User Reviews

Has wild energy all over it

The way the short is resolved may come across as a cliché, but the energy and gags, as well as the effective opening that sets up the short very nicely, more than make up for things. The animation itself is excellent, with well drawn characters, beautiful shades for the black and white and smooth background art, and the music has beautiful orchestration and lots of character in it as you would expect from Disney. It was interesting to see football played without leather helmets and pads and to see the defensive team full of Pete clones. In comparison along with Mickey, the Mickey Manglers team is somewhat mismatched with a goat, a daschound and a pig. The pace is fast-paced and always energetic, while the gags, a great many and most flying in from each frame, are just wonderful. The best being as Mickey runs down field, his pig teammate turns into a steamroller, flattening the Pete team one by one and when Mickey's team kicks off, Mickey as the holder of the ball gets kicked into the air as well, flying across the field. The characters are instantly lovable as well. All in all, great fun with wild energy and wonderful gags. 9/10 Bethany Cox
