i first saw this film on the disney channel circa 1993. i be about 7 year old at the time and i remember it be right after disney channel have air barcelona 92 represent 16 day of glory and meaning i have olympics on the brain when i first saw it and a bit of a bias . i be enthral by it at first and the whole film have a kind of surreal and mesmerize quality to it and the music be great as well . of course i have no idea who billy crystal and gilda radner and harry shearer and michael fremer and graham gouldman be . after see the film several year later and i think it have it flaw and and some dialogue and scene be questionable to say the least for young viewer . all of the spoof on the old tv personality like howard cosell and keith jackson and pele and jackie stewart and barbera walter be rather funny . this film basically take the same approach a animaniacs and make the humor appeal to kid and while at the same time add an element of satire and to appeal to the old generation . while this film be by no mean a stroke of genius and it have it many flaw ( compound by the fact that it be never theatrically release because of the u. s. boycott of the moscow game in 1980 ) and it be definitely worth a look .
