The Walt Disney Family Museum in San Francisco is holding a very special screening, complete with special guests and Q&A, of the new documentary, Not Just A Goof, which chronicles the making of the classic film, A Goofy Movie.
What’s Happening:
- Goofy is one of the world’s most beloved cartoon characters, and to many, the film that best captures his appeal is Disney’s A Goofy Movie (1995). Filmmakers Christopher Ninness and Eric Kimelton documented the making of this unexpected classic in their new documentary Not Just a Goof (2024), which follows the various challenges and successes of the production and what it took to “stand out above the crowd” as young filmmakers at Disney during its renaissance.
- In 2022, Ninness and Kimelton set out to make a simple documentary about their favorite Disney film. Then they discovered the complex power of art, and how a character as silly as Goofy can mean so much to so many people. So begins the untold story behind that unlikely cult-classic, A Goofy Movie. This captivating account reveals how a team of untested young filmmakers took on the challenge of building their first feature around an iconic Disney character, without realizing the obstacles, clashes, and victories awaiting them. Through interviews with the key figures involved in A Goofy Movie’s creation, as well as rare, previously unreleased archival footage and stunning animation, Ninness and Kimelton’s film gets inside the studio’s inner workings and provides an unfiltered perspective on behind-the-scenes magic. It’s a must-watch for Disney enthusiasts young and old.
- Join Kimelton and Ninness with special guests Director Kevin Lima and voice of Goofy and Disney Legend Bill Farmer for a special screening of this documentary and a Q&A where guests will get to truly see “I2I” with the creators of this memorable film.
- The screening takes place on June 29th at 12:00 PM. Tickets are $25 for Members, $40 for adults, $35 for students and seniors, $30 for youth. Children 5 and under are free.
