It’s not exactly a place secret that the “Disney Treasures” DVDs have been substantial money-makers for the company. So how do you squeeze a miniature extra cash out of a cash cow? Why, inaugurate throwing enthralling shorts onto DVD without remastering them, that’s how!
Yep, the bulk of these cartoons are presented in vintage 20-year-old transfers. The images are soft and low-res, colors are frequently washed-out (I defy you to rep the color tan anywhere in “Paul Bunyan”), and Cinemascope films such as “Toot, Whistle, Plunk and Deny” are presented in non-anamorphic widescreen. If you have a 16X9 TV, prepare yourself for a joyless experience.
The shorts themselves are largely second-tier Disney, with a few bona fide masterpieces such as “Ferdinand the Bull.” Others display that when the Disney artists tackled a recent field (such as UPA-style microscopic animation in “A Cowboy Needs a Horse,” or dimensional animation in “Noah’s Ark,” with its fanciful found-object animals) they could do it better than honest about anybody else. Kids may become a tad restless at times, but animation fans and Disney completists will be in heaven.
Bottom line: If Disney’s going to call these shorts “Treasures” they should treat them as such.
Among the four Disney Treasures DVD sets that came out this year for Wave 5 of the approved collection, Disney Rarities, Chronological Donald Volume Two, Legendary Heroes, and Sail and Marty, I do fill this is the state I was most anticipating. “Disney Rarities: Distinguished Shorts” collects some of the most loved one-shot Disney shorts fair alongside some of the most unseen! Starting all the method aid with Walt’s early Alice films and carrying all the contrivance through to 1962′s “A Symposium On Celebrated Songs,” the mixed bag that is this 2-disc collection provides treat after treat of ravishing animation, charming stories and songs, and fond childhood memories! Here’s what you win in this pretty DVD region!
Disc 1:
Alice’s Wonderland (1923) : The first of Walt’s calm Alice Comedies that combined live-action and animation, this charming short stars the adorable shrimp Virginia Davis and costars a young Mr. Disney himself! In it, Walt gives Alice a tour of a magical animation studio which leads to an absorbing dream sequence for Alice that night.
Alice’s Wild West Reveal (1924) : Probably the best of the Alice comedies I’ve seen, and Virginia’s accepted, the live-action sequences of this are very reminiscent of the early “Shrimp Rascals” films, and, of course, there are engaging sequences as well. Alice and her friends are putting on a wild west explain, but when bullies sprint her costars away, Alice resorts to telling tales of her adventures with Indians and baddies.
Alice Gets In Dutch (1924) : Miniature Alice gets the dunce cap in school one day for playing with a balloon, and when she falls asleep on her stool, she has to deal with a cartoon teacher and her living schoolbooks!
Alice’s Egg Plant (1925) : Sadly, Virginia Davis is replaced by Anne Shirley in this short. Also, the charming live-action sequences give contrivance to total animation, aside from the inclusion of live-action Alice, of course. In this tale, there’s danger on Alice’s egg farm when a fowl Russian bird incites a strike. Luckily, Alice and her cat Julius concoct a view!
Alice In the Jungle (1925) : Virginia is help one more time for this account of animal hi-jinks and lion fighting adventure.
Alice’s Mysterious Mystery (1926) : Margie Delighted plays Alice in this short where she and Julius go up against an early version of Pete who is an heinous dogcatcher turning his captive mutts into sausage! Yes, this is a disturbing cartoon!
Alice the Whaler (1927) : Lois Hardwick plays a slightly older Alice, who sails the seas with her animal friends in a cartoon that features a potato peeling mouse in sequences seemingly identical to those in the following year’s “Steamboat Willie!”
Ferdinand the Bull (1938) : This cartoon is our sudden jump to color and sound (not including the music that accompanied the preceding Alice shorts) . This is the Oscar winning account of Ferdinand, a pacifist bull that honest loves to sit and smell flowers, mistakenly chosen to fight in a bull ring when a bee sting makes him appear ferocious and wild! This is one of those classics you’ll likely remember from your youth, and it also features caricatures of Walt and his animators.
