An Extremely Goofy Movie

This movie is one that both kids and adults will enjoy. Kids will laugh at the humor of the jokes and adults will remember the disco era with Goofy's disco moves. Although the movie still has the jokes, it doesn't add up to the laughs you get from the other Goofy movie. But it's still worth having in your Disney collection.

I watched this with my 4 year old and don't get me wrong it was watchable, had somewhat of a story but goofy obsession with Max is crazy, slightly creepy even.

First off, ignore the comment made by wileyjp, just a couple down from me. Obviously, though he claims to be a "true Goofy fan," he is quite the opposite. True fans of Goofy will love Goofy in any form, and in any age. He praises the animated shorts that Goofy starred in since the 30's, and hates the idea that Goofy had a girlfriend and a son. Then he never saw the animated shorts where Goofy was married and had a son in the 50's shorts.

Knowing that, the idea of Goofy being a father isn't far fetched. At least he had "a son" instead of nephews, which always puzzled me whenever cartoons were afraid to link any character to a jr version. Instead, we have Huey, Dewey and Louie with Uncle Donald, when it would have made more sense, (and may have been funnier), if he was their dad. 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. Though this movie isn't a great as the first, it has the same charm, and the same family connection that the first one conveyed. Anyone can enjoy this movie just as much as the first, and i recommend it to the True Goofy Fans out there.

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. This depresses the Goof who then is fired from his job at a toy factory. 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. 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.

Max must contend with both his father and a group of yuppie skum low lives known as the gammas. 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. It does this without becoming too sappy and always retains its good humor. My only complaint is that Disney did not release it to theaters first this is definitely a movie that would have worked on the big screen. Go buy it or at least rent it.

It's a good movie, I watched it on Netflix today. It wouldn't be good for fans of the first. But it would be good for Goof Troop fans. 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. Enjoy the movie on Netflix then get it on DVD if you want, or if you don't like it you don't have to watch it again but it is a good movie for kids (mainly tweens) And if you like it you can watch goof troop or the first movie. Last thing, Enjoy the movie on Netfilx :D :D :D :D :D :D
