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.

The other day I was on a Disney sequel fix, An Extremely Goofy Movie was next on my list, A Goofy Movie is such a funny Disney movie, so I was kinda looking forward to watching An Extremely Goofy Movie, even if it was a sequel. So I watched it this movie this morning and I have to say that it still has the same good laughs and goofs as the first one. Although I think that Max is still kind of a jerk in this one, lol, but Goofy is still a lot of fun. I loved how they contributed disco once again to this movie and Goofy's dance with his date was so much to watch. I also loved that the voices were kept by the same as in the first Goofy movie, because normally if the voices are different from the original Dinsey movie, I do get distracted, so it was so cool that the original cast returned for this fun sequel.Max is all grown up with the guys, and they are off to college to have fun and have a hopeful future, especially one without Max's dad, Goofy. But when Goofy gets fired from his job, he goes to the unemployment office and they have no jobs for him, unless he gets his degree. He's going to school again, and guess with who? Max! That's right, him and his son are taking the same classes and he's embarrassing Max with his old school dress code and act. But Goof turns out to be more popular than his son, especially when he beats Max at a skateboarding contest.An Extremely Goofy Movie is really a lot of fun to watch. I think my favorite scene was actually when Max tells the frat jerks off and the whole club that he and the boys are in snap them away, it reminded me of West Side Story, probably was a homage, who knows, right? But Goofy really does steal the show, he's just so much fun to watch and is always a classic. I would recommend An Extremely Goofy Movie, especially if you enjoyed the first Goofy movie, this one will not be a disappointment, trust me.7/10

Back when I first saw A Goofy Movie, it instantly became one of my favorites, and it remains so to this day. As Disney is always inclined to do, they decided to make a sequel that has come to be titled An Extremely Goofy Movie. Actually, Goof Troop Episode X would've been a more appropriate title.Let it be said right now that this movie is definitely not as good as A Goofy Movie. It's not cool, though it tries to be with its ESPN references and lots and lots of skateboarding. It's not compelling, though it tries to use a lot of the first movies techniques. And, quite frankly, Goofy has been reduced to a side character in his own feature film.Right off the bat, the premise of this movie is sorely overused. The badly beaten sports contest with the cheating opposing team already told me that they had no real ideas for this movie. As I said earlier, Goofy isn't even one of the main focuses of this movie. It is really all about Max, PJ, and Bobby's sports event. While it's nice to see these new Disney characters get a little more screen time, I doubt anybody would've chosen to ignore Goofy in the process. Like A Goofy Movie, the strength of An Extremely Goofy Movie is in its characterization. Seeing Max go off to college and Goofy's feelings about it all was kind of interesting and rather unexplored territory in my opinion. The librarian, Sylvia is a believable girlfriend to Goofy and a pretty fun character on her own. And the beret-girl (no name?) has a pretty cool personality. But it is completely overshadowed by the more trite story about the X-games, and not in a good way.The animation is, for such a poor movie, is actually quite nice, as are the character designs. However, the music leaves a lot to be desired. I think the worst thing about the music is that it departs from the "cartoony" feel of the first movie; we really lose sight of the fact this is a movie featuring Goofy very fast. Actually, sometimes I could've sworn I heard some things in this movie in the old Nick cartoon, Hey Arnold.Overall, I definitely can't say this movie is as good as its predecessor. It's not unwatchable, but it has none of the magic or feel that A Goofy Movie had. The DVD also leaves a lot to be desired. So, if you REALLY want to see what Max is up to in college or see some of Goofy's antics on campus, then give this movie a watch. But don't set your expectations too high for this "Goof Troop Episode X". Despite all this, I really do hope for one more sequel, likely about Max graduating or something or trying to make it in the workforce. But come on Disney, whatever it is, it can be a LITTLE more creative than this...

Spoilers herein.There are three things about this little cartoon that should get you up-out-of-your-chair mad. And not just huffing mad, but pounding walls mad.The first is elusive. Walt Disney created Goofy and indeed all of his characters with a single notion: that they would be extremely abstract entities. These were NOT people, and not animals either and not something in between: they were a new type of being altogether. Donald Duck had some of the accouterments of people - a house, (some) clothes, nephews... - but he was deliberately pulled so far away from what a person was that we entered an abstract world. A twilight zone of a different reality that tested the imagination of drawer and viewer.I do not know why the current Disney oafs decided to transmute Goofy into a Fred McMurray surrogate - probably because it can rely on established, tired plot templates. But doing so robs a child of the ability to imagine, to create another world. If you are old enough, think back to how hard you had to work to enter Walt's fantasyland, how that subtly but strongly exercised your ability to perform rewarding abstract reasoning. And compare that to this. No wonder our kids are getting intellectually sick.The second big goof is more obvious. I don't know who thought that sports and intellectual activity were the same, or in any way similar. No one who lives the life of the mind would equate the two in any way, and not in the least in matters of `focus' or `determination.' To so equate the two is so mindnumbingly wrong and would only be done by a corporate entity who sells sports instead of educational programming. Again, this sickens society in no small way.The third goof may not offend you, but it does me. Disney takes the occasion to plug a Disney-owned ESPN product to kids. Now that's downright low.If you are a parent and have a shred of concern about those few early years in which your child wakes up to a thinking person, you'll stay far far away from this. Please. I don't want to pay for more prisons.Ted's Evaluation -- 1 of 3: You can find something better to do with this part of your life.
