I'm pretty sure that was the subtext of the movie. No need to get mad at a character's portrayal at the start of a movie when they haven't gone through their character development.
>First movie: haha look at the wacky stuff that happens while Max is trying to secretly get his dad to take him to the Michael Jack-err Powerline concert
>second movie: empty nest syndrome is hell, isn't it?
Even the first one was pretty depressing seeing Goofy trying so hard to bond with Max

We now live in a society where people now think that A Goofy Movie and An Extremely Goofy Movie are depressing films. Where have we gone so fricking wrong in life, that people now think that this funny dog man and his son going on a buddy buddy family trip and doing a college comedy sponsored by the X Games are now considered The Boy in the Striped Pajamas level of sad? Have family values gone so fricking low that the fact that Goofy and Max having a real emotional and healthy father son relationship is now considered just a fantasy for everyone? Have we now gotten to the point where we over analyzed these nostalgic animated films so much, we forgotten that it was a family comedy that were made to be silly films for kids? This is it. This is how society dies. And it's all you frickers fault.
Makes sense though.
If you focus on the target demographic's perspective, Max, it's a perfectly standard comedy.
But as an adult you probably consider Goofy's perspective more. And that dude really gets the raw deal in both movies.
I don't think there's ever been a specific reason but they likely didn't want Goofy and Pete to be stuck with their families nor did they want the characters to be known for that. It's similar to how they never let Mickey do too much anymore.
>Why did Disney abandon the Goof Troop universe? Max and PJ will never be seen again.
Disney is very fickle and only likes there disney afternoon cartoons for the year before the show hits and then a couple months after. Then they begrudgingly drag on and are finally canceled.
No idea why. But the disney afternoon are like step children or children with a mistress.
Goof Troop and the movies always made me feel weird and not only because of nostalgia. I think back to the motel scene when Max and PJ get the pizza and it feels really mellow in a way I can’t put my finger on. I don’t want to be a zoomer and say it feels ‘liminal’ but I’m struggling to find a better word for it than that.
Definitely. I would say that a lot of the nostalgia isn’t from the movie itself, I think it’s the little things like dark motels and road trips that bring me back to childhood, and when you combine that with watching the movie at a young age then it starts to make me feel that way.
I’m not making sense but I’m sure you get the gist of what I mean.
I know what you mean, but I'm not convinced it isn't just early nostalgia

It is hard to put into words because it's like how swaddling us comforting yet confining. Childhood is a lack of responsibility and the freedom that comes with that as well as the complete loss of freedom as you're controlled by parents forced into school. Combined with any limited experience of a moment, a "you just had to have been there" and there is isolation compounded with isolation. And isolation is both limiting and comforting. So now we're back to a form of swaddling as we really can't find the words for our feelings when it comes to this movie and that oddly empty motel scene. It's a big space, but no one but four characters are seen at that location. Perhaps because it is at night, a chance encounter with your neighbors while on a long road trip is bizarre, maybe it's because the pizza, all these factors make watching it a significant experience for many.
This scene always made me feel lonely as a child.
He was obsessed with his relationship with Max to his own detriment. That is very unhealthy.
Just like I'm obsessed with Roxanne to my own detriment
No shit, but considering his wife is dead, it's not surprising.
At least he gets the librarian in the end, and we don't know if she's dead.
after the credits she died immediately
I'm pretty sure that was the subtext of the movie. No need to get mad at a character's portrayal at the start of a movie when they haven't gone through their character development.
That is the whole point, yeah. Goofy is a good guy but its fairly blatant that the moral of both films is for him to let Max be his own person.
I mean the movie literally ends with Goofy leaving Max for some sexy liberian pussy.
That movie's entire soundtrack is marvelous
It's a Jukebox musical, it had no original songs, at least with Shrek they got more obscure shit.

>you get what you HYUCKIN deserve
Dubs...
Followed by a 69.
Nice.
>are now considered The Boy in the Striped Pajamas level of sad?
You're the only one who's saying this.
When was the last time you watched them?
They're heavier than just the surface matter
Makes sense though.

>that dude really gets the raw deal in both movies
Did you even watch the second movie? He ends up fricking that kinky libriarian. Seems pretty sweet.
>raw deal
He's raw dogging that librarian
These movies were always sad
They just get sadder when you grow older
I always took it as literal and Goofy really did take an expired acid tab from way back when out of sheer stress and misery leading to the bad trip
First movie has way better character animation.
yeah the 2nd one was direct to video that's why
>When his length is a single digit
First movie was a theatrical release and the second was direct-to-video. Dolt.
Goofy thread?
Why did Disney abandon the Goof Troop universe? Max and PJ will never be seen again.
I don't think there's ever been a specific reason but they likely didn't want Goofy and Pete to be stuck with their families nor did they want the characters to be known for that. It's similar to how they never let Mickey do too much anymore.
I'm kinda surprised it even went as far as it did
>Why did Disney abandon the Goof Troop universe? Max and PJ will never be seen again.

No idea why. But the disney afternoon are like step children or children with a mistress.
>outshined in his own show by pete
>movies are remembered for being depressing instead of upbeat family comedies about growing up
Goofybros…

Exactly how I feel. Thanks for putting it into words.
Who would win in a fight?
yes
>BOIL!
El Cid was a real person.
Orlando Furioso may not have been.
Shame they didn't bring Roxanne back for the sequel.
>Shame they didn't bring Roxanne back for the sequel.
I think she was suppose to be in one of the christmas specials but they cut her because, and I shit you not, the didn't feel like animating her hair.
All they had to do was say she got a haircut
Fricking dumb
Maybe they had a mandate on not changing her core design or something dumb.
I want you to frick my wife, Goof.
It's a hard sell to come off as a chad cuck, but I think Pete pulled it off.
Why did he do it? Is it a fetish for him?
he was being a genuine friend by letting Goof frick his wife
It’s Pete, he clearly has ulterior motives.
