Double Dribble is a 1946Disney theatrical cartoon short that spoofs the sport ofbasketball and starsGoofy. It is directed byJack Hannah.[1]
A series of characters of the same species as Goofy are playing a game ofcollege 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.'sown basket).
The game ends with the lone fan in the stands, presumably Goofy himself, singing the P.U.alma mater.
When the series wasedited for television, this character was voiced byJeff Bennett with a very different voice, more closely resembling the voice of Mr. Smee from Disney adaptations ofPeter Pan.
As an inside joke, the players are named for members of Disney's staff:Kinney,Lounsbery,Hannah and Sibley.[2]
The Basketball court shown in the short doesn't featurethree point line as it wasn't introduced in the professional game until 1960s.
The short was released on December 2, 2002, onWalt Disney Treasures: The Complete Goofy.[3]
