While the majority of the film focuses on the father-son duo and honors Goofy's Disney past, the story also revolves around Max wanting to impress his love at an upcoming Powerline concert.

Why Roxanne remains a remembered Disney character

Roxanne holds her book in “Goofy – The Movie”

Although her appearance in Goofy – The Movie was not as central as the father-son dynamic of the film, She acted as a motivating factor for Max's character development. Since she wasn't expecting him on stage at the Powerline concert, Goofy's son might not have opened up to his father as much later in the film. His father might not have helped him impress his love interest either, although he needed help turning all of his loud lies into the truth.


But apart from being a love interest of the main character, Goofy – The MovieThe deeper themes show that Max's infatuation is related to his fear of becoming like his father. This is illustrated in a dream where he is with Roxanne but turns into a giant version of his father, a visual representation of his fear of the future. With her, however, he can be someone else and is not doomed to become just like his father. It's a grown-up theme that only works because of her placement in the film.
