How to Hook Up Your Home Theatre is a revival of the classic How to . . .theatrical shorts of the 1940's and 50's, in which Goofy comically struggles with a certain task while a voice-over narrator (in this instance, Corey Burton) offers sage advice. This time, the iconic cartoon character is trying to put together a home theatre system so he can watch The Big Game in the comfort of his own living room.
The Mouse House put some of its top animators to work on How to Hook Up Your Home Theatre, including Eric Goldberg, Andreas Deja and Mark Henn, under the supervision of Kevin Deters and Stevie Wermers-Skelton.
