Sport Goofy in Soccermania/Production

==Production==
This cartoon marks the first time that Russi Taylor voiced Huey, Dewey, and Louie, as well as the first time that the Beagle Boys and Gyro Gearloose, Little Helper and the Money Bin ever appeared in animation. It was also the first time Scrooge was seen swimming in his money in an animated cartoon, a famously iconic aspect of the character since his earliest comic book appearances.
Joe Ranft and Tad Stones wrote the story. Ranft later went on to work for Pixar while Stones would continue to work with Walt Disney Television Animation, turning the pairing of Scrooge McDuck and Donald's nephews into the TV series DuckTales.
Sport Goofy is one of the few Disney cartoons where Uncle Scrooge was not voiced by his official voice actor Alan Young, but instead was voiced by Will Ryan.
This was Darrell Van Citters' last production with Disney. He would eventually move over to Warner Bros. for a couple of years before forming his own animation company, Renegade Animation.
=== Deleted Scenes ===

For unknown reasons, a number of scenes were cut from the broadcasted and theatrical versions of the film. One such scene, of which an animation cell is available, showed a Beagle Boy in drag attempting to kidnap Goofy, and another featured Gladstone Gander in a speaking role (where he was voiced by Will Ryanhttp://www.cartoonresearch.com/comments.htmlhttp://dafradio.net/2016/05/29/daf-radio-episode-18-interview-with-will-ryan-w-katie-leigh/). The Gladstone scene was featured along with Grandma Duck and Gyro Gearloose; like the others, he is talking to himself remarking how a tightwad like Scrooge has become so generous all of the sudden.
