Walt Disney Classic Cartoon Favorites

Mickey's Polo Team (5x6)

Ausstrahlung: Jan 04, 1936

This, the oldest and most dated short on the disc, may also be the most fun-spirited. It's the Movie Stars vs. the Mickey Mousers in a game of polo, with Jack Holt as referee. There are early renditions of Disney's first cartoon stars including Mickey, Donald, the Three Little Pigs, and the Big Bad Wolf, plus caricatures of a number of '30s silver screen icons including Laurel and Hardy, Charlie Chaplin, Shirley Temple, and Clark Gable (whose oversized ears flitter for Clarabelle Cow). As much fun comes from recognizing the celebrities as it does from the "plot" which mostly consists of fast-paced back-and-forth in this gag-filled cartoon.
