An Extremely Goofy Movie

[Baloo]

Most of you have probably heard of this film, which is a sequel to A Goofy Movie, but the main reason I made this topic is because I'm curious on what people on here think of the film. I've seen a lot of mixed opinions for this film online, and I'm curious what you all think of it.

Anyway, here are most of the things I enjoyed in the film.

+ By the far the strongest part about this film is Goofy himself. You probably know that I'm a big Goofy fan, and this film captures the spirit of what he is like in the first film, being genuinely funny and likable, as well as having a serious side to him that Disney often doesn't show. I'm completely invested in his character in this film and you really want to see him bond with his son.

+ On top of liking Goofy, I also enjoyed Sylvia, the college librarian who becomes a friend and love interest to Goofy. The relationship and romance between the two is very sweet and she is a very charming character.

+ P.J. gets a bigger role in this film from the first one, and I really liked what they did with him. While not as strong as the relationship between Goofy and Sylvia, I did like the relationship between P.J. and the beret girl and it's great to see him have good luck in life for once.

+ While not a fantastic villain, I did enjoy Bradley. The animators seemed like they had a great time drawing him as some of his facial expressions are hilarious and I think he's effective enough to be memorable.

+ Arguably my favorite scene in the film is when Goofy is depressed inside Max's empty room after he leaves for college. It's a very effective emotional moment and I really feel bad for Goofy in this scene.

+ Goofy's dream/nightmare scene about two thirds of the way through the film. It's so bizarre in a good way.

There are a few other things I liked, but these are the most notable things. Now, onto a few negatives I have.

- Despite being a great character in the first film, Max is definitely the worst thing about this film. He feels way too mean towards Goofy in this film and it seems like he genuinely dislikes him instead of just being embarrassed by him.

- The sports scenes, while they can have some funny moments, are nothing fantastic.

- I wish we got a little bit more of Pete in this film. Pete is definitely my favorite character outside of Goofy in these films and in Goof Troop, and while I understand that he wouldn't be a major character, I think a little bit more of him would have been nice.

- Some scenes drag on a little (mostly the previously mentioned sports scenes)

Overall, An Extremely Goofy Movie, while flawed and not a great film, is generally enjoyable. It's nowhere as good as A Goofy Movie, but the positives do outweigh the negatives and I think it's a good experience to see.

So, what do you think of this film, especially considering its mixed reception?

This is far and away one of the better Disney sequels, yet seems to be kind of underrated. It's such a fun movie and a great way to bring AU-type stuff to life. I found that some of the sports scenes dragged on a bit long also, but is otherwise a good film, especially when you're in college...you get more of the references.

I like this movie. It's so fun, and I agree that Goofy is great in it. I should rewatch it one of these days since I'm in college now :P

Of the two Goofy movies, I've only actually seen this one. I love it, though, and it really made me love Max, having never heard of him before. Plus, it made me like Goofy more, who I can't say is my favorite Sensation Six member, but nonetheless, the movie gave him a respectable dynamic and he was practically the best character in the movie alongside his son.

But I will say, EGM made me seriously question my overall perception of Goofy. Dude's gotta be quite near middle age.

(Now if only Max could appear in KH...I'd expect Sora to react like this...)

I did own both A Goofy Movie and An Extremely Goofy Movie. An Extremely Goofy movie it´s fine, aside of the Extreme sports and College part, it gives that 70´s vibe. I think? Or it was the 60´s? I don´t know anymore, it´s a fun movie and one of those movies from my childhood.

I have seen that comic XD oh Goofy never change.

Meh/10.

I have the first movie on VHS took me many years to actually sit down to watch it.When I did I thought it was really funny and wished I watched it sooner.

Because I liked the first one so much I then found part 2 An Extremely Goofy Movie. This one was funny and all but just wasn't as good, I never really gave it another try. 7/10

 

[CherrySponge]

I've never seen it, though I've seen the first one. The first one was good so I'd expect this one to be the same.

This movie is great, for all its slapstick and nice mix of dramatic elements,. I just wish they didn't retread on the past movie, like a lot of Disney sequels do unfortunately. I enjoyed it decently enough though, somehow more than the original.

I didn't know there were people who hated this movie. I thought it was one of those movies that people tend to overlook or ignore.
