Sure this movie was a great sequel, but it will never overcome A Goofy Movie.Disney is losing It`s old 90`s touch.The movie had no songs,Roxanne isn`t in it,and it`s story isn`t so great. But there is five questions.Will we ever know who Max`s mom is or how she looks like?And why isn`t Pistol or Peg ever shown?Are they just show-made characters or did Peg and Pete split up?Whatever happened to Roxanne?And how come after developing such a strong father-son relationship at the end of A Goofy Movie, Max still acts as if he hates his dad? Who knows maybe we`ll never know or Disney might make another sequel better than the second one as good or better than the first one explaining this.But i`ll never forget the old days where Disney actually made good movies and not terrible sequels like the worst sequel ever made by Disney, Lion King 1/2.Always remember the old days

I think it's fairly obvious that someone over at Disney really cared about the sequel to 'A Goofy Movie' being a quality film. 'An Extremely Goofy Movie', while not being as funny as its predecessor, definitely has a lot of heart, and to me, that was what shined about this movie the most. There are at least two scenes that are so touching that if you're a sensitive person you may actually find yourself starting to cry. Personally, I didn't cry, but I actually found myself sympathizing with Goofy's plight. Imagine that! I was sympathizing with, of all cartoon characters, Goofy! It's a sign of outstanding direction when an animated movie can move a person that much.

In my opinion, the animation for this movie is right up there in quality with 'A Goofy Movie'. It could have been released in theaters and I don't think anyone would have noticed any difference in animation quality. The animation is crisp and the colors are vibrant.

The only area in which this movie lacks is comedy. Sure, it does have its laughs, but for me, the laughs were few and far between. Like I said above, I thought 'A Goofy Movie' was funnier.

Like certain others who have reviewed this movie, I too missed Roxanne. I thought there should have at least been some passing mention of her. Still, even though she wasn't even mentioned, it doesn't affect continuity. After all, a lot can happen during high school. There's any number of things that could explain why Roxanne is absent from the film.

Overall, I thought 'An Extremely Goofy Movie' was a great movie not because it was hilarious, but because it had a lot of heart. I'm looking forward to another sequel.

Ah, well, what I mean is, you'll love this movie, but that's only because it's a sequel to the first one.
I prefer the first movie over this, although I wonder why almost every Disney movie, now has a sequel to itself. And sometimes, or most of the time, the sequel is not as good as the first.
It's great how the story continues, but it's not as how can I put it, exciting, as watching the first. I do enjoy watching this movie though, because I love Disney movies.
Max is now in college and Goofy is still seemingly ruining his life. Max isn't into Powerline anymore, he's a big-boy going to college and loves skateboarding. If you like the X-games this movie, will be funny to watch.
Goofy finds himself a girlfriend, Max continues to avoid him, he's still overcoming obstacles as he continues on his goofy life. Maybe by now, Max will understand why Goofy is so attached to him.
Just watch the movie... you'll get your opinion on it. It's worth it!

Let me just say, this movie was excellent!! Now, I'll admit, I'm a college student, and didn't think I'd find this movie interesting. I figured I had grown out of cartoons for good. However, after watching this HILARIOUS sequel I finally told myself that I would NEVER grow out of cartoons. "An Extremely Goofy Movie" is for adults, teenagers, and kids. It has everything for the whole family. Parents, watch this movie with your son and or daughter. Not only will you all laugh from the crazy antics brought to you by the characters in this movie, but it will also teach you and your child about learning to let go of one another and give each other some space. Oh, mom and dad, if you were fans of the 70's then you'll love one of the funniest scenes in the movie, which centers around goofy shaking his "Goof Thang" to the song, "Shake Your Groove Thang!" PLEASE DON'T MISS THIS MOVIE!!!!

It's hard to tell who at Disney thought of making direct-to-video sequels to their hits. Whoever thought of it, I have mixed emotions about. Some of their sequels are remotely good; others are, well, crud. This one fits into the "good" catagory, especially if you like "A Goofy Movie". This has the same sort of theme as the former, but presents it in a fresh, new way, unlike some Disney sequels with reused and borrowed plots. Basiclly, this is an outline of the plot: When Max goes off to collage, Goofy gets fired from his job because he's thinking about him instead of doing the work. When he applies for a new one elsewhere, he finds out that they won't grant him one because he doesn't have a full collage dagree. Any Goofy fan can figure out what happens next--Goofy goes to collage. THE SAME COLLAGE THAT MAX IS ATTENDING. From there, it just gets funnier and funnier as Goofy falls in love with the librarian (yes, believe it but don't ask), and more. The nice thing is that this movie is a worthy follow-up to the first, not just some old thing they make in an hour and throw out on the market in a fancy case so they can make some $$. While not perfect, neither was "Goofy Movie", and this follows it rather nicely. It embodies the same youthful spirit that Goofy has always had, and will please the fans. Good job, Disney--well done.

