof” aims to uncover the untold story behind a movie that went from being underappreciated to iconic.

The documentary delves into the journey of a young, ambitious creative team as they tackled their first Disney feature. Initially met with a lukewarm reception upon its original release in 1995, “A Goofy Movie” eventually found its audience and earned a devoted fan base, carving out a lasting legacy over the years.

Featuring intimate interviews, rare behind-the-scenes footage, and a candid exploration of the challenges faced by Disney Animation at the time, “Not Just a Goof” highlights how a simple father-son road trip story became a cultural touchstone for a generation.
