## Spoilers
### Plot
Max heads off to college for a life of extreme sports and independence, but Goofy misses him so much that he loses his job and enrolls at the same college to finish his own degree.[3](https://movies.disney.com/an-extremely-goofy-movie) Goofy arrives carrying his 1970s ideas of college life, and when he teams up with a like-minded school librarian, disco lights and mood rings return to campus.[2](https://d23.com/a-to-z/extremely-goofy-movie-an-film/) At the College X Games competition, Max is the hot new talent until Goofy joins in and shows the students a different way to skateboard.[2](https://d23.com/a-to-z/extremely-goofy-movie-an-film/) As Goofy tries to get closer to Max, both must learn how to live their own lives together.[3](https://movies.disney.com/an-extremely-goofy-movie)
The film spends as much time on Goofy as on Max, including his 1970s pop-culture obsession, a white polyester leisure suit and Afro included, and a budding romance with the disco-loving librarian Sylvia Marpole.[6](https://www.commonsensemedia.org/movie-reviews/an-extremely-goofy-movie) Max's roommates P.J. and Bobby return from the earlier film.[6](https://www.commonsensemedia.org/movie-reviews/an-extremely-goofy-movie)
### Place in the franchise
The film continues the story begun in the television series *Goof Troop* and its 1995 theatrical spin-off *A Goofy Movie*, following Max and his friends from high school into their freshman year of college.[1](https://disneysgooftroop.fandom.com/wiki/An_Extremely_Goofy_Movie) It is also known by the alternate title *An X-tremely Goofy Movie*.[1](https://disneysgooftroop.fandom.com/wiki/An_Extremely_Goofy_Movie) The film is available on Disney+ and on Blu-ray, DVD, and digital.[3](https://movies.disney.com/an-extremely-goofy-movie)
## Production and context
The film was made by Walt Disney Television Animation.[7](https://3863-21905.el-alt.com/iad_entries/entry?shortID=25133) Between the release of *A Goofy Movie* and this sequel, Disney purchased ABC, which owned the sports channel ESPN, and the [X Games](https://www.edgepedia.org/x-games) were at the height of their popularity in the late 1990s; the College X Games subplot gave the studio a way to feature its new sports property.[8](https://midwestfilmjournal.com/2021/08/24/diney-an-extremely-goofy-movie/) The voice cast relied on established Disney company performers such as [Bill Farmer](https://www.edgepedia.org/bill-farmer), Jason Marsden, Rob Paulsen, and [Jim Cummings](https://www.edgepedia.org/jim-cummings) rather than A-list celebrity talent.[8](https://midwestfilmjournal.com/2021/08/24/diney-an-extremely-goofy-movie/)
During the end credits, the characters take turns dancing to "Right Back Where We Started From" by [Cleopatra](https://www.edgepedia.org/cleopatra), and P.J. can be seen singing along to the lyrics.[9](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0208185/)
## Broadcast edits
Following the September 11th attacks of 2001, [Disney Channel](https://www.edgepedia.org/disney-channel), Toon Disney, and later [Disney XD](https://www.edgepedia.org/disney-xd) removed the scene in which Max saves Tank from a fire; when aired on Disney's cable channels, the scene of Goofy searching for Max amid the burning wreckage of the giant "X" was cut.[9](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0208185/) • [7](https://3863-21905.el-alt.com/iad_entries/entry?shortID=25133)
## Reception
On Rotten Tomatoes the film holds a 63% Tomatometer based on 8 critic reviews and a 49% Popcornmeter score from more than 50,000 audience ratings; IMDb users give it 6.4 out of 10.[4](https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/extremely_goofy_movie) • [5](https://www.justwatch.com/us/movie/an-extremely-goofy-movie) Critics were divided: Michael Dequina of TheMovieReport.com called it "definitely a cut above most straight-to-tape family fodder," while Emanuel Levy and Philip Martin each rated it 2 out of 5.[4](https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/extremely_goofy_movie) Common Sense Media's review noted that the story carries messages about fair play and not quitting, but that the film depicts college as a nonstop party and lacks the unique charm and memorable songs of its predecessor.[6](https://www.commonsensemedia.org/movie-reviews/an-extremely-goofy-movie) Reviewers have also remarked that the animation is simpler and less polished than Disney's theatrical films, while pointing to stylish touches such as a psychedelic dream sequence in the style of *Yellow Submarine* and a school dance that Goofy turns into a disco inferno.[6](https://www.commonsensemedia.org/movie-reviews/an-extremely-goofy-movie)