Chicken Small (1943) : No, this isn’t Disney’s fresh, computer-animated feature, this is a classic short about not believing everything you hear and read, with a hooked but very amusing ending! I absorb this is one of the several Academy Award nominees in this collection!
The Pelican and the Snipe (1944) : And, here’s another, I bear. One of the many shorts Disney did with Proper Holloway (the novel dispute of Winnie the Pooh) as narrator, this is the cute wartime legend of a sleep-flying Pelican and his dependable and protective, sleep-deprived friend living together on a lighthouse in Uruguay. This was originally planned as share of “The Three Amigos” but was instead released on its contain.
The Courageous Engineer (1950) : Here’s one of my many favorites, the rousing, musical epic of Casey Jones, the courageous engineer! The singing narration from Jerry Colonna and crew do this a fun-filled American adventure!
Morris, the Midget Moose (1950) : Disney’s Bootle Beetle characters kick-off this classic short as an elder tells two younger bugs the narrative of two misfit moose…meese…mooses…. whatever. One is very minute, despite having tubby size antlers. The other is gargantuan, but his antlers are petite. Together, they are a distinguished force!
Lambert the Sheepish Lion (1952) : A approved for Disney fans all over, this is the classic epic of a lion cub mistakenly delivered to an expectant mother sheep. He is mocked and shunned by his peers, not unlike Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, but when he’s all grown up, he’s the only one who can support the mean ol’ wolf away!
The Diminutive House (1952) : This heartwarming classic, based on the children’s book, is very similar to the oddly absent from this dwelling “Susie, the Diminutive Blue Coupe.” It’s the anecdote of a microscopic house who grows used, lonely, and uncomfortable while the world around her changes, but in the raze gets cheered up by original owners, a recent locale, and a recent coat of paint.
Adventures In Music: Melody (1953) : Originally released in 3-D (a first for an American consuming film), but objective as luscious in 2-D, this is the first of the Professor Owl shorts where he teaches his class elephantine of young birds all about the world of music. Very toothsome animation.
Football Now and Then (1953) : Here’s a fun engrossing short, even if you are like me and not really fervent in football! Grandpa and grandson sight a televised football match pitting a unusual football time with one from yesteryear!
Adventures In Music: Toot, Whistle, Plunk and Relate (1953) : The other Oscar Winner in the bunch, here we learn the history of musical instruments in Professor Owl’s class! A just classic!
Ben and Me (1953) : A personal fave that is more of a featurette than a short, determined to be a hit with American history buffs that don’t recall it TOO seriously. This is the myth of Amos, a mouse voiced by Valid Holloway, who is the valid brains slow the legacy of Founding Father Benjamin Franklin!
Disc 2:
Pigs Is Pigs (1954) : Disc 2 kicks off with an extremely exquisite, highly fun musical romp about Flannery, a railroad area clerk whose strict adherence to the rules lands him in deep danger when a shipment of lovestruck guinea pigs arrives.
Social Lion (1954) : A lion captured on safari in Africa gets loose in the tall city, but hardly anyone notices him! Very cute and amusing, light social commentary short!
Hooked Contain (1956) : One of the two widescreen cartoons in this situation, this Humphrey the Believe short is as silly as anything the Looney Tunes ever did! In it, Humphrey does his best to outwit the fish, the tourists, and Ranger Woodlore in his attempts to load up some fish of his hold!
Jack and Musty Mac (1956) : This imaginatively entertaining musical offering creatively illustrates jazzy renditions of “The House That Jack Built” and “Old-fashioned MacDonald.” Nicely appealing.
In the Bag (1956) : The other Humphrey the Beget widescreen cartoon in this place, this hilarious short has Ranger Woodlore scheming to expend the park bears to shipshape up after the tourists. When the reward becomes a enjoyable dinner, Humphrey tries and tries but can’t seem to sustain his portion shapely! This butt-bumping extravaganza even features a cameo by Smokey the Hold!
A Cowboy Needs a Horse (1956) : This challenging, musical dream shows a puny boy’s sleeping fantasy of being a genuine cowboy, battling bandits and Indians, and saving the damsel in harm. Always wanted this one in my collection!
The Sage of Anyburg, USA (1957) : In a comic and zigzag chronicle of injustice and frivolous lawsuits, this short tells the chronicle of a town that places the blame for automobile accidents on the automobiles themselves!
