HockeyHomicide | |
Hockey Homicide | comment |
Hockey Homicide is a 1945 Classic Disney Short directed by Jack Kinney, starring Goofy and narrated by Spike Jones stalwart Doodles Weaver. While it isn't formally part of the "How To" miniseries of Goofy cartoons, it (along with its sibling cartoons Double Dribble and Tennis Racquet) are often lumped in with them due to their similar focus on sports-themed slapstick.The short features two teams, the Moose and the Pelicans (or is it the Loose Leafs and the Anteaters?) playing a game of hockey that grows increasingly violent. This short is (in)famous for its utterly bizarre climax and is often regarded as one of the funniest Disney cartoons ever. | |

Hockey Homicide / int_1ba8eb64 | comment |
Visual Pun: A lot of the comedy is derived from the players repeatedly clubbing each other with their sticks - a literal case of Slapstick, if you will. | |

Aborted Arc | |
Hockey Homicide / int_23698fa8 | comment |
Aborted Arc: Played for Laughs. The narrator points out the heated rivalry between the team's respective star players, "Ice Box" Bertino and "Fearless" Ferguson, setting up the game as their final showdown. There never is a final showdown, as their violent bickering keeps getting them sent into the penalty box, preventing them from even taking part in the game. | |

Hockey Homicide / int_3d8b73cf | comment |
Trouser Space: Clean Game Kinney keeps his pucks in his right pant pocket. It's implausible enough at the start, where he's shown with about a dozen...and then a goalie accidentally hits him near the end, whereupon thousands of pucks erupt from his trousers. | |

Hockey Homicide / int_4856ac40 | comment |
Stock Footage: Two notable examples, both of which are Played for Laughs. For the Running Gag, Bertino and Ferguson's fighting, and them getting sent to the penalty box, is the exact same animation used four times. To add bizarreness to the already insane riot, clips from older Disney films are seen, including How to Play Football, How to Play Baseball, Victory Through Air Power and even Pinocchio. | |

Hated by All | |
Hockey Homicide / int_77aae115 | comment |
Hated by All: "Clean Game" Kinney seems to be pretty disliked, as when he is announced as tonight's referee, a loud boo can be heard from the audience. And during the game, all the players have no issue with slapping him around like a ragdoll while playing. | |

Gretzky Has the Ball | |
Hockey Homicide / int_78c9ebbf | comment |
Gretzky Has the Ball: Done intentionally to show how much the game has descended into chaos. This was also a trademark of Weaver's, most famously used in Spike Jones' interpretation of Rossini's "William Tell Overture", which starts out as a commentary on a horse race, but for some reason, ends up describing a prize fight. | |

Tuckerization: The narrator frequently calls out the surnames of the players, who are all named after various Disney artists and animators that worked on the short. Likewise the referee, "Clean Game" Kinney, is named for Jack Kinney, the short's director. | |
