They treated it like any other game as the narrator said. They probably didn't care if they won or lost. They probably played just because it was fun. The overconfidence was more of their father's deal.
@@taliesin159 Well they are still in their prime. The father was presumably hot stuff back when he was in his prime, until he lost that game at the beginning of the cartoon.
When I was young, I played a lot of basketball, and was hoping someday I would teach my son how to play. Then I had two girls and no boys, so I thought basketball with my kids was not going to happen. Until one day my younger daughter asked me to teach her. It turned out she is far more talented in basketball than I ever was. Skills that took me years to learn she was able to master in a week. Everytime I watch her play I feel like Casey.
@@kapi3590 I don't sad it's bad to have girl except Boy, I would like to have and boys and girls, I ask him , because I think that two children is not enough?
When I was in middle school chorus, we sang this song from the Great Depression that was like “if life gives you lemons, make lemonade.” One of the lines was lit”if you have nine sons in a row, baseball teams make money you know!” Keep Your Sunny Side Up was the name of the song. We sang it once, then did it again with kazoos, which the teacher sent us home with much to the JOY of our parents lol
I like this story. He was able to get over his own prejudice to realize that his girls had talent. He supported them and in turn, they paid it back by helping him relive his glory days.
What prejudice? He just wanted baseball players and didn't know women's baseball teams were a thing. They weren't that common back then. Edit: this story is from around 1918 or earlier if I recall correctly.
@@sonniepronounceds-au-ni9287 Sexism isn't about good or bad people. It's about an unfair system that society follows. He was first wrapped up in societal expectations based on sex. Casey always was a good person but he fell into the trap of believing girls can't play baseball. Once he was showed otherwise, he made his girls a baseball team. He progressed as a person. Just because someone had a negative trait or made a mistake doesn't mean they are bad people. He was just by definition sexist. But I'm not going to whine about him being terrible either. He's just nuanced.
@@triciawhite8706 Dude, it was 1918. Expecting there not to be any sort of established baseball teams already for women back then is by no means sexist on his part just an assumption based on the general trends of the day. What good would forming a baseball team with only his girls do if there wasn't already other teams of girls willing and able to compete against them? He knows they wouldn't be allowed to complete against the boy teams as it was against the rules. It's completely rational that he jumped to the assumption he did. That doesn't make him sexist. He didn't doubt for a second that they would make a great team once he found out there were other girls' teams and an organization set up for it. In real life, there wasn't any professional women's baseball teams until the 40s. There were rarely any neighborhood teams for girls. The fact he even considered to let his daughters do "ungirly" things like play baseball without criticism let alone go all out in encouraging it is unusual for the time period.
Exactly. It was 1918. This was unheard of and because of societal prejudice, he didn't think girls could play the game professionally. I'm not even saying it is a bad story. It's a good one that deals a positive message for second wave feminism written in a time when first wave was still underway. Why are you so defensive over a positive review. Acknowledging sexism exists isn't a bad thing. I'm not even hanging h im for it. I just said that he got over it.
people can complain how sexist this cartoon is, but they've missing out how Casy's daughters are natural Baseball players and STILL are into girlish things (make up, flirting, etc)
Jaume Pepe ...... how about this: men can complain about how feminists will miss how the girls are good at baseball and still enjoy traditionally feminine things, and still miss the point of how the girls were worthless until the dad could profit off of them. This isn't about 'can girls do X'. Girls always could do anything they put their mind to, it's how they're treated for existing that is the problem.
Dexterdamonkey The sense of victimhood is what makes a woman worthless, which is why only femenist can marry themselves. You can not blame a man for being a man. Only in fairy tales would a woman be equal to a man and achieve "whatever she sets her mind on"
The fact the father is trying to profit is mostly his fault, he nearly throws the whole game because he doubted his daughters. if anything this should be a perfect example of a 1950's cartoon supporting woman's equality. Most of the problems are more of the father's fault and not the girls and the short was not afraid to show that.
Went to see my old favorite teacher a few years after I graduated. He had a family picture on his desk, he had like 6 daughters. Asked if he ever wished he had a son and he just said no, he was just happy they were all healthy.
@@monkey6207 why not? It's not offensive. I didn't even suggest having a boy was in any way better than having a girl. 6 kids is a lot, it's not unusual to think if someone had that many kids there's a chance they would have wanted both.
