Goof Troop bears similarity to several early-1950s Goofy cartoon shorts which depicted the Goof as a father to a mischievous red-haired son. Goofy, now as a widower, moves back to his hometown of Spoonerville with his 11-year-old son Max. As it happens, Goofy and Max end up moving in next door to Goofy's high school friend: Pete, a used car salesman and owner of Honest Pete's Used Cars; Pete's wife Peg, a real estate agent; and their two children, 11 year old son P.J. (Pete Jr.) and 5 year old daughter Pistol. Max and P.J. become the best of friends and do practically everything together. A large portion of humor comes from the relatively normal Max's personality sharply contrasting with his father's.
- Disney stated that a new production of goof troop is goint to start in may 2007.
Like its predecessors, DuckTales, Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers and TaleSpin, it premiered as a hour-long TV movie, which was later broken up into a two-part pilot serial. It was later added as a part of The Disney Afternoon block of syndicated animated series during the 1992-1993 broadcast season. Following its cancellation, reruns aired on ABC Saturday Morning, The Disney Channel and later on sister cable channel Toon Disney. Reruns were shown on Toon Disney until January 2005, when Dave the Barbarian was added to the network. The program made a return during September 2006, and the Christmas Special is still aired on Christmas. The program returned to Toon Disney on November 3, 2006. It Currently airs Monday-Friday at 1:00pm.
Goof Troop was adapted into the feature film A Goofy Movie (1995) and its direct-to-video sequel, An Extremely Goofy Movie (2000), The latter of which takes place a few years after the series. The two movies featured Bill Farmer, Rob Paulsen and Jim Cummings reprising their character roles from Goof Troop in these two movies, with Jason Marsden providing the voice of a now-teenager Max, as actress Dana Hill, who provided the voice of Max, died on July 15, 1996, after suffering a massive stroke related to her diabetes.
Goof Troop was released on DVD alongside Quack Pack on February 14, 2006. Also, the episode "Calling All Goofs", is included as a bonus feature on the Region 1 DVD release of A Goofy Movie.
A coda of sorts came with 2005 'Mickey's Twice Upon a Christmas' DVD release. This DVD featured a CGI short in which a grown up Max brings home a girlfriend for Christmas and is embarrassed by his Dad's goofs.
