DVD Reviews of Walt Disney Treasures - Mickey Mouse in Black and White
DVD Review: Thank you, Mr. Disney!
Summary: 5 Stars
This DVD is great. It includes first appearances of Mickey, Pluto, Minnie, Goofy, Donald, Pegleg Pete, etc. I wouldn't show these to toddlers, but these cartoons (most of them anyway) are GREAT! I'm ten years old and my eight year old brother and I love to watch them every Saturday morning instead of the junky and poorly made cartoons you find on television. I showed some of my favorite cartoons to my 12 year old cousin and even she loved them! Some of them don't have plots, but most of them are very funny and entertaining. Here's a list of cartoons and bonus features that are on these two great DVDs... (*= star. Five stars: I love it. Four stars: I like it. Three stars: It's okay, etc)
Disc one:
***** Steamboat Willie
Mickey and Minnie's first cartoon and one of the best. It is very funny and well done.
*Gallopin' Gaucho
terrible
*** Plane Crazy
pretty good. It's amazing that this cartoon animated by ONE PERSON in only TWO WEEKS and still looks good. I took a star off for when Mickey tried to kiss Minnie (I skip those parts)
**** The Carnival Kid
Pretty funny. This cartoon is the first cartoon where Mickey speaks. The first part of the cartoon is pretty funny, but the second part of the cartoon is boring.
*** Mickey's Follies
boring, but it does have its moments.
***** The Fire Fighters
I love this cartoon. Mickey is the fire chief, and him and Horace Horsecollar try to put out a fire in an apartment building and Mickey saves Minnie from the fire.
* The Chain Gang
bad
***** The Gorilla mystery
An extremely funny and great cartoon. (the parts where Mickey is searching Minnie's unlit house for the gorilla that has captured Minnie is eerie and black and white makes it even creepier; color would have ruined the cartoon)
**** Pioneer Days
Pretty good and funny. A few not-so-good things, but I just skip those.
***** The birthday party
Funny. From looking at the candles on the cake, I'm sure that it must have been released on Mickey's second birthday.
***** Mickey Steps out
Pretty funny. This is also the first cartoon where Pluto is Mickey's pet.
*** Blue Rhythm
Most of it is boring and plotless, but it does have its moments
***** Mickey cuts up
A garden cartoon. A funny cartoon.
**** Mickey's Orphans
this was the first Mickey cartoon to be nominated for an Academy Award. I took one star off for the terrible ending
***** The duck hunt
very funny. PS: no ducks, Mickeys, or Plutos were hurt in the making of this film
***** Mickey's Revue
This is Goofy's first appearance, and Goofy is definitely the highlight of the cartoon.
**** Mickey's Nightmare
Mickey dreams he gets married to Minnie, a stork delivers a baby mouse, lots of storks come and deliver lots of baby mice, the mice destroy Mickey and Minnie's house, and Mickey wakes up from his nightmare to Pluto licking his face.
***** The whoopee party
Another great Mickey Party cartoon. I also love to identify all the mistakes in the cartoon (Mickey's nose flashing from black to white for a 24th of a second, characters disappearing and repapering again, etc).
***** Touchdown Mickey
I really dislike the dangerous game of football, but this is one of the funniest cartoons ever made.
***** The Klondike Kid
Amusing.
Disc two
**** Building a Building
Great, and it actually has a plot! This was the second Mickey cartoon to be nominated for an Academy Award.
***** The Mad Doctor
This is the creepiest cartoon ever, and black and white makes it even more eerie. Color would have ruined this cartoon.
***** Ye Olden Days
A classic
***** The Mail Pilot
A great cartoon
** Mickey's gala premiere
Boring. To make it even more boring, I don't recognize or know about ANY of the movie stars turned into cartoon characters for this short. Two stars is actually high praise for this stinker...
* Puppy Love
WARNING!!!!! DO NOT WATCH THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IT'S AWFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!
***** The pet store
Much better than Puppy Love. Just don't let the name trick you, Pluto is NOT in this cartoon
***** Giantland
The story of Jack and the Beanstalk with Mickey instead of Jack.
PS: if you don't like the giant to die in the end, the giant doesn't die in the end (he falls through the earth and comes out in China)...
***** Camping Out
I don't like mosquitoes, but I love this cartoon. I don't even mind that Horace Horsecollar and Clarabelle Cow get much more screen time than Mickey and Minnie
***** Gulliver Mickey
This is the very opposite of Giantland; Mickey is not attacked by a giant, but by little people who are all about one inch tall! This cartoon also reveals that Mickey loves to read
***** Orphan's Benefit
Minnie isn't in this cartoon, but Donald Duck is! This cartoon was the first time Donald appeared in a Mickey cartoon.
***** The Dognapper
Donald and Mickey are police officers who must catch dognapper Pete
* Two Gun Mickey
lousy
***** Mickey's Service Station
What a great finale! Mickey, Donald, and Goofy are all together, just as it should be.