More an issue of spite. If Casey somehow can keep a roof and provide for his wife and NINE daughters, he's got to be making some BANK. Especially that he apparently can own or lease even the dilapidated "Mudville Nine" ballpark and, when his girls baseball team takes off, rehabilitate it. The doctor simply performed his services, probably because he knew that the retired slugger was a cantankerous SOB, out of pity for Mrs. Casey, but the short shows he was shocked to be paid in full.
@@catcat63527 I think it's not about hate, but about losing his dream of a son sharing his profession and passion. He got truly excited when realized girls could do it too. And got afraid they would lose their first big game and lose interest and quit baseball. In reality, he was an overprotective father.
@@catcat63527 He didn’t hate them, he just had a strong desire to have a son whom he could play baseball with it. It wasn’t until he realized how talented all his daughters were that he changed his stance, and at the end he gets his comeuppance, so the lesson was that talent can appear regardless of gender.
S lol my dad’s family only has 1 girl every generation so when my dad found out my mom was pregnant and she said she had a feeling I was a girl he told her she was nuts but a couple of months later when my mom found out I was gonna be a girl my dad didn’t know how to feel.

@@TheMrPeteChannelThat seems to be a common thing in Disney cartoons --- the daughters look like younger versions of the mother and the sons look like younger versions of the father.
So many of the Disney cartoons portrayed morality and life lessons in a form that could be understood by the young. I can think of many that had real and powerful messages. Decades in advance of anything available today. This clip predated the women's lib movement but epitomised what it needed to be about.
I wouldn't say Casey is a villain (I highly doubt they painted him as such in either the adaptation or the original poem), but I'm surprised people keep saying "Disney never made sequels in his time"; they should watch this and try saying that again.
@robbiewalker2831 Yeah but he never liked sequels. He famously ranted, "Why the hell did we ever think it was a good idea to make sequels to the 3 little pigs?" Paraphrased, of course. :)
As long as she and her sisters always remember there is a very fine line between confidence tempered by humbleness and overconfidence untempered by anything.
This is a cartoon about a sexist man who realized that he was in the wrong for thinking that way. It's also about him wanting to redeem himself for his past failure and his daughters helping him to do that, even if they really did it for him.
I dunno about that, the narrator said 'he talked to his wife' so it sounds like he was angry she would not give him a son until his friends told him he had a whole team and then he started talking to her again.
@@velvety2006when they said that, you saw something different than talking... Also: having eight more children without talking to your wife is quite impressive
it hurts to see how many fathers don't have any faith in their daughters, even now. imagine growing up as one of casey's daughters, being a disappointment from birth, until he comes to his senses. a lot of girls didn't get the good ending.
@@katrinsorokatkat1597 I'm sorry you're dealing with that stuff, it ain't fair. Now, I don't know your whole situation, so forgive me if I'm wrong, but please don't take your anger out on your brother. It's not his fault that mom and grandparents ain't exactly supportive of ALL their prides and joys. It may be easier said than done, but family if more than blood. They're those who care for and love and listen unconditionally to you, who help you when you need it, truly need it, and if you elders can't see that, it's their loss. I support you and hope things get better. Have a good day/night to you. ❤😊❤😊❤
My father felt the same when he had 4 girls but he got over it and loves us very much. He was abusive to my mom when we were younger but never laid a hand on us. It would have been worse if we had a brother because my dad would have taken his anger out on him. Sometimes things happen this way for a reason. It made my dad less aggressive and I was a tomboy anyway and turned out to be my dad's favorite. (:
Just imagine if one of them had been a boy! #9 is a boy, and all of a sudden every single girl remains forever dismissed no matter their baseball talent, bc ol dad got his boy. The poor boy who gets 100% of his father's attention, pressure, expectations, and is forcibly molded into a mini version of his father
@@edwardgaines6561 Bro, the wife is barely seen throughout the clip, maintains a hot 8 figure after 9 kids, and is just expected to be mostly home the whole time? Yet all Casey cares about is having a son and/or having another baseball player in the fam.
Even if Casey did have at least one son, what exactly was he going to do next? There was no guarantee having a boy would actually carry on his baseball legacy.
