An Extremely Goofy Movie

Plot synopsis:
Max Goof, now nearly 19 years old, departs for college with his best friends P.J. Pete and Bobby Zimmeruski. He strives to work together with his friends to become the top team at the college X Games, excited to finally be free of his overbearing and embarrassing father. Upon arriving, Max is met by the rude and pompous "Gamma Mu Mu" fraternity, who are the reigning X-Games champions, including their leader, Bradley Uppercrust III. Bradley invites only Max to join his fraternity, but Max refuses to leave his friends behind. A rivalry starts between Max's team and Bradley's Gammas. Max and Bradley, as de facto leaders of their groups, arrange a bet that whoever loses in the finals will be towel-boy to the other.
Meanwhile, Goofy doesn't take Max's leaving very well and suffers from empty nest syndrome. His depression causes him become careless at his toy assembly line job, and eventually cause a massive explosion inside the factory. Out of a job, Goofy is forced to finish his 4th and last year of college to obtain a college degree before he is able to find new employment. Much to Max's horror, Goofy joins the same college as Max to complete his degree, all the while sporting clothing and behaviors from the 70s, when Goofy last attended college. Goofy frequently bothers the boys at the dorms, waking them up unnecessarily early, embarrassing them in public, and interrupting their down time with chores. In order to give him and his team some breathing room, Max talks his father into joining the Gammas, whom Goofy had accidentally impressed by interrupting Max's practice. Additionally, at Max's urging to get a library card, Goofy meets and befriends the college librarian, Sylvia Marpole, who shares his nostalgic love for the 70's. Romance soon blossoms between Goofy and Sylvia, and they decide to go for a date that coming Saturday, which becomes a spectacular success with them creating a throwback theme at the club and dominating the dance floor.
Although Max is initially supportive of Goofy's "distractions", tensions start to rise between them when Goofy beats Max in the first round during the X-Games qualifiers, effectively stealing Max's fanbase and limelight, though his success is due to cheating by Bradley, who placed a rocket booster on Goofy's skateboard. Bradley also distracts Max as he skates by blinding him with a mirror. Max's team barely makes it into the semi-finals. After the qualifiers, Max, frustrated at being unable to distance himself from Goofy, rudely and selfishly disowns Goofy as his father and telling him to "leave [him] alone and get [his] own life!" A depressed Goofy loses his focus, forgets his big date with Sylvia, and fails his first round of midterm exams.
Goofy returns home and begins to consider dropping out, but after inadvertently getting some advice from Peter Pete, he regains his focus and returns to college. Meanwhile, Max, upset that people now only recognize him through his dad, considers transferring, thinking he had let his teammates down, but after some encouragement from PJ and Bobby, he regains his determination. Goofy returns to campus and reconciles with Sylvia, who then helps him study for his next wave of exams, and aces all of them. Additionally, Goofy quits the Gammas, not wanting to continue competing against Max. The Gammas take this as an insult and literally throw him out. When Goofy re-enters the Gamma house, unknowning by the gang, to return his pledge pin, he overhears the group plotting to cheat in the final X-Games events, like they always have. Later, Goofy tries to warn Max along with Bobby and PJ about the Gammas' intentions, but Max, still holding a selfish grudge against him, refuses to believe him.
At the X-Games semi-finals, Bradley and the Gammas repeatedly cheat in various ways unnoticed, eliminating all the teams while trying to eliminate Max's, albeit unsuccessfully. Just before the final race is about to begin, Bradley activates a rocket mechanism in P.J.'s skates that blasts him away, leaving Max's team with only two players. Without enough teammates, Max and Bobby will face disqualification unless they can find a replacement player. Realizing that Goofy was right about the Gammas' cheating, Max calls for Goofy on the Jumbotron and asks him to join his team; Goofy crashes in in the nick of time.
