Double Dribble is a 1946 Disney theatrical cartoon short that spoofs the sport of basketball and stars Goofy. It is directed by Jack Hannah.[1]
Plot
[edit ]A series of characters of the same species as Goofy are playing a game of college basketball, with one team representing "U.U." and the other representing the hopelessly outmatched and undersized "P.U." The short primarily focuses on a wide gamut of physically impossible and illegal stunts taken by each team. In the end, P.U. wins the match on a last-second shot that sends a P.U. player through the basket (although it appears to be P.U.'s own basket).
The game ends with the lone fan in the stands, presumably Goofy himself, singing the P.U. alma mater .
When the series was edited for television, this character was voiced by Jeff Bennett with a very different voice, more closely resembling the voice of Mr. Smee from Disney adaptations of Peter Pan .
Production
[edit ]As an inside joke, the players are named for members of Disney's staff: Kinney, Lounsbery, Hannah and Sibley.[2]
Trivia
[edit ]The Basketball court shown in the short doesn't feature three point line as it wasn't introduced in the professional game until 1960s.
Voice cast
[edit ]- Goofy: Pinto Colvig
