Spoonerville

Spoonerville is the hometown of Goofy, Pete, and their respective families, as seen in the 1992 TV series Goof Troop and its spinoff feature films A Goofy Movie and An Extremely Goofy Movie.
It is named after layout artist J. Michael Spooner, who designed many of the town's background layouts seen in Goof Troop.
==Background==
Spoonerville has been given a widely diverse history across various mediums. In the premiere episode of Goof Troop, Goofy briefly mentions to his son, Max, that the town was "built on a reclaimed swamp in 1932," but this was never again mentioned afterward. It is even contradicted later in the episode "Hallow-Weenies", in which a trio of ghost musicians are said to have been stuck haunting the old Spoonerville Mansion ever since they died before getting to play their gig there back in 1929.
In the April 1995 issue of Disney Adventures magazine, a Goof Troop comic strip titled "Losted Founder's Day" tells a completely different origin for Spoonerville. In this comic, Max's teacher explains that the early history of the valley where Spoonerville resides (named Spooner Valley in this comic) is largely unknown, a mystery wrapped in claims of folklore, tradition, and hearsay. Some say it was gold prospectors who first came to the valley back when it was a dry desert, while other say it was settlers, with a man named Farmer Spooner being the first.
Max, however, recounts a version of Spoonerville's origin that combines all of the various claims together, which he had learned from his father, Goofy, who had himself been told it by his own grandfather: In the 1800s, two prospectors named Sourdough Goof and Grubstake Pete came out to the valley where Spoonerville would later be, in order to mine it for gold. Meanwhile, a farmer named Spooner had also come out west to start up a farm in this valley. While Sourdough and Grubstake were unsuccessful at finding any gold, Farmer Spooner used their efforts to help himself unearth a large underground reservoir of water that shot up to the surface and formed Spooner Lake. He then started his farm and eventually founded the town that would come to be known as Spoonerville.
Though no gold had ever been found, the episode titled "Fool's Gold" reveals that there is indeed a rather large deposit of gold buried very deep beneath the surface of Spoonerville; a deposit so large that it has been proven realistically unfeasible to excavate it in its entirety.
In the November 1992 issue of Disney Adventures, another Goof Troop comic, titled "Hamming It Up!", has Goofy state that, before Spoonerville became a city, there used to be a lot of farms in the area back when he was little. This fits with how, in the present day, there are still some farms seen in the areas around Spoonerville, with one particular rural community dubbed the Spoonerville Heartland in the episode "A Goof of the People", and whose cow herds are even registered voters.
In the sixth issue of The Disney Afternoon comic book series (published April 1995), a Goof Troop comic story titled "Dog Days" reveals that the site where the Goofs' house currently stands used to be occupied by a hot dog establishment named Tut's Doghouse.
Spoonerville has also been the home to traditional events that have occurred year after year for a long time. The episode "Tub Be or Not Tub Be" sees Spoonerville holding its tenth annual Water Carnival, in which one of its biggest events is the Bathtub Race that runs all throughout and outside of the town. In "Mrs. Spoonerville", the titular Mrs. Spoonerville Society's "semi-biannual" (actually just "annual") Househelper Contest takes place. "Rally Round the Goof" features the 13th annual Spoonerville 500 Road Rally race. "Window Pains" features the eighth annual Busy Bee Contest run by the Better Business Association of Spoonerville. And in the aforementioned "Hamming It Up!" comic, it is the time of year for Spoonerville to have its big county fair.
There are also, apparently, Miss Spoonerville beauty pageants, as "Buddy Building" had Peg refer to Miss Spoonerville as a local celebrity that car dealer Harold Hatchback had gotten for one of his commercials, saying of Miss Spoonerville, "I guess some men like their women with mustaches."
===Location===
The exact location of Spoonerville has never been concretely defined by any of its appearances. What is known is that it is located somewhere in the United States both on and around a peninsula that lies within a large coniferous valley surrounded by mountains and a river that runs into a large body of water, all within the fictional Spoonerville County.Mentioned in "Major Goof". Its winters are cold and snowy (as seen in "Winter Blunderland", "Gymnauseum", and "A Pizza the Action") while its warmest weather can be intensely hot (as seen in "The Ungoofables", "Bringin' on the Rain", and the July 1993 comic strip "Chill Out!").
