Director: Jack Hannah
Release Date: December 12, 1946
Stars: Goofy
Rating: ★★★★
In ‘Double Dribble’ we’re watching a basketball game between home team U.U. and visiting team P.U. (which has only one fan).
‘Double Dribble’ is Jack Hannah’s second Goofy cartoon, and it uses the same format as his first, ‘A Knight for a Day‘ (1946) with equally fast and funny results. There’s a sports game with a lively narrator, typical for the Goofy shorts of the forties, but there’s also one underdog-like character, whom we can follow throughout the picture, and to whom we can relate. In ‘A Knight for a Day’ it was Cedric, this time it’s a tiny Goofy, called Marathu, who makes the final and deciding score, turning the game in favor of ‘old P.U.’.
Like in ‘Hockey Homicide‘ (1945) the team members share names with Disney employees.
Watch ‘Double Dribble’ yourself and tell me what you think:
This is Goofy cartoon No. 19
