I'll be getting my first Blu Ray player soon and have been looking at Sleeping Beauty and Pinocchio... however I'm curious about the missing dialogue on the US version of the Pinocchio Blu Ray. Basically I'm wondering if at this stage Disney have admitted there was a mistake and if there is a chance...

So, unfortunately, no press-stopping news, just some reinforcement of what we've already heard, as well as minor clarification on some items. I encourage all of you to call WDHE (800-723-4763) to either request your replacement discs (in the case of More Silly Symphonies), request that defective ti...

To be honest all of my tins from all but the most recent wave are tucked away in a box somewhere - once Disney abandoned the outer cardboard strip I stopped displaying them on my shelf in their tins. Now I just have the regular DVD cases on the shelf and it's easy to tell what everything is and it's...

Wow what great news! Also on the subjects of a second rarities set - I think they could easily do a second set with some Laugh-O-Grams, Alice Comedies and the remaining unreleased classic shorts (maybe some Oswald too but seeing as he'll be getting his own Legacy DVD this year they probably wouldn't...

Hmmmm... I wonder if Disney will be doing any Laugh-O-Gram or Alice Comedy DVDs as part of their new Legacy line?

I'm actually color-blind and even I could see something was drastically wrong! Here's hoping Disney offer replacements!

I can almost understand them cancelling a line that has been around for a few years to create a new one - because a new line will always sell better... but they were so close to finishing the Teasures! Seriously had they just released Donald Duck Volumes 3 & 4 I think most people would have been...

Grrrrr - I just ordered the True Life Adventure DVDs off Amazon last week! Hopefully I'll get the ones that were pressed later as I don't think they'll replace DVDs for international customers. This kinda thing is really starting to bug me - I got screwed with my 14-disc Superman box set too and I s...

Did anyone else notice that in the intro they mention that shorts which no longer had the original title cards had new ones recreated for this release - however one of the ones they actually show an example of (sorry I forget which one specifically) still has the later title cards on the actual DVD....

So the Treasures line is officially now dead in the water? What sucks most about this is that if they start doing Legacy releases covering the same ground as the Treasures I'll probably end up buying them again! Of course looking on the positive side they may rectify some of the problems of earlier ...

I know the Winnie the Pooh stuff all came out after Walt's death but I've always felt that a Complete Winnie the Pooh Treasure set would be very very popular (and would probably sell really well even to people who hadn't collected previous Treasures). Winnie the Pooh and the Honey Tree (1966) Winnie...

I finally received my new Treasure tins from Amazon this morning! I now have a full set of all 22 Treasures - that's 44 discs of awesome Disney stuff! I bought most of them as they came out and only missed the first few waves which were easy to pick up on eBay at the time. I think my most expensive ...

Oooh - I'd totally forgotten about these coming out! I guess I'll be heading over to Amazon tonight to place my order (I have a full set of Treasures and wouldn't want to fall behind now)!

I know it's probably way to early but do we know what Disney have planned for next year's wave?

But won't it just bum you out when you finally get all the tins, paying a premium to get the early waves, and then Disney announces they are now releasing the whole series all over again, but this time in HD? :o That WOULD be a big bummer IMO. Given the age of a lot of these shorts, I really doubt ...

I second the notion that they need to maybe do a Walt Disney Treasures set of the Three Caballeros and Saludos Amigos using the laserdisc extras. Maybe also a Treasures set with uncut versions of Melody Time and Make Mine Music! :D

As far as I can tell the DVD hasn't been released over here yet so you have two main options. Buy one of the old VHS copies that seemingly continuously circulate on eBay or ou could always buy the Region 1 DVD from the States and either find a hack for your DVD player or buy a cheap multi-region DVD...

The joke is lost if you don't know the guy but here is the picture based on a screengrab from "Don Donald" - it was only a quick drawing but I thought I'd share it here too...

Try "Don Donald" , he's playing a guitar, but he has a sombrero on. Hmmm - I really wanted a generic Donald but I could probably copy the head from somewhere else. I plan on doing a picture of Donald as a friend of mine who plays guitar - for those interested! Anyway thanks for the tip - ...
