Loving the first Goofy movie as a child it was a sure bet that I'd enjoy An Extremely Goofy Movie(albeit to a lesser extent). There's some really good moments in this movie, many of them centered around Goofy as we see him deal with Empty Nest Syndrome in some very haunting and sad scenes where it feels like he's now missing a piece of himself. Another great point is the romantic subplot between Goofy and the college librarian Sylvia(played in a terrific performance by Madam Secretary and Fraiser's Bebe Neuwirth), and their scenes(even the obligatory third act on the outs moment) have chemistry and charm to spare. What's not as great is Max, as his character feels like it's going through the exact same arc as he did in the first movie and his relationship with Roxanne is never addressed. Despite the hiccups, this is a sequel that does add enough to justify its existence and feels like it was a more passionate DTV effort by Disney than we could've expected.
