He's learnt nothing from the original 1995-movie! When his now adult son Max sets off for a new life of independence with his pals PJ and Bobby at college, Goofy can't resist going with him! Goofy is suffering with the Empty-Nest Syndrome and this affects work, so, hey presto, he'd fired.
The point is that Max is TRYING to get away from his selfish dad but Goofy can only focus on his own relief of not suffering a year without his 'little Maxie'. At first, Max is (too) tolerant of having Goofy with him, understanding how sad he must've felt. But there are more embarrassing situations Goofy creates to humiliate his son; Gets him out of bed very early in the morning, embarrasses him in a clothes store, getting him to clean up the room with spades and just as Max offers a pretty girl a seat next to him, Goofy rushes to take it before her and Max's new-found enemy Brad offers her a seat instead! In time, Goofy gets romantically involved with the college librarian which doesn't fail to keep him out of his son's hair and does all three of them a lot of good but things soon take a turn for the worst. Max feels increasingly harassed by his obsessive father and is furious with him for beating him in the College X-Games (this wouldn't have happened if Goofy never went to the college).
"OH DON'T YOU GET IT?!! I AM TRYING TO GET AWAY FROM YOU! I'M NOT A LITTLE KID ANYMORE!! NOW JUST LEAVE ME ALONE AND GET YOUR OWN LIFE!" Goofy, if you were my dad I'd disown you! Any road, this movie shows what medicine Goofy needs for his Empty-Nest Syndrome; a woman in his life! After so long, Goofy finds getting his mind off Max less painful as he and Sylvia head off into the sunset fora new life of their own.
