Review(s): DVD Classic Cartoon Favorites - Extreme Sports Fun
Great entertainment
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.
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
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 next years Disney Treasures "Disney Rarities" and "The Chronological Donald volume 2" who needs these DVDs, so i sugesst to wait folr the Treasures to come out.

The mischievous chipmunks Chip and Dale began as the unnamed rodent-pests in "Private Pluto" (1943); they acquired names in their third film, "Chip an' Dale" (1947). Although the duo became a mainstay of the Disney shorts during the late '40s and '50s, primarily as adversaries for Donald Duck, the characters never quite gelled. Their appearance and the pitch and comprehensibility of their voices change noticeably from film to film. Chip (the smarter one with the smaller nose) and Dale (the dim one with the larger nose and, often, buck teeth) are at their best when they're trying to protect their home and acorns from Donald ("Chip an' Dale," "Out on a Limb") or Pluto ("Food for Feudin'"). They're less appealing when they become aggressors ("Three for Breakfast"). The other three entries in...

Goofy is hilarious. when I used to to watch him alot as a kid on Disney I couldn't help but laugh at his type of antics for humor. it was so stupid it was funny. he really touches kids too . even in his short cartoons. I would recommend everyone give Goofy a chance. young or old. you're never too young or too old for cartoons. enjoy what you will

I gave this to my 3 year old today and she turned it off herself by the middle of the second cartoon. She was disturbed by the first cartoon that had Donald Duck trying to beat up a baby seal, I have to say it made me a little uncomfortable because we are trying to teach her that hitting is wrong.
But the second cartoon, where the bugs in Mickey's garden grow and try to eat Mickey and Pluto is where my daughter started to cry and ran over to the TV and turned it off.
It might just be my child, because we are usually very careful and watch her videos before she does so she isn't exposed to any overly violent content. But I broke our rule with this one because...hey, it's Mickey Mouse.
Personally, my husband and I had a blast watching it by ourselves.... More Info about this DVD DVD Release Date: Released the 11 January 2005 Usually ships in 24 hours

I have a two year old girl and this dvd is just long enough for her to stay interested, but not too long to bore her. Being 8 cartoons - it's not the biggest set out there, and I'll probably buy the big set as soon as I finish this comment, but It's good for a little one if you're not wanting to spend $30 on a big set. Now that I know there's a bigger set out there, and I'm a Duck fan, I'll get it. This is a good dvd to put on before dinner to keep her occupied - and, by the time dinner's ready, she's settled down and ready to eat.

I've been a bit tough on some of these recent Disney collections due to the fact that all or most of the shorts were already appearing on the Disney Treasures sets and so getting those were a much better value. But in this case, only three of these are on those Treasures sets and each is on a different one so it makes this a definite one to pick up. Certaintly they will eventually be on the Treasures editions but until then I would recommend this set. Be advised that even though it says holiday celebration not all of these shorts really have a holiday theme. Some are simply shorts that take place in the winter.
