Maximilian "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. Although not a retcon, Max may be inspired by the red-headed "Junior" or "Buster" ("George Geef, Jr.") from a series of 1950's Disney cartoons, including 1952's "Father's Day Off."

Max also stars in Goof Troop's 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).

He is one of the few cartoon characters, Disney or otherwise, who has not only aged in later incarnations, but has done so in a close approximation to real time. He was depicted as an 11-year-old in Goof Troop, then a teenager in A Goofy Movie, and most recently, in An Extremely Goofy Movie and House of Mouse, a young adult.

In the Goof Troop TV series, Max is voiced by Dana Hill. Jason Marsden voices an older Max in all appearances after and including A Goofy Movie. Shaun Fleming voices young Max in Mickey's Once Upon a Christmas.

[edit] A Goofy Movie and An Extremely Goofy Movie

In the beginning of the theatrical film, A Goofy Movie, he is in his dream where he is called by Roxanne (voiced by Kellie Martin) in the wheat field, but all of a sudden, he changes into his father, Goofy, scaring Roxanne away, until he knows it was a dream. Throughout the film, he goes on a vacation, fishing with his father, Goofy, which is completely against his will, when he promised Roxanne he'd dance on stage with a fictional pop idol.

In the direct-to-video sequel to A Goofy Movie, An Extremely Goofy Movie, Max leaves for college with P.J. and Bobby Zimmeruski. He hopes to start fresh and join the elite X-games champion team, the Gammas. However, Goofy loses his job and must go back to college. Namely, the same school as his "Maxie"!

[edit] House of Mouse

In the House of Mouse series, Max is the parking valet for the club, is most likely the most level headed and calm of all the employees at the club, though it may be because his duties arent nearly as important as some of the others, and that his inclusions are to help out the rest of the cast. However in episodes that revolve around him or Goofy, his embarrassment is much more noticable and intentional.

The idea of Roxanne being Max's girlfriend after the film does not end either. In the series, one episode that focuses on Max being off work, and on a date with Roxanne at the House of Mouse, and that all the main Disney cast (Mickey, Minnie, etc.) were embarrassing him, until Goofy, who Max thought was originally going to be the most embarrassing to deal with, cuts in between Max's date and the House of Mouse management (again, being Mickey, Minnie, Donald, and Daisy) to give Max and Roxanne some privacy for the night.

[edit] Mickey's Once Upon A Christmas and Mickey's Twice Upon A Christmas

In the direct-to-video film, the traditional animated Mickey's Once Upon A Christmas, in the episode Have Yourself A Goofy Christmas he goes bicycling into the mall, with his father Goofy. In this film, he is a young boy. This episode preceded the film, A Goofy Movie in chronological order. In the end, he is dressed up as Santa Claus.

In the next direct-to-video film, Mickey's Twice Upon A Christmas, done in computer animation, the sequel to Mickey's Once Upon a Christmas, in the episode, Christmas Maximus, now all grown up, and this came after An Extremely Goofy Movie, also in chronological order. He and his girlfriend Mona, leave college, and Goofy picks them up at the train station, and brings them to Goofy's house. Goofy shows Mona Max's baby pictures, which embarrasses Max. His new girlfriend Mona, is also voiced by Kellie Martin.
