Goofy's second feature opens with the big dog wistfully sending his teenage son Max off to his freshman year of college. In short order, daydreaming Dad is fired and learns he's not employable without finishing his degree at--you guessed it--the same university his beloved "Maxie" attends. Soon the eager father is embarrassing the heck out of his son and curbing his independence. At the same time, Max and his skateboarding buddies form an extreme sports team, challenging the snooty fraternity team captained by Bradley Uppercrust III, who doesn't grasp the concept of fair play. When things get rough, Goofy saves the day--and finds true love with a librarian who shares his '70s-era nostalgia. Any excuse to put Goofy in an afro wig and "Knock on Wood" and "Shake Your Groove Thing" on the soundtrack! The 73-minute story is serviceable and the moral commendable (integrity wins in the end). Ages 3 and up will enjoy the antics, but a lot of the (harmless) college jokes are aimed at adults. --Kimberly Heinrichs

3.0 out of 5 stars The old days..., December 16, 2004

A Kid's Review

This review is from: An Extremely Goofy Movie (Disney's) [VHS] (VHS Tape)

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

4.0 out of 5 stars Not as good as the first one, but still a great movie., March 21, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: An Extremely Goofy Movie (Disney's) [VHS] (VHS Tape)

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great movie you'll love!, June 1, 2002

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!