Seven states in particular that it most likely does not reside in are Florida, Louisiana, Oklahoma, Nebraska, Colorado, Montana, and Idaho. In the Goof Troop episode "Inspector Goofy", Pete tries to sell a used car with the caveat of it having "original Florida air in the tires!" and in the episode "Tub Be or Not Tub Be", it is said that Pete has alligators shipped "Special delivery from Florida" every year for one of his yearly schemes. Also, in the latter episode, Goofy compares the muddy state of a local race course to that of a Louisiana swamp, mentioning the state's name as though Spoonerville resided elsewhere. In the episode "From Air to Eternity", Pete mentions "the mountains of Oklahoma" in allusion to that state being a far off place from Spoonerville, while in "Partners in Grime", Peg says of Pete, "If he had a brain the size of his ego, his head wouldn't fit in Nebraska," implying that state to be another faraway place.
In the Christmas special, the Goof and Pete families travel to Asperin, Colorado (a parody of Aspen, Colorado) and mention the state's name along with Asperin to indicate that they were initially traveling to Colorado from outside of that state. Later, in the same special, Max exclaims "Eww! I've died and gone to Montana!" upon seeing the rustic interior of his and Goofy's cabin, implying Montana to be yet another far off place from his home. And finally, A Goofy Movie has Goofy wanting to take Max fishing at Lake Destiny over in Idaho by a road trip that is clearly a cross-country one spanning multiple days of travel.
The most common assumption is that Spoonerville is located somewhere in the state of Ohio, based on how, in A Goofy Movie, the map used by Goofy for his and Max's trip from their hometown to Lake Destiny twice shows the map's route to definitely begin somewhere in Ohio. This theory is further supported by the Goof Troop episode "Wrecks, Lies & Videotape" in which TV personality Biff Fuddled (who is shown to be local to Spoonerville in his other episode appearances) briefly mentions that the TV station at which he hosts The World's Most Painful Home Videos is located in a place called "Contusion Tower, Ohio, 432701192".
However, many other Goof Troop episodes rather contradict the Ohio theory completely. In a number of episodes, a local TV station is shown to be named KBOB T.V. Spoonerville; call signs beginning with K are for stations located west of the Mississippi River, while states east of the river (like Ohio) have stations with W call signs. Plus, "The Good, the Bad and the Goofy" in particular has Goofy, in reference to Akron, Ohio, state that "It's a long way back to Ohio, you know," from where he is at the time in the episode; said location being an old gas station situated on a vast desert road that a local news report declares to be either a part of or near to Spoonerville. And many other episodes (including that one) do indeed show Spoonerville to be within reasonable driving distance of desert areas, with the aforementioned comic strip "Losted Founder's Day" even declaring Spooner Valley itself to have once been a dry desert valley located "out west". As there are no deserts in Ohio, this would instead suggest Spoonerville to reside somewhere in the Western United States.
Further supporting this is how, in the episode titled "O, R-V, I N-V U", Pete takes everyone to Las Vegas on a road trip that they seems to complete in less than a single day. Plus, in the comic strip titled "Woolly Bully" (published July 1995 in the ninth issue of The Disney Afternoon comic book series), the car Pete drives in that story sports a front license plate that reads "California 414".Granted, this car of Pete's is also a very different one from the car he owned in the Goof Troop TV series, as opposed to how, in the Goof Troop comic strip titled "The Toys of Summer" (published May 1995 in the seventh issue of The Disney Afternoon), Goofy's own automobile is shown to be the very same one from the TV show (albeit, miscolored purple instead of red). It is entirely possible that the different-looking car Pete drives in "Woolly Bully" could be a rental car, as he and the other characters were out of town visiting a dude ranch that Pistol emphasized as being "out west" as though Spoonerville itself wasn't out west. And, the Disney Adventures five-part crossover comic storyline "The Legend of the Chaos God" declares Spoonerville to be far enough away from New York CityWhere Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers is considered to be set. that it takes "many days" for Edger the Crow to fly from that city to reach the particular spread interstate highway that leads directly to Spoonerville. Moreover, the same comic storyline also implies Spoonerville to be within a single night's driving distance of Duckburg,Albeit, still a great distance away, as Scrooge McDuck irately utters "all the way from Spoonerville!" as though the distance between the two cities was a considerably costly length. which is located in the (fictional) state of Calisota, which itself is generally located where Northern California would be in the real world.However, multiple times in A Goofy Movie, Goofy's map shows California to be as it is in the real world, with Calisota nowhere to be found. Yet, towards the beginning of the movie, a mailing address for Scrooge McDuck's company (Duck Sales Co., Money Bin Dr., Duckburg, USA) is seen on the back of a comic book owned by a couple of students from Max's school, strongly implying that, even if Calisota doesn't exist in the movie, Duckburg itself does.Although, the 1987 TV series DuckTales was at times similarly inconsistent on where Duckburg itself was located:"Magica's Shadow War": A map of Duckburg shows it to be a landlocked city, rather than a coastal city, with the large body of water bordering it shown to be a large river instead of an ocean."Earth Quack": It is said that "Californy" lies to the west of Duckburg, implying Duckburg to lie somewhere east of California."Double-O-Duck": Two aerial views of the world show Duckburg to be on the East Coast, southwest of Washington D.C."Dr. Jekyll & Mr. McDuck": Detective Shedlock Jones claims there to be a six hour time difference between London and Duckburg, which would place Duckburg in the Central Time Zone of the United States."Yuppy Ducks": The only episode of the show to ever mention Calisota, but never in regards to it being where Duckburg resides.