The Truth About Mother Goose (1957) : This memorable veteran fave is one of the gems of this place! Telling the grim, fair tales late the nursery rhymes “Cramped Jack Horner,” “Mary, Mary, Quite Contrary,” and “London Bridge Is Falling Down,” this highly engaging short is lovely shadowy for a Disney cartoon!
Paul Bunyan (1958) : The bigger-than-life epic of Paul Bunyan the giant lumberjack is told here from his infancy to his retirement in a astounding conventional Disney approved!
Noah’s Ark (1959) : Stop-motion animation and household items are veteran for a change in this narrative from the pages of Genesis in the Bible. Noah builds a astronomical Ark to carry two of every animal, along with his family, through a flood that covered the entire globe in worn times. This reasonably sincere and jazzy cartoon is astronomical fun, though maybe it runs a tad long when it gets into some unnecessary Hippo romance subject matter. Peaceful, very obliging exiguous short!
Goliath II (1960) : This Oscar nominated classic is the comical narrative of a limited elephant the size of a mouse born to the biggest elephant in the herd! Minute Goliath is nothing but pain until he wins the others’ respect by being the only one who can acquire on their greatest alarm!
The Saga of Windwagon Smith (1961) : Some may disagree, but I salvage this to be another of the best shorts in the site! Windwagon Smith is the colossal yarn of a sea captain with dreams of sailing over the American plains in a covered wagon that is piece sailing ship! It’s a very fun and imaginative sage!
A Symposium On Celebrated Songs (1962) : And, finally, my celebrated cartoon on this state, simply because who doesn’t adore Ludwig Von Drake, especially coupled with tons of Sherman Bros. music! Also blooming powerful a featurette at 19 minutes and 44 seconds in length, “A Symposium On Current Songs” is hosted by the oddball relative of Donald Duck who takes us through the history of common music in America, until 1962 at least. He does this for the most share by playing timely songs that he wrote himself, running with visuals of stop-motion cut-out animation same as was veteran for the opening of the unusual “Parent Trap.” For Ludwig fans, this cartoon is really the highlight of the discs! Paul Frees is hilarious!
As an obsessive Disney fan, I am likely to say you that ALL the Disney Treasures sets are a must have, and hold `em coming! I certainly have them all! But, even for the collector who doesn’t secure every tin box that Disney puts out, “Disney Rarities: Well-known Shorts” is a must! Clear, there are some shorts that are oddly absent. Some of them are available on other Disney releases though. Many seem likely to appear in an educational shorts spot in the future, hopefully. I’m dying for “Scrooge McDuck and Money,” “Winnie the Pooh Discovers the Seasons,” the “What Should I Do” series, “Harold and His Astounding Green Plants,” and Jiminy Cricket’s shorts, among others. I also am desperate for a kindly, unedited release of “Runt One,” Sport Goofy in “Soccermania,” and “Fluppy Dogs,” to name a few. And, to be objective, even if they can earn a bit redundant, I’d like to find as many of the over 50 Alice shorts (that have not been lost) as possible. Nevertheless, this station is a Exact appreciate! Extras include a amazing interview with the fresh Alice, Virginia Davis, keen intros by Leonard Maltin that some catch annoying but I have no quandary with (there is only one per disc this time, and we really should regard this man as a hero, anyway), the VERY short advertisement cartoon “A Feather In His Collar,” starring Pluto, a sparkling timeline featurette showing us Walt’s history up to the introduction of Mickey Mouse, a spicy audio commentary for “A Symposium on Approved Song” with Richard Sherman and Leonard Maltin, and, of course, a few selective art galleries. Yes, there is talk on the disc of an excerpt from a Disneyland episode detailing the making of the “Parent Trap” opening credits, however, it seems none of us have been able to locate that in the situation except as snippets during Maltin’s intros. The residence comes in the expected snapcase within graceful tin box, though they are continuing with not printing anything on the serve of the tin and not including the paper band, and within is the standard, handy booklet, the numbered certificate of authenticity, and a nice collectible card featuring Paul Bunyan promo art. It all makes for a splendid package for the Disney fanatic. Can’t wait for wave 6!
