==Plot==
<!-- Per WP:FILMPLOT, plot summaries are 400 to 700 words. -->
After [[Max Goof]] goes to college with his friends P.J. and Bobby Zimuruski, [[Goofy]] falters at work due to his [[empty nest syndrome]], causing a massive explosion at the toy-assembly factory and resulting in him getting fired. At the unemployment office, Goofy, who dropped out of college years ago, is told that he needs a college degree to get another job. Max and his friends meet Bradley Uppercrust III, the leader of the Gamma Mu Mu fraternity and a veteran skateboarder. Bradley is impressed by Max's own skateboarding talent and invites him to join the Gamma team and take part in the college's [[X Games]]. Max declines the offer due to the condition that he cannot bring his friends along. Following a skirmish, the two parties place a bet in which the loser becomes the other group's towel boy. To Max's horror, Goofy begins attending the same college and interrupts the group's down-time with chores. Max plots to distract his father by introducing him to the college librarian, Sylvia Marpole, with whom he has much in common. Goofy accidentally impresses Bradley with his clumsy attempt at skateboarding and is invited to join the Gamma team, which he accepts upon Max's encouragement.

During the first qualifiers for the X Games, Bradley discreetly blinds Max with a pocket mirror during his performance and installs a rocket booster on Goofy's skateboard. Goofy beats Max, and Max's team barely makes the semi-finals. Eventually, Max lashes out at Goofy, telling him to stay out of his life, and storms off in anger. A depressed Goofy fails his first midterm exam and misses a date with Sylvia. Returning home, Goofy is motivated by his neighbor [[Pete (Disney)|Pete]] to regain his focus. He goes back to college and reconciles with Sylvia, who helps him ace the rest of his exams. As Goofy quits the Gamma team, he overhears the group plotting to cheat for the semi-finals, but Max, still angry with his father over beating him in the qualifiers, does not listen to his warnings.

At the semi-finals, all teams but Max's and the Gammas' are eliminated. Just before the final triathlon, Bradley eliminates P.J. from the games, leaving Max's team short one player and spurring Max to recruit and apologize to Goofy via jumbotron. Throughout the race, Bradley and his team attempt to hinder Max's team, but only manage to eliminate Bobby. Although Goofy temporarily knocks out Bradley with a horseshoe in the final section of the race, his final trick results in Max and Gamma member Tank getting trapped underneath a flaming collapsed X logo. As Bradley passes them by, Max and Goofy rescue Tank, who assists Max in winning the race. Afterwards, Bradley concedes his defeat. Max calls off the bet, but allows a vengeful Tank to slingshot Bradley into the X Games [[blimp]] overhead. During graduation day, Max gives Goofy his grand-prize trophy engraved with an affirmation of their bond, and Goofy, now hired to work at the college, drives away with Sylvia for their next date.

==Voice cast==
* [[Jason Marsden]] as Max Goof, Goofy's son, who desires a normal college life independent of his father. Bob Baxter and Steven Trenbirth served as the supervising animators for Max.

* [[Jeff Bennett (voice actor)|Jeff Bennett]] as Bradley "Brad" Uppercrust III, the arrogant leader of the Gamma Mu Mu fraternity. Kevin Peaty served as the supervising animator for Brad.

* [[Jim Cummings]] as [[Pete (Disney)|Pete]], P.J.'s father and Goofy's misanthropic next-door neighbor, who often antagonizes Goofy but sometimes helps him (especially when it benefits him in some way).
** Cummings also has uncredited roles as Goofy's supervisor at his toy factory job, a member of the Gammas who wears sunglasses, and both a professor and a tour guide at the college.
* [[Brad Garrett]] as Tank, the  immensely strong second-in-command of the Gammas.
* [[Vicki Lewis]] as the Beret Girl, a charismatic [[beatnik]] and suave stage performer in the college café called the "Bean Scene", who becomes P.J.'s love interest when the latter shows innate talent in poetry. Kevin Peaty served as the supervising animator for the Beret Girl.
*[[Bebe Neuwirth]] as Sylvia Marpole, the college [[librarian]] who immediately becomes Goofy's love interest when she is shown to share Goofy's love for American culture from the 1970s, when Goofy previously attended college. Andrew Collins served as the supervising animator for Sylvia.
* [[Rob Paulsen]] as [[Pete Junior|P.J.]], Pete's son and Max's best friend since childhood. Bob Baxter and Steven Trenbirth served as the supervising animators for P.J.

Petrana Radulovic of ''[[Polygon (website)|Polygon]]'', in 2019, ranked ''An Extremely Goofy Movie'' the sixth best Disney sequel, labeling it as "all delightfully bonkers" and claiming its best aspects to be the Beret Girl and Bobby's poke on Disney characters wearing gloves; she also, however, criticized some of its content as "stuck in a gnarly late-’90s vortex."<ref>{{cite web|last=Radulovic|first=Petrana|date=March 28, 2019|url=https://www.polygon.com/features/2019/3/28/18261900/best-disney-sequels-movies-animation|title=Every Disney direct-to-video sequel, prequel, and mid-quel, ranked|work=[[Polygon (website)|Polygon]]|access-date=February 6, 2021}}</ref>

==Censorship==
Following the [[September 11 attacks]] in 2001, the scene in which Goofy rescues Max and Tank from under the burning X Games logo structure was removed from television broadcasts of the film; the scene remains in all other versions of the movie, and the scene was still intact in the [[Disney+]] version, but the broadcast version skips this scene entirely to show them skating out of the wreckage.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Greenman|first=J.
