"Double Dribble" (maybe not the best title) is a Disney cartoon from 1946, so already over 70 years old and from briefly after WWII. This one runs for about 7 minutes, slightly over, as they usually do. If you take a look at who made this, you will find the names of many who were pretty prolific and successful for Disney back in the days and with that I am not only referring to Pinto Colvig. His name immediately makes clear that here we have another How-to cartoon starring Goofy and the focus is on basketball this time. I thought it was a very creative and entertaining little movie, still is in fact, and you could see that the writers really understood something about this sport on several occasions. The more random scenes like the trigger-happy referee add some nice comedy too. And the one fan in the audience for the winning time truly embodies the spirit of how it's all about the game and how you can thrive from loving your sport so passionately and dedicatedly and you don't need to be an active player for this love at all. So well done to all the Goofys you see in here. I highly recommend checking this one out and it is a definite contender for best short film from its year perhaps only defeated by Johnny and Alice, a true must-see for everybody who loves these many old cartoons.
