Summary: Get Goofy!
Review: "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!

Summary: A great, funny movie
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."~ 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. These dreams are rudely interrupted by the return of Goofy who, dressed in '70's clothes, immediately begins treating his boy as, well his boy."~ cheating to accomplish that. a movie that would have worked on the big screen. Go buy it.

Summary: A great movie you'll love!
Review: 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!

Summary: A Better Film From Disney
Review: An Extremely Goofy Movie is one of the best animated features to come from Disney in a long time. Unlike their recent paint by number theatrical releases that emphasize marketable characters and a predictable formula this film has a charming and refreshing story, vibrant artwork and best of all, Goofy. This is a good follow-up for A Goofy Movie. If you're looking for an animated film the whole family can enjoy this is it.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Not as good as "A Goofy Movie" But Entertaining!
Review: As sequels ususually go, they can never outdo the first one. Same goes for "An Extremely Goofy Movie". It isn't nearly as great as "A Goofy Movie" and I was a bit let down. Never the less, it was still very entertaining, and goofy! Altough, unlike the first one, I couldn't watch this movie more than 5 times.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This is a great movie!
Review: As usual, Bill Farmer has a great talent of making such a funny Goofy voice. Jason Marsden does a good job, but he doesn't matter in this review. All voicers give wonderful verbal expression, and the animators can make it look like there are "things" like Goofy and Max out there because they can make the faces resemble the voices. My sister mostly only enjoys it because of Jason Marsden. She also tracked down movies done by him, rented White Squall and said she'd give it 5 stars.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Not a sequel, but great alone
Review: Don't buy this expecting a sequel to 'A Goofy Movie'. The only similiarity is the cast...minus Roxanne. Alright, she was cute, but the plot of X-Goofy isn't romance...(that's for Goofy and Sylvia (proof that you DON'T have to be skinny to look hot in a jumpsuit!))...but of Max and the boys winning the X-games and of course...the wonderfully touching generation gap between father and son. The disco sequence and the dancing behind the credits are worth the price alone. Bobby had me on the *floor*! ^_^

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Goofy Shakes His Groove Thing
Review: 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.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Entertaining, but Disney can do better
Review: I am a Disney fan. Quoting "Roger Rabbit", "Goofy's a genius." This movie does not disappoint in its quality. On the whole it is a very good movie, but They have done much better. Goofy isn't goofy enough. His son is too cynical, the situations that Goofy gets into could be a bit more fantastic. It's just missing a notch that Disney and Goofy usually give us.