True you are right. Not every child is going to be like their father or mother. But the fact that fathers like him are only blessed with daughters but not a son is enough to make me feel mad. Not that the daughters are not important. But fathers like him at least deserve a son as well so that fathers will know what it’s like to raise and spend time with their sons as long as they are a good parent and a good example to them.
@@christineking2855 You can’t say someone deserves a certain gender of child. You get what you get. Some people are just lucky to have the one and Casey was blessed with nine.
@@wannathrustshigoku-san3550 Big Deal. It's not the first time animation has had different hair colors for similar, or even the same, character, and it's a fun connection to imagine possible.
It’s certainly common way back then at least 3 to 4 gens ago in today’s developed countries. In some undeveloped and developing countries this still can hold true.
my grandpa was one of 12, people who didn't have protection or birth control plus religion was still strong on having as many kids as you can and preferably mostly sons
My grandmother on my mother's side had 10 kids. The 9th and 10th were fraternal twin girls. 5 boys 5 girls altogether. Edit: so yeah, I think she was going for a mixed gender ⚾ team!
I really love this cartoon not just because it is progressive, but it shows that family and marriage are not "the end". Life goes on and can still surprise you.
Nine children and all daughters? That's actually pretty bad luck for someone who just wanted _one_ boy. Fortunatly for him they were all wizards at baseball.
Theres a real guy in the world who had refused to bath or cut his hair for 40 years because he was told if he didnt he'd have a son, but he ended up with a seven daughters. (Although I dont know how he managed that with how terribly he must smell)
I missed these shows when they were on tv . No all we have are the teenage drama shows on the Disney Channel. Which is the reason why I dont watch the channel anymore. These type of cartoons where the good ones.
I love how they showed the girls in dresses and flowers. This is an idea I think people are getting their heads around, that girls can play sports just as well as boys and still be pretty and feminie.
@@TND12 Even in baseball, presumably NOT a "contact" sport (and don't get me started on how the game is getting "wimpified"), men simply have a physical advantage, due to typically greater upper body strength. The underhand pitching delivery mandated in softball is not allowed in baseball, one of the several differences. Female softballers typically "pitch" from their hips, which plays to their strength and balance. But in terms of typical overhand throwing and batting, let alone in anything that does involve physical contact, like a runner sliding into home, blocked by the catcher, females are at a HUGE disadvantage versus males. If a young woman ever breaks into the professional ranks, it'll likely be as a pitcher, and a "junkballer" at that. Since the DH is now universal, her batting ability would be moot. However, I'll wager that women players, taught to BUNT, might actually be BETTER at it, as their ability to focus on a particular task is often better at a young age than men.
At least FIVE pregnancies after the "disappointment" of the firstborn (likely Patsy) being a GIRL...the Caseys had SOME form of "communication", obviously.
I remember watching this as a rerun when I was a kid. I never understood why his second kids were triplets but then when they showed all of them lined up the triplets were the third-oldest
@petey1214 I'm almost certain that this story, 'Casey Strikes Again' was not written by the original author of Casey at the bat. I'm sure this was totally Disney trying to profit off the popularity of the first cartoon by making up their own sequel.
Yet another ultimate classic short from Walt Disney's vault. I remembered watching this with Ludvig Van Duck the narrator, but it doesn't matter who narrates it, it's all good anyway.
Just google image search "Freddie Moore Girls" (there might be some nude life drawings mixed in the results, so heads up). I could tell he worked on this just by the thumbnail, his style is iconic.
Well technically it is the males gene that determine whether or not the offspring receives a "X" or a "Y" chromosome, but I get what your saying. I think blaming dad or the baby on the gender is quite stupid- as ultimately neither have control of that
(If anyone’s wondering how that is, eggs only contain the X chromosome, and sperm can contain either X or Y. Thus when combined, the resulting child is either XX for female, or XY for male)
@@sockruhtease I'd like to add an interesting, but random titbit: Not sure if it crocodiles or alligators or both. But they can control the gender of their offspring based on the temperature of the nest. I find this stuff pretty fascinating.