This is a great DVD and a must-have for Mickey lovers, Disney fans, and cartoon buffs. The films are unrestored, but that's okay, the quality is still pretty good (besides, the cartoons being unrestored show just how old the cartoons really are). The films Mickey cartoons are not only earlier than the awful Looney Tunes, but much better and much less violent. Thank you, Disney for releasing your best black and white cartoons on this great DVD set!

DVD Review: "He's the Guy They Call Mickey Mouse"
Summary: 4 Stars
This two disc collection from the Disney studios was one of the early Disney Treasures recordings. In this case, we've got 34 shorts from Mickey's early career.
The collection starts off with the first Mickey cartoon ever, "Steamboat Willie." In it, Mickey is working on a steamboat. There's very little plot, but lots of fun gags with music. It does introduce Minnie and the character that would become Peg Leg Pete.
This set collects a sampling of the Mickey shorts from that debut in 1928 to 1935. Since most movies of the time were black and white, these shorts are all black and white as well. Over the course of this set, we also get to see the original appearances of Donald, Goofy (called Dopey Dawg at first), and Pluto.
The shorts themselves are of varying quality. Many of the early ones have no real story and are just a bunch of gags accompanying a soundtrack. They are fun, but they wear thin quickly. Fortunately, things improve on the second disc. We start to get actual stories that incorporate the gags fairly well. I find these more interesting and fun to watch.
Either way, it is interesting to watch how the animation developed. To be honest, the early shorts aren't that great to look at. It's hard to believe that Snow White was only a decade away. But by the end of the set, the drawings are getting much better, even if Peg Leg Pete's wooden leg seems to jump from leg to leg at will.
Unfortunately, the quality of these shorts shows their age. There is lots of grain and dust. The sound is decent. I do understand the time involved in restoring old films, but it would have been nice if an effort had been made. But don't misunderstand, these are definitely watchable shorts. They just aren't as clean as something done in the last two decades.
Ultimately, this is a collection that will appeal to die hard Disney fans. Casual fans will enjoy parts of it, but us die harders will love every minute.
DVD Review: Great Classic
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased for the entertainment of the kids of course. The black and white for the littlest of babies. Some with just music, less stimulating to the infant. (Not all are subtle of course as voice soon followed the video movement)
Kid's enjoyed somewhat, but probably not as much as Dad in reviewing the classic(ness) of the feature. Good history of Walt Disney, Mickey and the advent of cartoons from the earliest of days. Helps to conceptualize how much animation has evolved.
DVD Review: Mickey Mouse - New, Crude and Black & White
Summary: 5 Stars
The Walt Disney Treasures series presents these classics quite well. Follow the evolution of Mickey Mouse starting with this collection. Beware though, Mickey wasn't originally created as a "role-model" so this set wouldn't be good for children. This quality is good for a 75+ year old mouse and quite interesting.
Description of Walt Disney Treasures - Mickey Mouse in Black and White
Witness the birth of an American icon. This historic compilation chronicles Mickey Mouse's early career, from his landmark debut in 1928's "Steamboat Willie" to the last of his black-and-white shorts, "Mickey's Service Station," in 1935. Gain insights into Mickey's beginnings in new interviews with legendary Disney animators Frank Thomas and Ollie Johnston. See the earliest visuals on record showing the creative birth of animation's most historically significant cartoon as well as the only black-and-white cartoon pencil footage known to exist. All of this and more is revealed in this homage to the mouse who captured the imagination of the world. Featuring exclusive introductions by film historian Leonard Maltin, this is a timeless collection from generations past for generations to come.In these cartoons released between 1928 and 1935, Walt Disney created one of the icons of 20th-century culture. Disney's reputation was built on these early shorts, and the films shimmer with the energy of the young artists exploring the new medium of the sound cartoon. Watching the films in chronological order enables the viewer to see the remarkable progress Walt and his crew made in animation, storytelling, and acting in just seven years. The rambunctious, rubbery Mickey of "Plane Crazy" and "Steamboat Willie" quickly developed into the polished charmer of "Gulliver Mickey" and "Mickey's Orphans." More than 70 years after his debut, the black and white Mickey still displays the appeal that made him so popular during the '30s, when A Mickey Mouse Cartoon appeared on theater marquees with the feature titles, and his fans included Franklin Roosevelt, Mary Pickford, George V of England, the Nizam of Hyderabad--and the more than one million children who joined the first Mickey Mouse Club.
Although it's fun to look at the old sketches and pencil tests, the high point of the supplementary material is the discussion host Leonard Maltin conducts with Frank Thomas and Ollie Johnston, the last surviving members of the justly celebrated "Nine Old Men" of Disney animation. Thomas and Johnston were nearly 90 at the time of the interview, but their enthusiasm for their work, for Mickey, and for the man who made it all possible remains undimmed. (Unrated; suitable for all ages: cartoon violence) --Charles Solomon
