Release
A Goofy Movie was originally intended to be released in theaters during the holiday season of 1994. However, some production problems in France delayed the film's release to spring 1995, while The Lion King was reissued to fill in for the film's absence.
The film was first released on VHS home video on September 6, 1995. In the UK, it was released in theatres succeeding the Mickey Mouse short Runaway Brain on October 18, 1996 and on VHS in 1997. In the Australia and New Zealand, it was released in theaters on September 18, 1996 and on VHS in August 1, 1997. It was reissued on June 20, 2000, along with a DVD version. To date, this film is the only animated Disney film produced in widescreen that has a pan and scan only DVD. However, its PAL counterpart does have a non-anamorphic widescreen DVD, and the film is available in a letterbox presentation on Laserdisc.
When the film premiered for the first time ever on Toon Disney HD on June 2, 2008 and on Disney Channel HD on June 10, 2008, it was in the standard-definition format instead of the high-definition format.
It was revealed inside a Mickey Mouse Clubhouse DVD that this film along with its sequel will be re-issued as a two-movie pack. However the DVD has been put into hiatus, and it's currently unknown if the disc will preserve the film in its original aspect ratio. Some speculate that this 2-Movie Collection will come out on DVD and Blu-ray in 2015.
A Goofy Movie is available for rent on Amazon.com Video On Demand in widescreen.

Famous quotes containing the word release:
“The near touch of death may be a release into life; if only it will break the egoistic will, and release that other flow.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
“The steel decks rock with the lightning shock, and shake with the
great recoil,
And the sea grows red with the blood of the dead and reaches for his spoil—
But not till the foe has gone below or turns his prow and runs,
Shall the voice of peace bring sweet release to the men behind the
guns!”
—John Jerome Rooney (1866–1934)
“An inquiry about the attitude towards the release of so-called political prisoners. I should be very sorry to see the United States holding anyone in confinement on account of any opinion that that person might hold. It is a fundamental tenet of our institutions that people have a right to believe what they want to believe and hold such opinions as they want to hold without having to answer to anyone for their private opinion.”
—Calvin Coolidge (1872–1933)
