It is weird how someone you never met, could have such a profound impact in your life.JDF was & still is my childhood (adult) hero..it's so hard to grasp that I will never get a chance to meet him. From his videos & live streams I can tell he was truly a genuine person. R.I.P JDF
Rest in peace to the original voice of Max Goof 🕊️
Many Disney fans grew up hearing Dana Hill long before they knew her name. As the original voice of Max Goof in Goof Troop, she gave Goofy’s son a sharp, raspy, funny, and genuinely kid-like personality, the awkwardness, attitude, heart, and humor that made Max feel like more than just “Goofy’s kid.”
Hill’s voice had a rare quality: youthful, rough-edged, emotional, and completely believable. For many fans, her Max was the version that introduced the character before A Goofy Movie turned him into a teen icon.
Dana Hill passed away 30 years ago this month, on July 15, 1996, at just 32 years old. Her time was far too short, but her work still lives on every time fans return to Spoonerville and hear Max trying to find his place alongside his dad.
Rest in peace, Dana Hill 🙏
