[edit] Story
The father-son duo, Goofy and Max, are back in an all-new movie to the sequel, A Goofy Movie. It's a big time in Max's life. He's college bound with his friends and finally free of his embarrassing father as he strives to be a top contender for the X-Games. Unfortunately, Goofy loses his job and learns that he cannot get another job without a college degree. To his son's mortification, Goofy decides to join him in his campus to get that degree. Desperate to distract his father, Max talks him into joining the competing "Gamma Mu Mu" Fraternity team and introduces him to a wonderful librarian who shares his nostalgic love for 1970's pastimes. Unfortunately, things do not go according to plan as events put this father-son relationship to the test.
[edit] Characters
Goofy: The classic Disney character who always means well despite his accident prone, clumsy nature. Max, his son, is Goofy's pride and joy. But now that Max is out on his own Goofy must deal with a bit of a conflict. Goofy misses his son terribly, something which costs Goofy his current job. However, Goofy knows he has to move on and live his own life again once more and in order to do this, he must finish college and finally claim his degree; presumably delayed because he quit college to raise Max. Can Goofy finally let go and pick up where he left off again? Perhaps a new flame in his life will help..
Max: Late teens. Though still rebellious and embarrassed of his father's babying. Now into "extreme" skateboarding and nearing college, Max is finally feeling his long awaited freedom, or so he thinks. Max is unrivaled in his skateboarding skill and catches the eyes of everyone who watches him. In addition, the film makes it clear that he takes his studies seriously as well, given his fully attentive and diligent note taking in the lecture hall scene. Max seems like he's going to fit right in at college until he gets an unexpected surprise. Team 99 member.
Pete Junior:Late teens. Max's chubby longtime best friend and [former] next door neighbor, whose heart is as big as he is large. Same as Max, he's into extreme sports. Despite his size, he's quite skilled at various physical activities such as rollerblading. Although quiet and shy up to this point, now that he's finally away from his overbearing father Pete, perhaps PJ has a few surprises in store for everyone as he opens up more finally. Team 99 member.
Bobby Zimmeruski: Late teens. Bobby, shown in the previous Goofy movie, is a high school buddy of PJ and Max. Despite his usually weird antics, his passion and skills for sports seem to make up for it. His mannerisms, and the way he speaks, are a lot similar to that of the weasel persona used by Pauly Shore in some of his comedy performances. Shore also voiced him in both films. In a later scene in the movie, he looks at his hands and asks "D'ja ever wonder why we, like, always wear gloves?" Team 99 member.
Silvia Marpole: State College's seemingly "quiet" head librarian, it's discovered that she habors a love for the 1970s, disco for starters. Upon first meeting Goofy and discussing things of the 70s, she quickly becomes interested in him, even stating he's "pretty groovy". Interestingly, the character's red hair and dogface design bear a resemblance to the 1950s-era Goofy's son, "Junior", perhaps intentionally.
Beret Girl: Name is unknown, but she is a college student, who is seen a lot at the Campus cafe, the "Bean Scene". Max, PJ, and Bobby all show interest in her, but when PJ shows his long repressed intellectual side to the shock of everyone, Beret Girl becomes very interested in PJ and the two begin to hang out with each other from then on as possible lovers.
[edit] The Gammas
Bradley Uppercrust III: Late teens. The antagonist of the story, he is the infamous and stuck-up leader of the "Gamma Mu Mu" fraternity and College X Games King. Though at first admiring Max's skills, he offers to accept Max into the Gammas, however he is turned down flat, and begins to see Max as a threat to "his" winning streak. Using Goofy as a puppet in his in master plan, he hopes to prove a point that no one "messes with the Gammas."
Tank: Late teens. Bradley's bulky right-hand man and Gamma brother; usually backs Bradley, with sarcasm and his huge size. Though he can be found moderate, he however pledges full loyalty to the Gammas, until Bradley abandons him. Only then does he take a stand, becoming so furious at how willing Bradley was to risk his (Tank's) life just to win the X-games, he throws his "brother" into the X-games blimp.
Billy Zimmeruski: Younger then Bobby who seems to be more smarter. He wants to run away from home so he doesn't see Bobby a lot. In the previous movie A Goofy Movie when Bobby squirts Cheese Spray in his mouth Billy says That is the second most grossest thing I saw Bobby do. He never wants people to know that he's related to Bobby.
[edit] Edited
When this film aired on Disney Channel, the scene where Max and Goofy are saving Tank from the burning "X" logo that fell has been cut out for an unknown reason - it just shows Tank, Max, and Goofy surviving with no explanation.
