* Did Max not know Principal Mazur was talking to his father on the telephone? He had to have some idea about it because Mazur ordered his secretary to put him on while Max was dancing with her. Also, while he was talking to Goofy on the phone, he was just one room away from Max and he was ''shouting loudly''. Max should have heard that. Not to mention he was especially loud when he shouted "BEFORE HE ENDS UP IN THE ELECTRIC CHAIR", and later when Max got home and asked Goofy why he was forcing him to go on vacation, Goofy replied because he didn't want Max to end up "in the electric chair". Even if Max didn't realize Mazur was referring to ''him'' ending up in the electric chair when he was on the phone, he should have put two and two together when his father said that same thing, unless he somehow didn't hear his principal yelling.

** PJ does say it was a "really stupid" idea and doesn't believe Goofy would have fallen for it, and Max admits he acted out of panic.



** He likely would have, if he had just been planning the vacation for fun. But unfortunately, at this point, Goofy had heard from two different people that Max was in danger of being a gang member, and causing riots, with one of them saying he might be stealing and the other outright saying he might be executed some day. He was motivated to go on the trip to prevent that. Being patient for Max's solo plans likely seemed too big of a risk at that point from his misinformed point of view.

!!Walt Disney
* Why does Creator/WaltDisney exist in this universe? Wouldn't he basically be {{God}}?
** I assumed yes. Some sort of Jesus like God on earth at least. But I also once dreamed all 2D Disney movies were being destroyed, and those surviving toons went to "the studio", a place all toons came from that exists out of time. Second gen toon, Max nearly had a breakdown with Goofy trying to explain, well they were literally created by someone, they still had free will to do things like the acting Goofy did before Max was born.
** Good question, and that only gets more confusing later when, in Mickey Mouse Works and WesternAnimation/HouseOfMouse, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yijJBiLMNKE Roy Edward Disney showed up as an animated character]].

***Kevin Lima did say that that Peg and Pistol were in the earlier drafts of ''A Goofy Movie'' but they couldn't a place in the story for them to fit in because of the focus on father-son bonding and how the dynamics betwixt Pete and PJ and Goofy and Max are, so that could imply that the movies are in the same continuity. Lima was asked if they split up but kinda shrugged on it and said their absences/explanations thereof are up to the imagination. So, either the show and the movies are separate continuities or Peg got tired of Pete's crap———Whichever. On that subject of divorce, Pete's line about babysitting and being a "free man" could be taken that they got a divorce.

* Why is Goofy wearing a towel turban on his head at the beginning of the movie (when he bursts into Max’s room)? He doesn’t have any hair on his head (or at least not long enough hair to need to wrap it in a towel turban). Is it just meant to emphasize how much he embarrasses Max? Also, males (even cartoon males) don’t usually (that I know of) wrap their hair in towel turbans to dry it, even if it’s quite long. That’s more a female stereotype (an often true one).

*** Plus, it's somewhat hard to imagine Peg and Pistol hanging out in the same kinds of places college students do; so they don't really have much room to appear in the sequel, either. It was probably just a case of streamlining that caused it, not some in-universe reason.

** If the Goof family has been going to Lake Destiny for fishing trips using the same route for generations…why would Goofy need to look at a map? Wouldn’t he know the route quite well after all those trips with his dad and/or grandfather? It’s not like Lake Destiny would be somewhere else! Maybe he hadn’t been there in a long time and needed a reminder.

* It was rather dumb of Max to change the map to go to L.A. How did he think he could get away with it? At that point, Goofy had been the one looking at the map and hadn't yet made Max the navigator, so for all Max could have known, it wouldn't be very long before Goofy would discover that the map was altered. Max was lucky his father never looked at the map again before he made him the navigator. When Goofy makes Max the navigator, he even begins the conversation by sounding like he is already aware of what Max did. But then after that, given that they were driving all throughout the country, and Goofy gave Max permission to pick all the rest of the stops until Lake Destiny, it probably would have been better for Max to make the Powerline concert one of the stops rather than making it the ''final'' destination on the map. Sure they'd apparently have to take a different route, but Goofy wouldn't have felt betrayed. And I don't recall any indication that they had to be at Lake Destiny before the time the concert was to take place.

** A. As what we saw in the movie , Goofy works at a small photo booth/studio inside a mall/store , with only two workers (Pete and him). So it's possible they co-op this small photo business. and can just take a two weeks off from opening the shop. B. the whole "vacation plan" is meant be following the same ol' route that "Goof" family had been doing for generations , so there is no need for a "planing for the trip" , just follow the map. C. The whole point and motive for Goofy to go on this trip is exactly "Dig Max into the trip out of blue , and force though some father/son bending , so Max can step on the right path instead of end up on a electric chair"
