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.
My favorite Goofy cartoon. I love hockey, but sometimes the absurdities of the game overwhelm the spurt.
Easily one of my personal favorite Disney animated shorts, the animation and timing that shows a chaotic and appropriately over the top hockey game is rushes out of the gate and doesn't let up until the very end. nearly every frame of Hockey Homicide has something humorous in it, from the raucous and overly excited crowds, players who are equal parts unstoppable inertia and unchecked rage, to the referee, Clean Game Kinney, suffering various forms of abuse as he impotently tries to maintain some level of order in an increasingly chaotic game.
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).
"Hockey Homicide" is an American English-language cartoon from 1945, so this one is already over 70 years old, which means it is from the last year of World War II. It was made by the Kinneys and Dick Berg and this as well as the inclusion of voice talent Pinto Colvig means that here we have another Disney cartoon and this one is among the many films starring Goofy elaborating on certain situations or sports.
A sports announcer, filling in for the narrator, tells the story or rather game in this case about Goofy and the Goofy-lookalikes playing an aggressive game of hockey. You get some classic Goofy moments here and there, and there's some really outrageous hockey plays and fights.
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.
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.
