Summary: 4 Stars
While not a big fan of The 1923 "Alice in Wonderland" or "Alice comedies", I love Disc 2 with the shorts and some of my favorite cartoons.
I love Humphey the Bear and this disc has two with Ranger Woodlore. It also contains "Ben & Me" which is probably my number 1 for Disney shorts. I would recommend it, but really only for Disc 2.
DVD Review: This Is a Real Treasure
Summary: 4 Stars
My whole family has enjoyed this video. It's not only entertaining it's educational in its own way. It's interesting to see how television has evolved and changed throughout the years. DVD Review: Wonderful memories!
Summary: 5 Stars
Used to watch these cartoons, one in particular in the late '50s. Quality is terrific and well worth the buy. Glad this was available to pass along to my granddaughter.DVD Review: Pure Delight
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a wonderful collection for anyone who appreciates Disney cartoons. Those of us who are old enough to have seen them the first time around will enjoy falling back into the familiarity of delightful storytelling and simple animation. This comes in a lovely tin for safekeeping.
Description of Walt Disney Treasures - Disney Rarities - Celebrated Shorts, 1920s - 1960s
Studio: Buena Vista Home Video Release Date: 12/06/2005Disney Rarities lives up to its title: It's been impossible to see many of these shorts for decades. Walt Disney bankrupted his fledgling Laugh-O-Gram studio making "Alice's Wonderland," but the short earned Disney his first national distribution contract. Films featuring animated characters in live-action settings were common during the silent era; Disney reversed the situation, placing a live actress (Virginia Davis) in a cartoon world. The "Alice" series ran from 1923-1926, and several girls played the title role. These silent films have been handsomely restored and given upbeat musical tracks by Alex Rannie.
The Oscar-winners "Ferdinand the Bull" (1938) and "Toot, Whistle, Plunk and Boom" (1953) rank as genuine classics, and have been unavailable for far too long. The wartime cautionary tale "Chicken Little" (1943) displays more imagination than the 2005 feature adaptation of the same story. "The Truth About Mother Goose" (1957) reflects the influence of Sleeping Beauty (1959), which was in production then; the elephants in "Goliath II" (1960) anticipate the ones in The Jungle Book (1967).
"Noah's Ark" (1959), Disney's first stop-motion film, features cleverly designed animals made from pencils, erasers, corks, pipecleaners, and other found objects, but the obstrusive '50s songs quickly cloy. Many of the films from the '50s and early '60s ("Pigs Is Pigs," "A Cowboy Needs a Horse," "Paul Bunyan" ) reflect the look of the UPA Studio. The characters are flatter, simpler, and more angular; the backgrounds, more stylized. Although Disney had dominated the cartoon short during the '30s, the studio largely shifted to feature and television production during the '40s and '50s. Disney Rarities is a set fans and students of animation will want to own. (Unrated, suitable for all ages: cartoon violence, tobacco use, ethnic stereotypes) --Charles Solomon
