An Extremely Goofy Movie

It is rare I feel that way, but !An Extremely Goofy Movie" is in my opinion a sequel which improves upon its predecessor in almost every way.

Max is approximately five years older now and is heading off to college with Bobby and PJ and away from his dad Goofy. This makes Goofy really sad and takes you through lots of sentimental scenes which really make you care about him.

Later Goofy is fired from his job and must acquire a college degree to increase his chances to get a new job. From that moment on we get a tremendously entertaining ride through Goofy's time with Max at college.

If you noticed, I wrote much about Goofy. That's one of the minor problems I had with this movie. Max is not a very interesting character in here, he is more like just a college student, but the drama between him and Goofy is just as effective in this movie as in the first one.

An Extremely Goofy Movie actually has more quiet moments than its predecessor, and I am thankful of that, because the first movie some times had too many hyperactive ones if you ask me.

The college X-Games competition, as engaging as it is, made me feel a little mnipulated, because I just felt like it was shouting "you want to go to the x-games" to my face. It could have been more timeless just by changing the name, but if you can look past that you get a good amount of tension and exitement which keeps you wanting to see the outcome. You really want Max and his team to win.

The absence of Roxanne doesn't bother me, because while their flirt in the first movie was cute, I see it as a bolt move from Disney not to make it a "happily ever after"-relationship, but accepting that many youngsters don't have those kinds of relationships.

The problems I have listed are the only ones to keep it from a ten, because I feel that An Extremely Goofy Movie delivers lots of entertainment for both kids and adults.

This movie is one that both kids and adults will enjoy. Kids will laugh at the humor of the jokes and adults will remember the disco era with Goofy's disco moves. Although the movie still has the jokes, it doesn't add up to the laughs you get from the other Goofy movie. But it's still worth having in your Disney collection.

An Extremely Goofy Movie (2000) is a straight to DVD sequel to A Goofy Movie (1995), and when it comes to straight to DVD Disney sequels, they are usually not good. But I thought An Extremely Goofy Movie (2000) is not that bad of a sequel.

Goofy and his son Max are still likable characters and have a good father and son relationship. Having Max go to college was not bad of an idea, along with having a X-Games tournament he wants to win and to beat one of the popular teams in the games.

The animation for this straight to DVD movie is good, like the backgrounds and the character movements in the animation are not that bad, along with some nice shots of the background. The movie has some little funny moments, but sometimes it does not work all the time and can feel awkward when it happens.

The movie does have some emotional moments involving Goofy being upset at Max leaving for college and it does have some serious moments. There are also some scenes that are weird or random that I was questioning but it is not much of an issue, along with some 70's music being in this movie at times when certain scenes happen.

An Extremely Goofy Movie (2000) is of course not better than the first movie, but it is not bad to watch if you did like the first movie. Like I have said already, this movie is not one of those bad straight to DVD Disney sequels it is fine to watch.

I watched this with my 4 year old and don't get me wrong it was watchable, had somewhat of a story but goofy obsession with Max is crazy, slightly creepy even.

First off, ignore the comment made by wileyjp, just a couple down from me. Obviously, though he claims to be a "true Goofy fan," he is quite the opposite. True fans of Goofy will love Goofy in any form, and in any age. He praises the animated shorts that Goofy starred in since the 30's, and hates the idea that Goofy had a girlfriend and a son. Then he never saw the animated shorts where Goofy was married and had a son in the 50's shorts.

Knowing that, the idea of Goofy being a father isn't far fetched. At least he had "a son" instead of nephews, which always puzzled me whenever cartoons were afraid to link any character to a jr version. Instead, we have Huey, Dewey and Louie with Uncle Donald, when it would have made more sense, (and may have been funnier), if he was their dad. I love that Goofy is a father, because he does have a strong sense of family about him, and you can see that Max is his whole world.

The Goofy movies are a great modern story with the timeless Goofy. Though this movie isn't a great as the first, it has the same charm, and the same family connection that the first one conveyed. Anyone can enjoy this movie just as much as the first, and i recommend it to the True Goofy Fans out there.
