Football (Now and Then) (1953)

Directed by Jack Kinney

Animation | Sports | Short

Overview

An old-timer tells his grandson that old-time football players could take a modern team, so we see a game with just that match-up: Bygone U. vs. Present State. More specifically, the Bygone U. team of 11 vs. Present State’s dozens of special squads and support personnel. Even the stadium, fans, and press are modern vs. old-time. The game is close, and fiercely fought.

Viewing Notes

Sunday morning cartoon: Sunday football isn’t here yet but this is a little primer. Kinda fun concept of pitting the old versus new, like a video game a la 1960 Packers vs 2023 Chiefs.

Caught wind of this one bc it was stated this has the same character model as Tinkerbell and this was what she’d sound like. That’s a stretch and a half. Maybe same design but here she’s supposed to sound like a phone operator. I’m sure Tinkerbell wouldn’t sound like that.
