I had watched “A Goofy Movie” on Disney+ over the weekend and decided to do some studies based on the opening sequence. Max’s dream-turned-nightmare at the beginning of “A Goofy Movie” is an homage to transformation scenes in werewolf movies. The scene starts off with Max finding his crush, Roxanne, sitting on a tall column amongst fields of wheat wearing a flowing, white dress. She leaps from the column into Max’s arms. As Roxanne is leaning towards Max to kiss him, she backs away in shock at the sight his huge teeth. The atmosphere changes from peaceful skies and wheat fields to forests of thorns and ominous overcast skies. She starts to back away in fear as Max continues transforming into his father, Goofy. Roxanne screams in terror as Max, unable to speak, lets out a Goofy laugh like his father’s in which a flash of lightning and a thunder clap adds to the intensity of the nightmare. Then, Max wakes up in a cold sweat from his nightmare.
There's an episode where Roxanne comes back and she and max have a "date" curious how bradley would feel about all that
Honestly Bradley in "Max's embarrassing date" is such a good fanfic plot, someone please write it.
Listen, I'm a firm believer that Bradley has liked Max since day 1 —like c'mon, he was very much flirting with him when he was giving him the "gamma welcome"— and being in close proximity with him for 20 nights(episodes) would only fuel his love for him. The moment Bradley sees Roxanne and her interactions with Max his heart would shatter, like it's so obvious? As if Max would ever like someone like Bradley; that realization hits him like a truck and his mood does a 180° turn, and the others notice it, being this quiet is very unusual for him, he didn't even try to antagonize Donald like he always does.
Something is very wrong.
I like to think that Goofy's paternal instincts just kick in the second he sees Bradley and would try to help him, even if it is by just sitting with him in the prop room in complete silence.