@@sockruhtease There were centuries/thousand of years of men blaming women for birthing the wrong sex of the baby, because science wasn't as advanced as is now. they were sexist nonetheless
this.. is literally now my favorite one, cause it shows that girls can do sports as well as the Jr. men, Casey was asking for it when he hoped for boys.. stop hoping darn it and be glad you got children!
well i think that part of the lesson he learned was to be proud and happy with what you have, after all lokk at how proud he was of his girls once he realised he really did have children to carry on his legacy after all

@@robbiewalker2831 i guess villain is the wrong word. One of the morals is to not be like Casey. Maybe arrogance is the villain.
@robbiewalker2831 Yeah but he never liked sequels. He famously ranted, "Why the hell did we ever think it was a good idea to make sequels to the 3 little pigs?" Paraphrased, of course. :)
@@SpiderandMosquito interesting. Never knew that.
The first one? There's more episodes?
The girl’s confidence runs in the family
As long as she and her sisters always remember there is a very fine line between confidence tempered by humbleness and overconfidence untempered by anything.
This is a cartoon about a sexist man who realized that he was in the wrong for thinking that way. It's also about him wanting to redeem himself for his past failure and his daughters helping him to do that, even if they really did it for him.
You don't speak like that in public, do you? I mean, where people can hear you, right?
MA CASTA Believe it or not but sexism was very common back then! :D
SleepyLeeks well, the OP is spouting out nonsense, I mean, instead of making the present day less sexist, they choose to whine about it in the web
Instrumentality1000 if he was a beta male, he would be against sexism....
@@demonking86420 It gets hard to fault them for that, seeing as to how people like Yourlocalbluntfriend here keep giving them ammunition.
Huh. Casey literally sired a league of their own.
😂
Yeah. No reserve roster here. Their nine daughters are the only roster.
That he You.
Good thing Casey didn’t blame his wife. Maybe he’s a little bit smarter than we’ve been led to believe…?
But he blame a doctor? So that isn't good too .
I dunno about that, the narrator said 'he talked to his wife' so it sounds like he was angry she would not give him a son until his friends told him he had a whole team and then he started talking to her again.
I don't think that statement should be taken seriously .
@@НиколаСтаменковић Of course it's the doctor's fault, he's the one that "assigned" their sex at birth.🤡
@@velvety2006when they said that, you saw something different than talking...
Also: having eight more children without talking to your wife is quite impressive
it hurts to see how many fathers don't have any faith in their daughters, even now. imagine growing up as one of casey's daughters, being a disappointment from birth, until he comes to his senses. a lot of girls didn't get the good ending.
This is my mom and grandparents. I am envy towards my brother so bad that sometimes I'm in inch to kill him or take everything he got.
@@katrinsorokatkat1597 I'm sorry you're dealing with that stuff, it ain't fair. Now, I don't know your whole situation, so forgive me if I'm wrong, but please don't take your anger out on your brother. It's not his fault that mom and grandparents ain't exactly supportive of ALL their prides and joys. It may be easier said than done, but family if more than blood. They're those who care for and love and listen unconditionally to you, who help you when you need it, truly need it, and if you elders can't see that, it's their loss. I support you and hope things get better. Have a good day/night to you. ❤😊❤😊❤
@@jasminebaker937 thank you
My father felt the same when he had 4 girls but he got over it and loves us very much. He was abusive to my mom when we were younger but never laid a hand on us. It would have been worse if we had a brother because my dad would have taken his anger out on him. Sometimes things happen this way for a reason. It made my dad less aggressive and I was a tomboy anyway and turned out to be my dad's favorite. (:
Just imagine if one of them had been a boy! #9 is a boy, and all of a sudden every single girl remains forever dismissed no matter their baseball talent, bc ol dad got his boy. The poor boy who gets 100% of his father's attention, pressure, expectations, and is forcibly molded into a mini version of his father
Damn, the wife is underappreciated. She looks that great and loves her ungrateful husband after 9 kids?
Not too hard when you're a cartoon character.
Actually it was 6 births (she had multiples)
@@Kat-jv3gt I never claimed she had 9 births rather, 9 kids.
@@edwardgaines6561 Bro, the wife is barely seen throughout the clip, maintains a hot 8 figure after 9 kids, and is just expected to be mostly home the whole time? Yet all Casey cares about is having a son and/or having another baseball player in the fam.