And yet, further episodes also contradict both of the above theories by sometimes presenting Spoonerville as a coastal city. While the large body of water that borders Spoonerville is shown in some episodes to be a large lake (Spooner LakeThe lake was alternatively named "Fossil Lake" in the storybook adaptation of "Great Egg-Spectations".), other episodes instead present it as a bay that leads out to sea. The episode "Slightly Dinghy" even names it Spooner Bay, and features a coral reef structure far off the coast named Scarrier Reef, where lies the legendary sunken treasure of the pirate Nearbeard, guarded by a fish called Tiny TunaSo named in the storybook adaptation of "Slightly Dinghy" (a saltwater fish). Plus, "Calling All Goofs" features the Spoonerville Harbor, where Goofy attempts to travel by ship to a place called Tierra del Foongo (which is presumably outside the U.S. since it's a parody of Tierra del Fuego) after he and Max originally attempted to travel there by airplane. And, the aforementioned "Tub Be or Not Tub Be" likewise refers to the harbor's shipping and receiving company while also featuring Spoonerville's lake in the same episode, depicting the city as having both the large landlocked lake and the open-sea harbor.
The Goof Troop video game likewise alludes to the town as being near the ocean, along with the game's main setting being on a volcanic island named Spoonerville Island, whose native islanders speak with stereotypical Jamaican accents.This probably means little as far as the island's location is concerned since Jamaican accents are a common stereotype of island natives in a lot of cartoons. The Goof Troop TV series itself even once featured an islander with a Jamaican accent in the episode "Cabana Fever".
And then, there is Goofy's original claim from the pilot episode that Spoonerville had been "built on a reclaimed swamp in 1932," which suggests the town to be in a wetlands state. While the aforementioned "Woolly Bully" comic strip from issue #9 of The Disney Afternoon has the characters go out of town to visit a dude ranch that Pete's daughter, Pistol, emphasizes as being "out west", as though Spoonerville itself wasn't out west.
Last but not least, the 2330th issue of Le Journal de Mickey (published on February 12, 1997) features a special Dingo & Max"Goofy & Max", the French title of A Goofy Movie comic titled "Je T'Ayuck"A play on the phrase "Je T'Aime", which is French for "I Love You", essentially translating to "I Ayuck You". (retitled "The Show Hyuck'st Go On" in the 2023 English adaptation published by Fantagraphics in volume 3 of The Disney Afternoon Adventures) that was set around the time of Valentine's Day, but which showed the town to be completely devoid of snow or cold weather of any kind, suggesting Spoonerville to be somewhere that doesn't stay cold and snowy through to the end of Winter, warming up rather quickly not long after January, with all snow melted and gone by mid-February.
In the end, all of these conflicting sources make it virtually impossible to pinpoint exactly where Spoonerville is supposed to be, as it could be literally be anywhere in the country that the plots of whatever episode, movie, comic, video game, etc. needed it to be, regardless of all of the inconsistencies that came about as a result of such flexible storytelling.
==Appearances==
===Goof Troop===
Spoonerville is the setting of the 1992 Goof Troop TV series, in which it debuts and serves as the hometown of Goofy, Pete, and their respective immediate families. Goofy and his son Max begin the series by living in a trailer park located in another city (quite possibly MousetonSee the Trivia section of Mickey's Once Upon a Christmas for more on this.), from which they move to Spoonerville and into the house next door to Pete in the pilot episode. Goofy notes that he is specifically moving back to Spoonerville after a presumed long absence, since he, Pete, and Pete's wife Peg all act like Goofy had been gone from Spoonervile since high school, while Max is strongly implied to have never lived in Spoonerville before his moving there with his father.
