Hockey Homicide

Hockey Homicide is a cartoon made by Walt [Disney Animation Studios|Walt Disney Productions] in 1945, featuring Goofy.

Plot

Narrator Doodles Weaver explains the rules of ice hockey in satirical format. The narration's emphasis on good sportsmanship is countered by the violence of the players. Team captains Ice Box Bertino and Fearless Ferguson are rivals who brutally fight each other and incur a penalty before the game can begin, sending both of them to the penalty box; subsequently, they are constantly released from the box only to be sent back to it as they cannot help but fight each other on the ice. Eventually, confusion over many extra hockey pucks after they whack the referee and make him drop all his pucks, leads the players and spectators to get into a massive brawl, during which snippets from other previous Disney cartoons are included to emphasize the mass confusion. Meanwhile, the Loose Leafs' and the Ant Eaters' team members have mingled together peacefully to rest and eat high in the stands, with the closing narration implying that they irritate each other's fans into fighting so the players themselves can watch instead.