@@edwardgaines6561 Also irl, having that many kids would be hell lol. Even if they are all girls.
All I have to say is that the man has good genes.
What you mean?
His wife has good genes! 9 kids and still a model
@@mazimadu Both have. :D
@michealdominic7788 What do you mean what I mean? All his kids have good looks.
They all got their mother’s looks and their father’s skill.
Probably got their mother’s humility as well
The biggest lesson from this is don't be so stuck up,if Casey would have hit those first tosses he might not have struck out .
True. Keep that swagger and keep your eyes on the baseball anyway because you never know when an errant gust of wind will just shift everything.
Even if Casey did have at least one son, what exactly was he going to do next? There was no guarantee having a boy would actually carry on his baseball legacy.
Welcome to the 50s.
True you are right. Not every child is going to be like their father or mother. But the fact that fathers like him are only blessed with daughters but not a son is enough to make me feel mad. Not that the daughters are not important. But fathers like him at least deserve a son as well so that fathers will know what it’s like to raise and spend time with their sons as long as they are a good parent and a good example to them.
@@christineking2855 You can’t say someone deserves a certain gender of child. You get what you get. Some people are just lucky to have the one and Casey was blessed with nine.
True, for all we know he would have become a doctor. Granted the son might have some regrets over never getting to play.
@@christineking2855seeing that some people don’t get any children at all I don’t think I’d complain imo
And when old Casey retired from the game he played so well.
The team honored him with a hotdog restaurant, boy was it swell.
He lost his game, but gained the best family and friends he could ask for.
One of Casey's daughters became the Casey girl we see in Pokemon: The Johto Journeys.
The difference is the hair color though.
@@wannathrustshigoku-san3550 Big Deal. It's not the first time animation has had different hair colors for similar, or even the same, character, and it's a fun connection to imagine possible.
It's hard enough to draw the human body. Even harder to animate well. Those guys were Artists
I never knew this existed. I was always so sad for Casey. It's wonderful to see there was a follow-up redemption for him
Very good job fellows!! Congratulations.
Remember Gary Owens. Casey's daughters are so cute and adorable! 💚
6:54 Casey invents helicopter parenting (1954, colorized)
I thought my parents were crazy to have 5 kids, I could only imagine having 9 kids
It’s certainly common way back then at least 3 to 4 gens ago in today’s developed countries. In some undeveloped and developing countries this still can hold true.
my grandpa was one of 12, people who didn't have protection or birth control plus religion was still strong on having as many kids as you can and preferably mostly sons
@@velvety2006yep my great great grandfather was a farmer and he had like 14 children.
My great grandmother had 11 pregnancies but nine kids.
My dad and uncles had so many uncles and Aunts
My grandmother on my mother's side had 10 kids. The 9th and 10th were fraternal twin girls. 5 boys 5 girls altogether.
Edit: so yeah, I think she was going for a mixed gender ⚾ team!
Saw this featurette as a child and I never forgot it. Thanks for the memory.
So adorable this short. Today's shows got nothing on these.
"Yipidoo - Doo -doo doo~ da Wander Over Yonder~"
You clearly been under a rock considering we are in a golden age of animation
@@kennydarkes2178 What do you mean? Just asking.
Sexism?? Why you want that back?
The Amazing world of gumball!
I really love this cartoon not just because it is progressive, but it shows that family and marriage are not "the end". Life goes on and can still surprise you.
The sequel that we never knew we needed.
it's always fun to see the classic line-art and techniques
like, the way casey moves, his facial expressions, it's just so fun to look at
Nine children and all daughters? That's actually pretty bad luck for someone who just wanted _one_ boy.
Fortunatly for him they were all wizards at baseball.
Theres a real guy in the world who had refused to bath or cut his hair for 40 years because he was told if he didnt he'd have a son, but he ended up with a seven daughters. (Although I dont know how he managed that with how terribly he must smell)
Lol my mom has 9 brothers and one sister, she had 3 older brothers, then 4 brothers later, she got a sister.
there's this one lad from England that killed of his wives and even founded a new religion because he couldn't get a boy
@@Sarah-kc3fb whats this, what should i look up to find out about it
@@laurencebetteridge8633 king henry, look him up
You know what, I actually think they should do a remake of this short. Maybe make it into a full-fledged movie for Pixar are to tackle
Yes. Yes. YES!!
