Editorial Reviews

Get ready to cheer, sports fans, as Mickey and his friends team up to bring you the funniest and most entertaining sports moments in animated film! The laughs fly out of the park when Goofy attempts to demonstrate "How To Play Baseball" in the hit classic short that features everyone's favorite dog playing every position. Then Mickey heads out for a leisurely day on the links, but hilarity is par for the course when his faithful "Canine Caddy" Pluto battles a pesky gopher and does his best to clear the way for a hole in one. The fun never stops in this collection of eight wild and wacky sports stories the whole family will love. Over an hour of extreme fun includes: "Canine Caddy"; "How To Play Baseball"; "The Hockey Champ"; "Double Dribble"; "How To Play Football"; "Mickey’s Polo Team"; "Tennis Racquet"; and "Goofy Gymnastics."

5.0 out of 5 stars Bare bones releases good for a variety of reasons., May 16, 2005

This review is from: Classic Cartoon Favorites, Vol. 5 - Extreme Sports Fun (DVD)

I pretty much know the origin for these type of DVDs. We have the Walt Disney Treasures sets for hardcore animation fans. So these Classic Cartoon Favorites DVDs are for parents who want to keep the kids busy in front of the TV, and for those who want the very best of Disney's cartoons.

The Disney's Sports DVD contains eight cartoons, five of which are Goofy's best sport cartoons, especially "How To Play Baseball". Also it has my favorite Donald Duck cartoon "The Hockey Champ", where Donald battles a game of Hockey with his three nephews; "Canine Caddy", starring Mickey and Pluto in a game of Golf; and "Mickey's Polo Team", Mickey and the Gang plays Polo against a team of celebrites, a few of which are Charlie Chaplin and Laurel and Hardy.

Disney Sports fans will rejoice for this one. And although it's a bare bones release (meaning no extras), it's still great to buy for the above^ reasons.

Pure Disney fun. You can't go wrong on this one. If you like Disney characters and cartoons, you'll have a blast...It takes you back thirty years when you used to watch these short subjects on the Wonderful World of Disney on Sunday nights.

Boo to Disney. This is a missed oppertunity to give us what the rest of the world got: Soccarmania and its related cartoons. Instead we just get a very short re-hash of cartoons already on DVD:

"CANINE CADDY" (1941) - already on "The Complete Pluto volume 1";

"HOW TO PLAY BASEBALL" (1942) - already on "The Complete Goofy";

"THE HOCKEY CHAMP" (1939) - already on "The Chronological Donald volume 1";

"DOUBLE DRIBBLE" (1946) - already on "The Complete Goofy";

"HOW TO PLAY FOOTBALL" (1944) - already on "The Complete Goofy";

"MICKEY'S POLO TEAM" (1936) - already on "Mickey Mouse in Color volume 1";

"TENNIS RACQUET" (1949) - already on "The Complete Goofy";

"GOOFY GYMNASTICS" (1949) - already on "The Complete Goofy".
