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 shallow consider liberty a release from all law, from every constraint. The wise man sees in it, on the contrary, the potent Law of Laws.”
—Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
“If I were to be taken hostage, I would not plead for release nor would I want my government to be blackmailed. I think certain government officials, industrialists and celebrated persons should make it clear they are prepared to be sacrificed if taken hostage. If that were done, what gain would there be for terrorists in taking hostages?”
—Margaret Mead (1901–1978)