OMG YES! That would be so cool!
I would love to see that happen.
Please! Dond't give them ideas!
Didn't you see what they did with a simple short of a bull who didn't want to fight in the arena?
@@BETMARKonTube Can you send me a link? Now I'm curious.
I'm glad he learned his lesson. Now he appreciates his wife and children and his legacy lives on.
Redeemed by his daughters, Casey is a winner again. He was blessed with 9 little angels 😀
So, in the the end, Casey got redemption, sort of.
Narrator..." sometimes life's misfortune's can be a blessing in disguise." Put this on repeat.
5:35- To quote Bugs Bunny, "WHAM! A homer!"
Mrs. Casey had triplets after the first daughter, but when they are lined up, there are twins after the oldest 3:49
And what is zero? Misbirth .
@@НиколаСтаменковић
More likely years without pregnancies. Poor Mrs. Casey needs a break!
@@dianadoraen7864 maybe the doctor took pity on her told him to give her break lol
I missed these shows when they were on tv . No all we have are the teenage drama shows on the Disney Channel. Which is the reason why I dont watch the channel anymore. These type of cartoons where the good ones.
Doctor was so shocked at being paid!! 🤣🤣🤣
I love how they showed the girls in dresses and flowers. This is an idea I think people are getting their heads around, that girls can play sports just as well as boys and still be pretty and feminie.
Yeah, now if a girl shows interest in traditionally male stuff,….in some ways we are more sexist than the 1950s.
Let me add a question to ur little post so if women can play as good as men why arent they competing against each other ?
Give the Caseys THIS...they raised their nine girls to be LADIES. Who were obviously natural athletes, but still LADIES.
@@TND12 Even in baseball, presumably NOT a "contact" sport (and don't get me started on how the game is getting "wimpified"), men simply have a physical advantage, due to typically greater upper body strength. The underhand pitching delivery mandated in softball is not allowed in baseball, one of the several differences. Female softballers typically "pitch" from their hips, which plays to their strength and balance. But in terms of typical overhand throwing and batting, let alone in anything that does involve physical contact, like a runner sliding into home, blocked by the catcher, females are at a HUGE disadvantage versus males.
If a young woman ever breaks into the professional ranks, it'll likely be as a pitcher, and a "junkballer" at that. Since the DH is now universal, her batting ability would be moot. However, I'll wager that women players, taught to BUNT, might actually be BETTER at it, as their ability to focus on a particular task is often better at a young age than men.
or not be pretty and feminine and still being ok
"he even paid the doctor and started speaking to his wife" Why did this make me burst out laughing?? XD
At least FIVE pregnancies after the "disappointment" of the firstborn (likely Patsy) being a GIRL...the Caseys had SOME form of "communication", obviously.
@@selfdo Along with that ever-present "Hope Spot" that maybe, just maybe this time Casey and his wife would have a son.
I'm so glad I found this again! My grandpa and I used to watch this all the time
To die knowing I had a wife and kids that beautiful is the best life to live.
Such an overlooked classic! Loved the art direction and beauty of these lovely ladies too! Such a great short!!!!
An untouchable classic
I remember watching this as a rerun when I was a kid. I never understood why his second kids were triplets but then when they showed all of them lined up the triplets were the third-oldest
They goofed up.
Also inconsistent with the line score of boys versus girls. Casey definitely "favored" a certain, *ahem*, "side", much to his chagrin.
those girls are showing a lot of skin for 1918.
This was made in the 1950's.
petey1214 well 1918 to be fair.
@petey1214 I'm almost certain that this story, 'Casey Strikes Again' was not written by the original author of Casey at the bat. I'm sure this was totally Disney trying to profit off the popularity of the first cartoon by making up their own sequel.
Watch the movie "A League of Their Own." Starting by Tom Hanks, Geena Davis, and Madonna. It will tell you the women baseball team. Enjoy!
Disney has tried to profit off basicly every fairytail' hit movie and franchise ever made
Loved watching how Casey changed as soon as he realized his daughters were awesome ball players himself. Good time. Good times.
"And was speaking to his wife"
Uh-huh, speaking.
Dang, I would’ve love to see this as a full fledged Disney move.
