Missed opportunity for Soccermania. All just re-releases........2007-04-14

Boo to Disney. This is a missed oppertunity to give us what the rest of the world got: Soccarmania and its related cartoons. Instead we just get a very short re-hash of cartoons already on DVD:

"HOW TO PLAY BASEBALL" (1942) - already on "The Complete Goofy";

"THE HOCKEY CHAMP" (1939) - already on "The Chronological Donald volume 1";

"DOUBLE DRIBBLE" (1946) - already on "The Complete Goofy";

"HOW TO PLAY FOOTBALL" (1944) - already on "The Complete Goofy";

"MICKEY'S POLO TEAM" (1936) - already on "Mickey Mouse in Color volume 1";

"TENNIS RACQUET" (1949) - already on "The Complete Goofy";

"GOOFY GYMNASTICS" (1949) - already on "The Complete Goofy".

This dvd was released everywhere in the world with the rare tv special "sports goofy in soccormania".

A 30 min special. It was removed from the american release.

Why they did this is unknown.

The dvd lost 30 min and we lost a rare cartoon the rest of the world gets but not america!

Thanks alot disney.

Great entertainment.......2005-07-29

Pure Disney fun. You can't go wrong on this one. If you like Disney characters and cartoons, you'll have a blast...It takes you back thirty years when you used to watch these short subjects on the Wonderful World of Disney on Sunday nights.

Bare bones releases good for a variety of reasons........2005-05-16

I pretty much know the origin for these type of DVDs. We have the Walt Disney Treasures sets for hardcore animation fans. So these Classic Cartoon Favorites DVDs are for parents who want to keep the kids busy in front of the TV, and for those who want the very best of Disney's cartoons.

The Disney's Sports DVD contains eight cartoons, five of which are Goofy's best sport cartoons, especially "How To Play Baseball". Also it has my favorite Donald Duck cartoon "The Hockey Champ", where Donald battles a game of Hockey with his three nephews; "Canine Caddy", starring Mickey and Pluto in a game of Golf; and "Mickey's Polo Team", Mickey and the Gang plays Polo against a team of celebrites, a few of which are Charlie Chaplin and Laurel and Hardy.

Disney Sports fans will rejoice for this one. And although it's a bare bones release (meaning no extras), it's still great to buy for the above^ reasons.

No "Socermania" instead too many repeats.......2005-03-07

I was hoping that "Socermania" would be on the "Extreme Sports Fun" DVD but NO! Instead disney had to put on all of the same cartoons that were released on the "Disney Treasures" this also goes for the other two DVD's Extreme Music and adventure fun, allthough 'Pluto's Blue Note', 'Donald's Dilemma' 'No Sail' 'Old Sequoia' and 'Trailer Horn' are on DVD for the first time but with the new Disney Treasures "Disney Rarities" and "The Chronological Donald volume 2"(which might I add could use a lot of improvment on the restoration) who needs these DVDs, so I suggest not to buy these cheap DVD's and buy the Treasures in spite of the bad restoration.
