History WesternAnimation / HowToHookUpYourHomeTheater

A throwback to ''WesternAnimation/ClassicDisneyShorts'' animation, as well as an experiment with "paperless animation", "How To Hook Up Your Home Theater" is a 2007 short starring WesternAnimation/{{Goofy}}, in a short that obviously draws much of its inspiration from Goofy's "How To" shorts of the [[UsefulNotes/TheGoldenAgeOfAnimation 40's and 50's.]] The short in question features Goofy trying to acquire a big TV and all other components as the narrator provides commentary on how it's all done - all while lampooning just how many accessories and commercial items are available for the taking as far as TV goes.

** The two football teams are called the Dawgs and the Geefs, both references to two of Goofy's [[IHaveManyNames pseudonyms]] over the years, Dippy Dawg (his early incarnation) and George Geef (his "everyman" name from his 1950s cartoons).