I wish the original author of the poem "Casey At the Bat" had penned the sequel poem for "Casey Bats Again".
Apparently this was the last cartoon to be animated by Fred Moore, one of the first famous disney animators from the 1930s.
It was my favourite.i am watching it after 20 years
3:50 What, did he really think the doctor magically changed the babies from boys to girls when they were born?
Yet another ultimate classic short from Walt Disney's vault. I remembered watching this with Ludvig Van Duck the narrator, but it doesn't matter who narrates it, it's all good anyway.
One of my favorite Disney cartoons. I still have this episode in PAL Betamax.
People say this is Casey redemption, not really if anything he showed how he didnt trust his girls and that he didnt learn anything
There’s actually another animated short before this one with him in it
Ok mr woke
@@CheeseMiser whats woke about my statement, all you did is show you dont know what woke means.
@@stuartspiker732 ok mr woke. Defending wokeness. If that's what you got out of this cartoon then you need to leave.
Anyone who unironically uses the word “woke” doesn’t know what the word means.
Disney actually showed a slap ass? 🤣🤣🤣
And she reciprocated!
My, times have changed
Most women like getting "slapped".
yeah
Can't blame him.
@@mazimadu No woman consented to that crap. Get that out of your head. They were forced to.
6:07 There was a version where that girl's shorts kept falling down! Anyone know where I could find that?
Girl or Boy, you're gonna love them.
until they choose to be a "they".
@jordans4827 Don't send your kids to school and keep them off tick tock.
I'm in love with the artsyle of the girls.
They are based on the "Gibson Girl"
Just google image search "Freddie Moore Girls" (there might be some nude life drawings mixed in the results, so heads up). I could tell he worked on this just by the thumbnail, his style is iconic.
Digging through a wooden fence would've given Casey a lot of splinters, if nothing else.
more like his fingers torn off as if a dog mauled them XD
love love love...still after all these years
Sad that this classic can't be found on Disney ➕️
One of my all time favorites!
Very good job fellows!! Congratulations.
The lesson of the story: When life gives you nine girls, make a girls baseball team.
2:19 *Mowgli crying sound effect😂😂😂*
I love how they still enjoy feminine activities while also enjoying baseball. =:)
This was so cute 🥺 I’m glad I got to see it ☺️
3:54 Oh Casey, you only got yourself to 'blame' since it's the men who are responsible for their offspring's gender XD
At 3:40, the film acknowledges this, with reference to Casey's ‘batting’.
Well technically it is the males gene that determine whether or not the offspring receives a "X" or a "Y" chromosome, but I get what your saying. I think blaming dad or the baby on the gender is quite stupid- as ultimately neither have control of that
(If anyone’s wondering how that is, eggs only contain the X chromosome, and sperm can contain either X or Y. Thus when combined, the resulting child is either XX for female, or XY for male)
@@sockruhtease I'd like to add an interesting, but random titbit: Not sure if it crocodiles or alligators or both. But they can control the gender of their offspring based on the temperature of the nest. I find this stuff pretty fascinating.
@@sockruhtease There were centuries/thousand of years of men blaming women for birthing the wrong sex of the baby, because science wasn't as advanced as is now. they were sexist nonetheless
Clever use of rainclouds in this one!
aaaaaaand then, their team got disqualified for cheating and banned from playing ever again.
.
The End
AMEN! Someone else noticed!
Those girls are adorable. Those great old animators were supremely skilled, & did some of their best work under uncle Walt , I swear to God.
I remember watching the original. Never saw this one before.
this.. is literally now my favorite one, cause it shows that girls can do sports as well as the Jr. men, Casey was asking for it when he hoped for boys.. stop hoping darn it and be glad you got children!
well i think that part of the lesson he learned was to be proud and happy with what you have, after all lokk at how proud he was of his girls once he realised he really did have children to carry on his legacy after all
Always loved this one! Can't go wrong with Casey and his girls
Those girls are adorable ❤
They sure knew how to draw girls back then.
Yep, just give them thin waists, and baby dot eyes. Simple as pie…..
11-year-old girls... 8/
yeah, with blue dots instead of eyes.
They're athletic. They should have slim waists/flat bellies.
Crazy how times have changed.
Theres lessons that can be learned from these old cartoons.