Whoever said sequels aren't always as good as their predecessors is describing "An Extremely Goofy Movie". A very disappointing sequel that isn't even half as good as "A Goofy Movie" with none of the main characters doing any songs in the film and some previous characters are omitted from the film. The movie's story line surrounds Goofy more then it does both him and his son, Max, but still follows the same plot as the first film (Goofy and Max getting stuck in a position where they have to work things out between them and find the bond between father and son) not something that should have been repeated if you ask me. As far as I'm concerned I have seen it but have no intentions of owning it. If you wanna good "Goofy Movie" get the first one not this one. I can say I think they need to bring out a 3rd and final film so we can find out what happened to the missing characters (Stacey & Roxanne).

That is my opinion on this movie.

Having never seen the original "Goofy Movie" I really had nothing to compare this to, except the old "Goof Troop" series. However, I found this video very entertaining. Despite the rather cliched situations found in pretty much every college movie (the college is ALWAYS an old, east-coast style school with old brick buildings and ivy-covered walls, there's ALWAYS a "big game" at the end, although the whole "X-Games" motif was rather refreshing, and ALWAYS an evil fraternity who cheats to win, although you would think someone would notice the rocket skateboards and various acts of sabotage...) they play with these conventions to create a heartwarming and touching narrative about the bond between a father and his son. It is so exciting to see Max realize that his father is pretty cool after all, and Goofy realize that Max has grown up and they both need to get on with their lives. It's also interesting to see an older and somewhat wiser group of characters since the "Goof Troop" series... you don't see cartoons age a lot in American animation... we see Goofy a little less frantic than his early days in the old Disney shorts, trying to control (yet not all that well) his innate klutziness, we see Max's change from the happy-go-lucky middle schooler in "Goof Troop" to an embittered yet honest young man, and we see P.J. (the stereotypical fat kid) display some "hidden talents" and get the girl at the end. While they could have done a lot more with the story, Disney has produced a charming and humorous narrative which has a simple yet cool message for kids, and some inside humor and nifty nostalgia for adults. Hopefully this is not the end of a trend of good direct-to-video releases.

I wasn't sure what to expect from this movie. Actually, I expected it to be similar to the bad sequels that Disney usually puts out. Most straight to video sequels tend to have bad animation quality. The quality of animation was good in this "Goofy" sequel. I was starting high school with the first "Goofy" movie. Coincidence that Max and I started college "together". It was really touching to see how such a big event as going to college in life impacts both parents and children. I was glad to see PJ get a girl! The whole coffe house scene was very amusing. lol

"An Extremely Goofy Movie" is a good bookend to "A Goofy Movie." Picking up where the first left off, this, often straight up cheesy sequel, follows Max off to college with his buddies. Hilarity ensues as Goofy is forced to get a college education to further himself, ending up attending the same school as Max. Skateboarding, bad hair, and disco music pepper the remainder of the film, giving you a real sense of closure in the storyline when the end finally arrives, however it does leave things open ended enough to ask the question "The Goofiest Movie?"

The DVD release is fabulous. The menus are a bit obnoxious, and the bonus content is not as thorough as one would like it (what is "Kids Nuttiest Jokes" doing on here?), but it's nice to get a "widescreen" version of the film (even if it isn't 'true' widescreen) - an option offered only to viewers of the UK "Goofy Movie" DVD. "An Extremely Goofy Movie" is becoming more difficult to find on store shelves, so Disney may be cutting back on the distribution on this for a while. It always seems to be back to store shelves eventually, however.

Stop watching it on Toon Disney and grab the DVD!

This is just as cool as the first one! Although, I do agree with that one customer, they probably should've added Roxanne again. I know it was probably a high school thing. They either didn't want to see each other again, Roxanne moved, or she just went to another college! But even without Roxanne it was really good. It might not be as funny to little kids because some parts are hard to understand, and they don't know a lot about the '70's! The music is cool too. I bought the sountrack too! When I first rented this movie, I thought the berret girl was Roxanne on the back of the case! No. I also thought that there was gonna be more Powerline, because on the commercials they showed the disco parts and I didn't know. After I rented it I just had to get it! As I said before, this is just as good as the first!