Despite this, several episodes of the series would instead treat Goofy and Max as having always lived in Spoonerville, next door to Pete, for multiple years, with only two episodes ever referring back to the pilot episode's original status quo for the Goofs.
Max starts off as a preteen who attends Spoonerville Jr. High School along with Pete's son P.J., while Pete's daughter Pistol attends a Kindergarten class at a local preschool. Goofy, Pete, and Peg are old high school friends, having previously attended Spoonerville High twenty-five years prior, and from which they graduated together along with fellow alumnus Mrs. Wanda Jean Schmeltzer. Goofy and Pete in particular are old childhood friends, having grown up together. In the present, Goofy has earned his diploma for the degree of Widget Waffler Deluxe, while Pete is the owner of Honest Pete's Used Cars & RVs, and Peg runs her own real estate agency, Peg-O-My-Heart Realty.
Various adventures and misadventures take place in and around Spoonerville throughout the full course of the series, whether such events are confined to the homes of Goofy and Pete or spread to other places within the city limits.
The city is populated predominately by anthropomorphic dog people like Goofy and Max, but is no stranger to a few other anthropomorphized animal species like cats (namely Pete and his family), pigs, rats, and cows/bulls. It is also shown to have its own class of high society, with such upper class citizens as Mr. Farnsworth in "Waste Makes Haste" and Mrs. Willoughby in "Goofin' Up the Social Ladder" residing in wealthy mansions. The latter resident is said to live on South Hill with other rich folk, and her estate is identified as the Minx Mansion in "And Baby Makes Three", but which is also seen in "Where There's a Will, There's a Goof" to instead be occupied by a different owner. A skyscraper in the downtown area named Huge Tower is occupied by the wealthy Mr. Howling Huge, as seen in "Where There's Smoke, There's Goof".
The city is governed by a mayor and a city council. The most widely seen mayor in the series is Mayor Baba, while a different-looking mayor appears in "Window Pains"It is entirely possible that the mayor seen in this episode was supposed to be Mayor Baba, and that the animators simply used the wrong character model (one belonging to a background civilian character seen in multiple episodes) by mistake., and Goofy himself is elected to mayor in "A Goof of the People". Dutch Trecker is the district attorney, and a chief inspector works (or worked) at City Hall, while the police department is headed by a no-nonsense police chief. Conversely, the fire department is run by a rather absent-minded fire chief.
Local television faces include news reporters Danielle Wrathmaker, Dan Blather, Sandee Seznee, Roland R. Havacheque, Mutt Tanner, and another unnamed female reporter. TV personality Biff Fuddled works at KBOB T.V., hosting such shows as Odd Facts, Strange Stuff, and Things Too Weird to Fake and The World's Most Painful Home Videos. He also reported the news once and hosts the Mrs. Spoonerville Househelper Contest. Harmen Bleach, meanwhile, hosts The Lifestyles of the Up and Crusty, and the city's newspapers are the Spoonerville TimesDisney Adventures Volume 5 Issue #13: Max's Make Over Part 2 and Tribune."Cabana Fever"
A line of railroad tracks runs the full length of the town, off center to one side of the peninsula. Outside of the city in a remote sector of its surrounding woods is the Spoonerville County Militia Armory and Surplus Depot, where the U.S. Army keeps and stores obsolete and out-dated equipment like tanks and trucks, and which can be accessed by Peg's uncle, retired brigadier general Robert E. Lee Sparrowhawk.
One of the town's most popular attractions is the local Goony Golf miniature golf course, at which practically half the town grew up playing there over the decades, making it a prominent and sentimental piece of Spoonerville history. So much so that when Pete bought the place and threatened to tear it down in "Tee for Two", the whole town contributed to Peg's efforts to save Goony Golf from being demolished. Luckily, Pete's mind was changed and he reopened the course under the his new management, renaming it Pete's Goony Golf.
