it's the 25th anniversary of A Goofy Movie

Is it ever explained why there's no Mrs Goofy?

That was a great article, and yes, I really like A Goofy Movie. I grew up watching it on Disney Channel and it holds up really well.

I first saw GOOF TROOP back on its premiere year (a couple of episodes on the Disney Channel before its premiere on Fox and ABC in fall 1992). A sucker for Father-son stories, I got interested in Goofy and Max. When I first learned A GOOFY MOVIE was coming according to TV Guide it was a little vague on the details except explore the character. Imagine my surprise when the trailers came out it would be about Goofy AND Max! I didn't see it in theaters (I was in my teens and trying to put aside childish things, or at least make sure nobody noticed) although I remember the Friday it came out (Later I realized in Japan, TENCHI MUYO TV, MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM WING, and THE SLAYERS all came out on the same week). I read several reviews: Mike Clark's review for USA TODAY concluded with his terrified realization that Goofy had sex (evidently the learned cinephile Clark never watched the 'George Geef' shorts from the 1950s), most of them not very complimentary. What I did watch was on the Disney Channel. THE MAKING OF A GOOFY MOVIE, which filled in the plotline and the voice actors, giving me my first views of Bill Farmer, Jason Marsden, Rob Paulsen, and My first glimpse of the already known Jim Cummings. The channel also showed the Powerline 'I 2 I' sequence, spoiling the movie. I finally got to see the film on video in September 1995. I was also re-acquianting myself with STAR TREK III: THE SEARCH FOR SPOCK, but I was clearly quite taken with AGM.
And why not? I liked the narrative as Goofy and Max find themselves distant, bonding, then hitting a roadblock before reconciling. For a movie about Goofy it was rather deep, showing the dimensions of him trying to be a good father, getting hurt as well as (in one memorable sequence) angry. Max was also dimensional, trying to find his own place but coming to love and appreciate his father. It didn't fall into making fish and fowl of father and son. Both had their virtues and flaws and finally rose above the latter. I loved the voicework, as well as Wallace Shawn's Principal (channeling HEAVEN HELP US), Jenna Van Oyl's Stacey, Kellie Martin's Roxanne, and Pauley Shore's Bobby. The songs are fine ("Stand out", 'I 2 I', "Nobody Else But You"), but Carter Burwell's atypical score, eschewing funny music for a dramatic tone really should be highlighted more. Nothing of the Max Goof years really could match this film's peak (AN EXTREMELY GOOFY MOVIE was too much estrangement, lacking the bonding established in the first film). It's a pity Max was thrown out of the canon after 2004, although DUCKTALES (2017) has suggested a return.