In the final race, Slouch, one of the Gammas, is removed from the race when Goofy crashes into him, and Bobby is removed when one of the Gammas loosens the screw on the front wheel of his bike. Goofy is then removed when he accidentally crashes into Bradley. Bradley is angered when Tank, his right-hand man, ignores his orders to take out Max and instead tries to win the race in Bradley's place, and activates a rocket booster placed onto Max's skateboard. Goofy's attempt to stop Bradley fails, and Max, along with Tank, crashes into the inflatable X-games logo. It falls on them and goes ablaze. Ignoring the accident, Bradley skates forward to finish the race, but Max and Goofy help Tank escape the wreckage. Despite the setback, Max manages to catch up to Bradley and wins the race by a nose and receives the grand-prize trophy. Conceding defeat, Bradley shakes hands with Max showing good sportsmanship and will become his towel-boy as agreed, but Max calls off the bet because Bradley has to deal with Tank. Tank then turns on Bradley for betraying him and slingshots Bradley into the X-Games blimp flying overhead, effectively taking over the fraternity.
Once the term is over, Goofy graduates and Max gives the trophy to him as an apology gift for his disownment from before, assuring the former that he will always be his son. Goofy forgives Max, bids farewell to the group, and drives away with Sylvia into the sunset for their next date.

Review:
I was a big fan of the original 'A Goofy Movie' and was eagerly awaiting the sequel when I saw an advertisement for it prior to Thanksgiving in 1999.An Extremely Goofy Movie takes place Four or five years after the original and involves Goofy's son Max going off to collage and freedom.
In today's economy one cannot get a good job without a degree and the Goof decides to go back to collage, the same college as Max.Max on the other hand has visions of freedom and the 'X games' dancing in his head and presumably girls and keggers as well; though he former is glossed over and the latter ignored for the sake of the small set.
The gammas are all about winning at any cost and not above cheating to accomplish that.A sub plot involves Goofy dating the school's librarian and the only other person in the world who shares Goofy's affinity for the '70s.At its heart 'An Extremely Goofy Movie' is about how despite the fact that children grow up there is still a bond between parent and child that cannot be broken.
There's no point questioning the chosen plot lines, like Goofy meeting a woman or the whole cliché college...thing, because the movie is already seven years old.
But it helps to rant, and ask again, after an entire movie dedicated to getting the girl, WHERE is Roxanne!?Also, I agree that humiliating Goofy further kinda irks me.
I love that Goofy is a father, because he does have a strong sense of family about him, and you can see that Max is his whole world.The Goofy movies are a great modern story with the timeless Goofy.
Third at the end of 'a Goofy Movie' we saw Max starting to hang out with his dad and he was not ashamed of Goofy anymore.
Roxanne was the main storyline and the love of Max's life in 'a Goofy movie'.
Even though there was a Roxanne look-alike that never talked in the movie.This movie left me with the feeling of why did I watch part one (a goofy Movie) since this destroyed every good thing that came out of it..
Anyways, it's a good movie Although it gets a little sad But it does have a happy ending I suggest it for all Goofy fans There is some positive messages It's not released on Blu-Ray yet but on Netflix.
I really liked A Goofy Movie, it is not my favourite Disney movie, but it was charming, funny and touching with some great music and a sweet story.
An Extremely Goofy Movie does have its moments, but while A Goofy Movie is very good in my book, this is just so-so.The voice acting is very well done though, both Bill Farmer and Jason Marsden capture Goofy and Max perfectly.
The film also moves at a good pace, while the soundtrack while not as catchy or as touching is worth the listen.However, An Extremely Goofy Movie lacks the heart and magic of A Goofy Movie.
While I liked Goofy, I actually felt somewhat indifferent towards Max. He is not as easy to relate to and he was a bit of a bore.
And like others have said, this movie feels very contradictory in comparison, not just with Roxann but I don't think I ever saw Max behave the way he did here.
Five years later, just like many other animated Disney movies, that one got the direct-to-video sequel treatment.
I first saw "A Goofy Movie" from beginning to end in 2007, and watched it again earlier this year.
I never saw "An Extremely Goofy Movie", the 2000 direct-to-video sequel to the 1995 release, until this month.