Spoonerville is also the home to a number of sporting events and teams. The Spoonerville Sparrows are the town's Major League Baseball team, with Lefty McGuffin as one of its southpaw pitchers. The town's Little League Baseball team is the Spoonerville Sluggers, coached by Coach Roach, and on which Goofy and Pete used to play as kids thirty years prior. The Spikers are a football team presumably local to Spoonerville in the National Football League. Spoonerville Amphitheater is used for such events as the aforementioned Mrs. Spoonerville contest and televised Wrestling for DollarsThis TV program is also mentioned in the DuckTales episode "Down & Out in Duckburg" by Duckworth, who mistook it for Scrooge McDuck's favorite TV show, and mentioned again in the Darkwing Duck episode "Apes of Wrath" by Launchpad McQuack, meaning that it is broadcast in the cities of all three shows: Duckburg, St. Canard, and Spoonerville. matches featuring Spoonerville's resident world champion wrestler Myron "The Incredible Bulk" Brogan. Other gross-out sports programs broadcast in Spoonerville include Goontown Gladiators and Grosserama II, the latter of which once featured The Mighty Ralph going for his fifth straight international belching title by melting first the windshield of a semi truck in fifty feet and then a stained glass window.
Unfortunately, Spoonerville also has its fair share of crooks, crime lords, and ne'er-do-wells. In "Counterfeit Goof", a counterfeiting ring is run by a Mr. Braxton, while in "Goof Fellas", Larry "No Thumbs" Noodleman (A.K.A, "Mr. Big" or sometimes just called "Hey, You") heads "one of the toughest, roughest, meanest, rudest gangs in all of Spoonerville". Robber duo Spud and Wally pop in and out of Spoonerville a couple of times to steal things, and small-time teenage thug Leech is always looking to cause trouble, whether it's frisking children for their lunch money, pick-pocketing bystanders, or shoplifting local stores (as seen in "Maximum Insecurity").
Similarly, Southside Spoonerville is a rather dreary, urban area filled with so-named roads as Bleak Street and Nowhere Avenue, the intersection of which is where bullies can be found committing shakedowns on hapless innocents.
The episode "Big City Blues" shows Spoonerville to be within driving distance of another, much larger, and more upscale city that lies just down the interstate, and which may or may not have been the same other city from which Goofy and Max moved to Spoonerville back in the pilot episode.
Spoonerville is also the setting for all printed media related to Goof Troop, including the three Goof Troop storybooks (the Goof Troop: Junior Graphic Novel, "Goin' Gold-Fishing", and "Great Egg-Spectations"), and all of the Goof Troop comics published in Disney Adventures, Disney's Colossal Comics Collection, and The Disney Afternoon. It is also setting of the French-original La Bande à DingoThe French name for Goof Troop, meaning "The Dingo Band"; with "Dingo" being Goofy's French name comics published in Le Journal de Mickey and the Disney Club graphic novel "Le Visiteur De L'Extra-Temps"English: "The Visitor From Another Time".
===La Bande à Dingo: Le Visiteur De L'Extra-Temps===
In this French-original graphic novel, the city of Spoonerville (or "Loufoqueville", see "Trivia" below) is explored even further. Namely, the story declares that Spoonerville is not just a city, but specifically a municipality.
A different-looking mayor from any of those seen in the TV show is featured, and the City Council makes its first, last, and only appearance in this story. The council meets in a large lavish Council Chamber inside City Hall and is comprised of at least eleven lethargic men and two others, one of whom presides over the council (presumably being the deputy mayor) and the other being a retired Army officer named General Boxer. By the story's end, General Boxer resigns from his position on the City Council.
A local television station is given in the story as Canard Plus, whose leading reporter featured heavily in the story is Ray LeParkey. He and a number of other press reporters interview General Boxer about recent events from within the Information Room at City Hall. A TV game show Pete watches is named L'Introuvable ("The Unfindable") and the city's newspaper featured in this story is named the Loufoqueville Soir ("Loufoqueville Evening").
The downtown area of the city is depicted as a rather up-scaled area with lots of skyscrapers clustered together, and a large number of smaller stores and shops in its immediate surrounding area, with residential zones placed further outward. One particular neighborhood of great significance in the story is named Bellevue.
Bellevue starts off as the location of old yet well known quarries that collapse in a landslide near the beginning of the story. Max and P.J. mention how they had played near the quarries in the week prior to their collapse. During this time, Bellevue was to have been the site of a new real estate complex named "Les Collines de Bellevue" ("The Hills of Bellevue") built by developer Al Bétone. But after the collapse of the quarries, the mayor deems the site unsafe for construction. By the story's end, it is decided by the mayor that a new park will be built on the property instead, one that will feature a track for skateboards and mountain bikes, as well as a garden decorated with life-sized dinosaur statues.
