Summary: They are consistent...
Review: ... at Disney's, because if they are proud of the crap they're making now, they're right to be ashamed of what their predecessors did. But, I'm not quite sure which is worse: cutting like they did for "Saludos Amigosos", or, like they're doing now, marring the DVDs with a new "Politikally Korrekt" feature (which doesn't even get a disabling option in the menu for people with a fully working and correct mind). If the nerds who 'think' (although the word is not very appropriate for the activity of the messy thing between their ears) that even the past should be adjusted to their nonsensical view of the present, why don't they destroy all evidence of that "shameful past": books, movies, magazines, and even people remembering this past; so, although some 20 years late, they would give a good start to George Orwell 1984's world. I never got much consideration before for Leonard Maltin as a film critic (he's too much of an Hollywood enforcer for that). And this new kind of performance he's doing for Disney won't help improving my opinion.

Summary: Another Fantastic Disney Collection
Review: Disney has already released a collection of Mickey Mouse shorts on DVD. This is the long anticipated sequal that will hopefully contain everything the first DVD missed. The one cartoon i would most like to see is "Runaway Brain" which was released in theaters with "A Kid in King Arthur's Court". Sadly Runaway Brain has yet to be released in any format to the public. Disney has really been doing a great job with digitally remastering it's finest works and making them available to the public. If this DVD is any foreshadowing of whats yet to come from Disney fans should not be dissapointed.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Too many repeats
Review: Everything on this set looks and sounds great. Technically this is wonderful, but its still a major disappointment when compared to every other Disney Treasure collection released (except Disneyland). The problem is that about half or a little more is repeated on many other DVDs from Disney. I figure there is actually only one DVD's worth of new material here. If you are a Disney fan and have everything, or only somewhat interested in Disney stuff, odds are you're going to have a good chunk of the extras contained here. Yes, the cartoons here are not repeated, but much of the rest of it is. How many times are they going to include the stuff from Fantasia? There is also the many times repeated Plausible Impossible clips, while Mickey and the Beanstalk is half Fun and Fancy Free. Yes, it is nice to have it all in one place but there is a such a thing as too many trips to the well.
I can't understand why there is so little new material, especially since Mickey is the icon for the company, I can't believe they used it all up in the first two Mickey sets.
The content is quite good and had it been a single disc or not one of the limited tins this would be a great set.But the fact that this set is called a Disney Treasure demands this be something special, which it is not, especially when compared to the high standards set by most of the other collections in the series.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Mouse is finally in the house

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Good for Pluto fans
Review: For Pluto fans, this DVD would be good to complement Pluto's Walt Disney Treasures DVD. A lot of the cartoons not only feature, but in my opinion, star the hilarious mutt. Many of these cartoons I found more entertaining than those contained on the Pluto DVD. The DVD also features "The Sorcerer's Apprentice" and "A Christmas Carrol," two classic half-hour Mickey Mouse cartoons that I thouroughly enjoyed. Although I did not enjoy "The Prince and the Pauper" and "Runaway Brain," two other longer than normal shorts, children might enjoy them for the amount of action contained. I cant compare this DVD (volume Two) to the first DVD (volume one) because I have not seen Vol 1. In fact, one bad thing about these DVDs is that the Disney Corporation labels them as "collectibles," charges more than they are worth, and if you are unlucky to not get the DVD when it firsts comes out the only place you will find it is used on the internet, in "acceptable" condition, and for a rediculous amount of money. So if you think that you would want these cartoons, be sure to grab the DVD soon. (Or on the other hand, you could wait about 10 years for Disney to re-release the Treasures Collection and **** over all the people who paid outrageous prices for them)

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Complete Mickey Mouse
Review: Growing up as a kid in the 80s, my only real exposure to Mickey Mouse in animated form was in Mickey's Christmas Carol, and it soon became a personal favorite of mine.

This DVD set finishes off the theatrical releases of Mickey Mouse, right up to his most recent film "Runaway Brain." This DVD is great as it includes scenes from Feature length films that Mickey Appeared in, such as "Sorcerer's Apprentice," from "Fantasia," and "Mickey and the Beanstalk" from "Fun and Fancy Free."

Truthfully most of the shorts on this set are when Mickey was no longer the most popular animated star at Disney. In some of these cartoons he takes a supporting role to Donald and Pluto, but the full charm of these cartoons is still there.

Leonard Maltin, an expert on animation and movie history, is on the disc with special features. He also appears more often then not to preface certain cartoons to let us know that they are not "Politically Correct." While other reviewers found this annoying, I would rather have the preface then have Disney keep these treasures locked in a vault. Think "Song of the South" as an example.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: When will the mouse get to my house?
Review: How many of you out there have been waiting for this title and other titles in the Treasures series since before the holidays? I actually placed this order on November 3 and I am still, patiently waiting, as these titles are very rare an truly worth waiting for. The problem, of course, is not so much in the waiting but the reason (s) we are waiting.

Truth is, these titles are known to be sitting in a warehouse ready to ship. But there they sit allegedly because Michael Eisner wanted to be sure and (#1) remove Roy Disney's printed signature from all the packaging before they shipped (as he had done at around the same time by recalled the completely printed company annual report magazine to strike any reference to Roy Disney that wasn't absolutely essential) and (#2) to wait to ship these DVDs filled with vintage material (which the current management feels has little sales potential), in a up quarter of the year so that lagging sales of the "stale old material" won't be an added burden to an already bad quarter.

So we sit and we wait and only time will tell when we get these vintage wonders from when the Disney Studio was truly Disney. I will be anxious to see if it is really true that Michael Eisner is so small and so petty that he would actually stoop so low as to remove Roy Disney's name from the packaging of these items and, if so, if he personally scratched the name off with the same claw he uses to pinch pennies with.

Cheers for vintage Disney and Jeers for Michael Eisner and his rancid Walt Disney Company!

As Bette Midler so eloquently put it recently, "It's a shame that there is no shame".

Summary: Excellent!!! Also, Wave 4 announced!
Review: I am very happy with the Disney Treasures Wave 3 collection. It's great to finally have Mickey's Christmas Carol, Runaway Brain, and Prince and the Pauper finally available on DVD along with the other classic Mickey films. Also enjoyed On the Front Lines, Chronological Donald, and Tomorrowland. They did not let me down. It has also been announced (and I've heard from a very reliable source) that the Disney Treasures Wave 4 will most likely be released in December. They are going to be "Mickey Mouse in Black and White Vol.2","Disney's True Life Adventures","A Pluto Collection", and the one I'm excited about, "The Original Mickey Mouse Club, Season One." Anyway, thank you Disney, and keep them coming! They are worth the wait!

Rating: 5 stars
