As a kid, you definitely side with max and as you get older, you see that goofy was just trying to be a good dad.

Goofy isn't flawless in the movie, either. He, like many adults, struggles to understand how to connect with his teenage son and instead falls back on the things he knows (camping, fishing, etc) rather than venture into unknown territory and try to do what Max wants to do. It doesn't make him a bad parent necessarily, just not a very perceptive one.

Pete on the other hand demonstrates what bad parenting is by straight up not caring what his son wants and dragging the family along as an accessory to his vacation.

But Goofy of course gets there in the end.

Couldn't have said it better myself. Goofy def shows a more "stuck in his ways" approach at the start but grows by the end. Pete just sucks in general at reading his kid and only thinks for himself