Al Bétone himself is presented as a real estate developer who used to run the famous Le Cirque Betone ("The Betone Circus"), having garnered such nicknames as "Monsieur Loyal" ("Ringmaster") and "Le Barnum du Beton" ("The Barnum of Concrete") for himself. His lawyer, Joris Prudence, used to be a clown in his circus. By the story's end, Bétone quits the real estate business to relaunch his circus.
In or near to the city is an Army base, where General Boxer's friend General Terrier works as a member of the general staff. Of note is how this base is a different one from the Spoonerville County Militia Armory and Surplus Depot.
To the west of the city is an area known as the Baie des Dragons ("Bay of Dragons"), a large craggy and sandy area that lies along the city's coastline.
In the story itself, Spoonerville is thrown into a mass panic after a misunderstanding inadvertently caused by film director Steve Splitscreen, as well as by General Boxer's hasty decisions, leads the townspeople into thinking that the city is set to be attacked by a hoard of dinosaurs. Everyone attempts to evacuate, causing traffic jams in the downtown area. In the wake of the chaos, the city is left completely deserted by all but the story's main characters. The citizens presumably all return home and resume their normal lives once the crisis is put to rest.
===A Goofy Movie===
As a spinoff of Goof Troop, the 1995 feature film A Goofy Movie (and all of its printed media adaptations and tie-ins) naturally sees Spoonerville as the setting for its first act and its final scene, though the town is unnamed in the movie.
Max and P.J., now high schoolers, attend the town's local high school, while Goofy and Pete now work at The Children's Portrait Studio in a department store at the town's mall. In this movie, much of Spoonerville's teenage population are fans of music superstar Powerline, and when Max tells his crush Roxanne that he and Goofy will be performing onstage with Powerline at a concert in Los Angeles (based on a fib he tells her about Goofy being an old friend of Powerline's), word of this spreads around the town, turning Max himself into a local celebrity.
When Goofy decides to take Max on an impromptu cross-country road trip in the movie's first act, he and Max hit the road and leave town, but not without first passing through a neighboring big city along the way, which may or may not be the same city that was previously seen in "Big City Blues".
At the film's conclusion, Goofy and Max return to their hometown from their vacation.
===An Extremely Goofy Movie===
The town is only briefly featured in An Extremely Goofy Movie, the 2000 direct-to-video sequel to A Goofy Movie, as the majority of the film instead takes place at the State college located outside of Spoonerville (which is again unnamed in this movie).
With Max and P.J. now high school graduates bound for college, the two of them move out of their respective homes and leave town, along with their friend Bobby Zimuruski, to attend the State college. Meanwhile, Goofy is now employed as a factory worker at Beekins Toy Company, but it is not known if Beekins is located in or outside of Spoonerville. He loses his job and eventually joins Max at the college to finish his own education and get a college degree so that he can seek new employment.
At one point, Goofy returns to his home in Spoonerville to confide in Pete after Max, in a fit of anger, had disowned him as his father. Once Goofy regains his focus, he returns to the college to make things right with his son, his education, and his new girlfriend Sylvia Marpole.
===Mickey's Twice Upon a Christmas===
While it goes unnamed in this special, the town that Goofy lives in seen in the "Christmas Maximus" segment of Mickey's Twice Upon a Christmas (and its graphic novel adaptation) may very possibly be Spoonerville.
Max, now a young adult living in another city up north, is returning home for Christmas to introduce his lady friend Mona to Goofy. Max and Mona take a train to Max's hometown; Goofy meets them at the train station to pick them up and bring them back to his house, where they spend their Christmas together.
==Video Games==
===Disney's Extremely Goofy Skateboarding===
In this 2001 PC game, five of the twelve locations at which Goofy or Max go skateboarding are implied to be located in Spoonerville. Specifically, the level named "Small Town" is stated by Goofy to be his neighborhood, and even features both his and Pete's houses from Goof Troop (albeit, with Pete's house colored blue instead of pink) complete with the little overhanging ledge of earth found at the street corner of Goofy's front yard, the patio in Pete's backyard, and a wooden skateboarding half-pipe (like the one Max had in An Extremely Goofy Movie) in Goofy's backyard. Likewise, the school in this town, while visibly different from either of the schools seen in Goof Troop or A Goofy Movie, is situated in the direction from Goofy's house that the high school was in A Goofy Movie.