However, for the most part, I didn't even think it was that.Max Goof is ready to leave home for college, and he is looking forward to it, but his father, Goofy Goof, is not very happy, knowing how much he is going to miss his son.
One of the things that helps "A Goofy Movie" entertain its audience is the humour, and that's definitely something that's missing for most of this sequel.
I didn't keep a straight face all the time while watching "An Extremely Goofy Movie", but certainly did for the majority of it.
In the part where Goofy suddenly enters the college classroom, his son's reaction is pretty funny, but the rest of the class laughing and Goofy's presence giving Max's punk rival something to make fun of him about, is not.
This sequel introduces some new characters, such as Bradley Uppercrust III and his fraternity, and Sylvia Marpole, the college librarian and Goofy's new love interest.
This "Beret Girl" appears in more than one scene after that, and is a poorly crafted character.These direct-to-video sequels from Disney often disappoint many fans of their theatrical predecessors, and this particular one certainly didn't turn out to be an exception.
"An Extremely Goofy Movie" has some occasional funny moments (though even those don't tend to be THAT funny) and nice animation, and there are characters for viewers to root for, but for the most part, it's basically just another cartoon, there's not much special about it.
I know I'm far from the first one to point this out, but as a sequel, this film has some continuity problems, with Goofy and Max's awkward relationship and the absence of Roxanne, as if the events of "A Goofy Movie" didn't happen!
An Extremely Goofy Movie i think is another Spectacular movie to watch, i think it's just as good as the first, the movie sets off with Max now older and ready to go to college, a life time freedom away from his dad.
Max wants to have a life of his own, goofy really doesn't want his son Max to grow up, but at the end of the day, everyone has to grow up and face the world with complicated things to solve and harder work.
Goofy's son Max goes to college to finally get Goofy of his back, unfortunately Goofy misses Max so much that he decides to follow Max.This movie's greatest assets lies in ace animations and some rather entertaining slapstick.
Goofy is both funny and sad and Max and his friends are an interesting bunch of characters.
Lastly, I thought that the relationship between Goofy and Max had improved and brought them closer together, which was one of the main themes of the first film.
Not as Good as the the other Goofy movie but Definitely Worth Seeing.
The setting is different, characters are new or at least 5 years older...the only thing the movies have in common is the theme of the bond between Max and Goof.
If you're looking for something as good as or better than "A Goofy Movie," do the shuffle away from this movie..
Everything that occurred in the first, and better, movie apparently never happened."Extremely" is good as above average, typical kids' fare.
I liked Extremely Goofy Movie as a kid and was a big fan of the first one so I decided to take a walk down memory lane and watch it again.
And oh boy does it not hold up at all.First of all the premise of the film sounds as unlike a Disney movie as possible: Max is now 18 and heading off to college, leaving his father Goofy to experience some extreme empty nest syndrome, but he finds a way to follow Max to school.
In an attempt at humor for the audience Goofy takes things way too far, becoming obsessive over his "Maxie" in a time when his son should be learning independence, to the point of complete suffocation.
Max never really grows or changes from his experience, and Goofy has found a new person to attach to so he doesn't really learn much either.The film is firmly stuck in the 2000's especially with the obsession with extreme sports and lame coffee jokes, (I guess women can't skate either?) but it also seems stuck in the 70's as Max and co only seem to have seventies related things to do on campus and background characters are dressed a few decades too old.
I didn't go to college in the early 2000's but I can tell you for sure it didn't look like that.Additionally one of the best things about the first Goofy Movie was its original songs and that didn't make its way into the sequel either.
Just 70's tunes to further legitimize Goofy's serious boundary issues.It's funny to write this kind of review for an old Disney sequel film that no one is going to seek out.
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.
From that moment on we get a tremendously entertaining ride through Goofy's time with Max at college.
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 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..
An Extremely Goofy Movie is an hilarious example of Disney magic.....for the most part.
While the film boasts great animation and some genuinely funny scenes, it also gets muddled with some poor dialogue and several plot holes (showing some Post-production tinkering.)  Nevertheless, this movie still had the ability to move and entertain me.
