Such a frustrating disappointment

There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

YET ANOTHER ENTRY in those multi-Goofy how to and sports specials. In this case, it takes on Ice Hockey (Or just "Hockey", as we'd say on the Southside of Chicago). It's manic pace and generously supplied abundance of finely tuned and tailored hockey gags surely must have been a welcome hiatus from the most serious and grim daily War news that had occupied the transcendental over-soul of the World for the previous half decade or so.THE STORY MAKES fine exploitation of every it. The stadium, the rabidly enthusiastic fans, the names of the teams, the official and the break-neck speed of the action all contribute to the fun.IN ONE SENSE, this film must have been both a pleasure to do and also somewhat easier than some others. After all, at its core is lampooning a particular esoteric and highly specialized sector of the Sports World in Hockey and its fans.THE CARTOON ALSO acts as a sort of barometer of the times in illustrating behaviour and practices that were in vogue then, being the mid 1940's of World War II and shortly thereafter. It was a time when the public was just a trifle more formal than now. Our case in point is illustrated so beautifully in the costuming of the spectators portrayed. Simply stated, folks dressed up then. It was suits, ties, nice dresses for the ladies; as opposed to blue jeans & tee shirts of today.BUT THEN AGAIN, on the other hand, we have the game itself. That never does change.

Getting caught by surprise with Disney's wonderful Western spoof Goofy short Californy er Bust,I quickly decided to get out of the saddle,and join Goofy for a deadly round of hockey.The plot:Playing in a packed out stadium,hockey teams the Loose Leafs and the Ant Eaters get ready to play the game of their lives in the championship final.As the game reaches the half way point,the over excited crowd reveal that they are not going to allow the 2 teams to be the only people on the pitch,for what may be the most violent hockey game of all time.View on the film:For the animation in the movie,director Jack Kinney disappointingly relies to much on clearly reusing animation from Goofy's past short titles,which leads to the stylish "fresh" animation being snowed in by Kinney's recycled footage.Thankfully giving the film the burst of life that it richly deserves,Doodles Weaver delivers an electric performance as the movie's narrator,with Weaver making Bill Berg and Dick Kinney's screenplay move at an amazing pace,and also giving the film's ending a real shot of lightning.

This could possibly be the greatest cartoon ever made. The usual slapstick comedy found in Goofy cartoons is here combined with the talent of Doodles Weaver as the commentator of this insane hockey nightmare. Like many of Goofy's other outings this cartoon has some great ideas, but this time there is a quiet note of genius in them. You won't have laughed so much at a cartoon since you were a child

This is a hilarious Goofy sports short focusing on one wild hockey game. It moves very quickly, animation fans will want to back up and watch several sequences again. The visual gags are among the best Disney has done. Doodles Weaver, famous from Spike Jones and his City Slickers, plays the role of the play by play announcer perfectly. Watch this along with the great Donald Duck hockey short "The Hockey Champ."
