"Baseball Bugs" is an American cartoon from almost 70 years ago and tells us the basics about baseball in slightly over 7 minutes. Goofy explained some sports for Disney and Here Bugs does it for Warner Bros. Freleng, Maltese and of Course Blanc worked on really many films together back in the day and they knew exactly what they were doing. I myself do almost know nothing about baseball and yet I managed to enjoy this watch. if you have an interest in the sport, you will probably really love it. In any case, Bugs seems to be really good at the game as he beats the enemy team on his own. Babe Ruth would have been jealous. The enemy team, by the way, is named Gashouse Gorillas, which, in retrospective, is a really unlucky choice for a film that came out in the 1940s. Anyway, apart from baseball, this movie still has smart off-topic references, for example about about gangster movies ("follow that ball"), and some more interesting moments. My favorite funny moment was the Batboy scene. The ending could have been slightly better, but I guess they wanted to give it an American touch with the Statue of Liberty inclusion. Good watch. Recommended.
