Touchdown Mickey

This seemed like an appropriate Disney short to watch on Superbowl weekend (for Superbowl LVIII, Chiefs vs 49ers). Mickey takes on the role as football hero. This short film features all of the cartoonized football violence that you would expect--flattened players, having 24 players stacked on top of one, bodies bending in ways that would cause horrific medical situations, getting turned around and running to the wrong endzone. It wouldn't be a sports cartoon short without those. It did not feature crowd shots of Taylor Swift or a 60-minute halftime show featuring Usher. Since this is a football short cartoon, I might as well make my Superbowl prediction here (even though the Venn Diagram of Letterboxd users and hardcore sports fans is only a slight overlap.) I'm saying Chiefs 34, 49ers 31