Additionally, Goofy implies four other locations to also reside in Spoonerville: A forest park (which he calls "the old riverbed"), an outdoor skatepark (which he calls "Max's favorite skatepark", and which Max himself reaffirms), a beach with a boardwalk (which he calls "the old boardwalk") and an amusement park (about which Goofy says "I love the Fun Fair!"). While none of these locations contains any recognizable features from either Goof Troop or its movies (like the Small Town did), Goofy expresses such a personal familiarity with each of them that they might as well be locations within Spoonerville's vicinity.
The remaining seven locations of this game are an indoor skatepark, a big city, a construction site, a city park, a desert, a ghost town, and a mine (which Goofy calls "the old space center"). Since the indoor skatepark is situated between the boardwalk and the fun fair, it too could possibly be located in Spoonerville, which the big city, construction site, and city park could all be located outside of Spoonerville in the larger city seen near the State college in An Extremely Goofy Movie. Meanwhile, the desert, ghost town, and old space center mine could all reside closer to but still outside of Spoonerville since Goof Troop did show Spoonerville to be pretty close to desert areas, and while Goofy is less familiar with the old space center than he was with the first five locations, the fact that he identifies it at show suggests that he has at least heard of its existence, which would make the most sense if it were at least within driving distance from Spoonerville.

==Trivia==
*In addition to the town's name, a number of its locations are named after members of the Goof Troop series production staff. Eikleberry Park and Norton Drugs are named after storyboard artists Larry Eikleberry and John Norton, respectively, while Bob's Market is likely named after supervising producer Robert Taylor.
*In other languages where its name is changed, Spoonerville is known as "Loufoqueville" (French, meaning "Goofyville"In this case, "goofy" as in "ridiculous" or "farcical", rather than the name of the Disney character.), "Vovsekøbing" (Danish, meaning "Doggieville"), Hundshausen (German, meaning "Dogsville" or "Houndsville"), and "Hopolan" (Finnish, meaning "Goofyville"This time the name is derived from Goofy's Finnish name, "Hessu Hopo").
*However, in the German-translated version of Le Visiteur De L'Extra Temps (retitled "Goofy & Max: Die Rückkehr der Dinos"English: "Goofy & Max: The Return of the Dinos"), the town is not named "Hundhausen" but is instead referred to as "Entenhausen", which is the German name of Duckburg. This change suggests that the German writers thought that Goof Troop (or Goofy & Max, as it's known in Germany) was set in Duckburg instead of a different city, in a vein similar to how, in Germany, Mickey Mouse's (and by extension Goofy's) hometown seen in classic Disney comics is not a separate city named Mouseton but is instead just a different district of Duckburg. Nevertheless, this change remains exclusive to the story it was published in, as the German dub of the TV show did present the city as Hundshausen/Spoonerville rather than Entenhausen/Duckburg.
*The city of St. Canard also has its own Goony Golf miniature golf course, as seen in the Darkwing Duck episode "Getting Antsy", in which the villain Lilliput was shown to be its main (if not its sole) employee. The presence of a Goony Golf in each city suggests the miniature golf course to be a chain, or at least run by the same parent company (that is, until Pete bought the Goony Golf in Spoonerville and rebranded it as Pete's Goony Golf, while Lilliput likewise may have owned the one in St. Canard).
*Spoonerville is also presumably where Goofy and Max live in the 1994 Mouse Works storybook "Me and My Dad", but there's really nothing to say about it in that story since it mostly takes place at a beach away from their home.
*The Raw Toonage cartoon short "Goofy's Guide to the Olympics" is set in a town that bears such a striking resemblance to Spoonerville that it very well might be Spoonerville. And if it is, then according to that short, Spoonerville's sewers are crawling with crocodiles.
*Though not seen, Spoonerville is briefly mentioned alongside St. Canard in the 2017 DuckTales TV series' first episode, "Woo-oo!", in which both cities are said to be among the expanding markets of Scrooge McDuck's ever-growing business empire. However, of all of the cases that Spoonerville has appeared or been referenced in fiction, its mention in this series is the only one that is definitely in a separate continuity from all of the others listed above (though, Mickey's Twice Upon a Christmas may be separate as well due to the continuity issues of that special; see the Trivia section of that special's article for more).
*Signage added to Mickey's Toontown at Disneyland in 2023 lists Spoonerville as a "Best Friend City" of Toontown alongside Duckburg, Mouseton, and Hot Dog Hills.