It was a good movie if you've never seen the first, you can't be disappointed, the animation was a hundred times better for a straight-to-video release than most others!!!
Just remember that sequels are never as good as the original :) Loz. Is NOT a horrible movie!
For all you know, many Goofy fans out there may have LOVED the TV show!"I am insulted by the fact that the movie claims that Goofy was in college in the '70's.
Even though Goofy cartoons have been living that long HE STILL HAS A NORMAL LIFE-SPAN!"Oh yeah, AND it introduces him to Sylvia, the college librarian, a fellow child of the Summer of Love, and they *gag* GO ON A DATE!!!!
You may or may not enjoy this movie, but wileyjp should NOT make you judge the "Goof Troop", "A Goofy Movie", or "An Extremely Goofy Movie" just on what she says, just because you're the fans of the same character!Just a message to you all, just because, as a fan, you think that something ruined that thing you liked, DOES NOT MEAN THAT OTHER FANS THINK THE SAME WAY YOU DO!THE DEFENSE RESTS!.
This used be one of my fav movies as a kid I got it out on DVD and video from the video store couple of times I did not think much of it but saying it was okay its not so great I am big fan of the first film because it was adventures and wild but this one is just a Blane old film which was not good since I am older now and I pay more a techern to Roxanne then I did when I was a kid because not seeing her in this one which was bad I am not saying it was bad I saw Roxanne like character with shorter hair and the goth girl that PJ feels in love with is just wrong she was a poor made undevelopment character who did not seem to give not much inserted to me she was boring and annoying they should of made her a more surfer type girl and they should of got the actor who played rose in the new series of doctor who to play the part as the stupid girl any way about the relationship with goofy and max I thought in first one they got together but in this one they are right back to wear they stared and goofy is working at a toy making shop I thought he worked at a photo shop in a supermarket they change it.
Well about the movie its just like babe where the 2nd babe is not as good as the first one but its okay for people who need to watch it.
Okay I would have to say if your a big fan of A goofy movie then you might not like this film and I agear the 2nd goofy movie is not as good as the first one.
Max has turned into a jerk, he was accepting his dad at the end of the first movie and now he's ashamed to know him.
If you liked the first movie and are looking for something equally as good steer clear, but if your looking for a film with Goofy and skateboarding antics its sure to be fine for you..
I am a very big fan of A Goofy Movie but I actually found it sort of difficult to finish this one.
Most of what made the first Goofy Movie so great was absent from this film.
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 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.
No The first goofy movie is my all time favorite Disney film, there's's just something so genuine, so clever, so charming, so creative about it, and it just oozes a 90's.
Yes I just said that.Pros- The college setting is creative and a nice idea Goofy is a great character and that doesn't change much here, the most likable character in the film, some plot threads are niceCons- Max, one of the protagonists is just so extremely dislikeable through most of the film, this wouldn't be nearly as bad of a problem if we didn't have a whole other film that addressed the whole father/son dynamic before.
For me it's possible.The cliché writing is cringe worthy in spots, plot threads you can see coming from a mile away.Conclusion- The whole film is horribly mediocre, and is not the sequel the first goofy movie deserves.
then much two Max's horror, his dad Goofy, in missing him so much, loses his job, and can't get another without a college degree, so he must go back too school.
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!
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.
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..
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.
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.
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.
Seeing Max go off to college and Goofy's feelings about it all was kind of interesting and rather unexplored territory in my opinion.
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.
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.
An Extremely Goofy Movie.
I don't know how successful the first Goofy Movie was, but this is probably meant to be the straight to video sequel.
Goofy going to college, in a million years that would happen.
5/10 Characters - Max is upset by Goofy's presence at college.
The movie is mostly about Max and Goofy's relationship, and both character's personalities are explained in the first movie anyways.7/10 Voice Acting/Dialogue - The voice acting is done really well and above the usual direct-to-video garbage.
The movie is actually a lot more quiet than A Goofy Movie, and yet doesn't feel like the theatrical release that it's predecessor was.
Screw Bobby, Roxanne was like one of favorite parts of A Goofy Movie.
