The main series of 65 episodes aired in first-run syndication from 1992 to 1993 on The Disney Afternoon programming block. A Christmas special was also produced and aired in syndication in late 1992. Goof Troop was adapted into the feature film A Goofy Movie (1995), which received mixed reviews but was a box office success. The series' premise was also incorporated into 1999's Mickey's Once Upon a Christmas and its 2004 sequel.
Goof Troop is the creation of Michael Peraza Jr., and pitched to Disney management as a last-minute idea. Goofy, a single father, moves back to his hometown of Spoonerville with his son, Max. Max and P.J. quickly become best friends and do practically everything together.
