DVD Reviews of Walt Disney Treasures - Mickey Mouse in Living Color, Volume Two
DVD Review: Great Mickey Mouse Addition
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great example of later Mickey Mouse Color Cartoons and it's biggest plus is the is had "Runaway Brain" the only Mickey Cartoon that has him become a monster. And the in jokes in the cartoon are many and hillarious.DVD Review: Mickey and Disney
Summary: 4 Stars
This is where animation really got started. There were other animation studios doing shorts. It's just Disney's constant striving to raise the bar. And to keep raising it through the years. You'll see why Disney said "the house that mouse built".
There is more edgy content with the warner brother/MGM bunch but these Disney shorts are quality.
DVD Review: Disney Treasures DVD Rule
Summary: 5 Stars
If you love the old Disney and the style that placed it above the rest, then you gotta have this dvd as well as the others. I mainly bought it for "Mickey's Christmas Carol" yet I received much more from it with all the extra shorts and bonus features. This is a must have for all who wish to learn from the masters of animation.DVD Review: Yep, Disney HERE is Cheap and Greedy! ! No Two Ways About It!! I Feel Ripped Off!!
Summary: 1 Stars
I am a HUGE "Mickey Mouse Club" fan and I grabbed The Walt Disney Treasures, "The Mickey Mouse Club", the moment that it became available a few years ago. It remains my favorite "Walt Disney Treasures" boxed set and I also have have several others that I really like, although, "The Mickey Mouse Club" Walt Disney Treasures set is my very favorite. If I could only keep one, that would be it. Within that set I have the complete first week of the show plus many bonus features includeing the original full length introduction of the show and the introduction of the mouseketeers within the opening day at Disneyland. Both of these bonuses are in color. NOW I find out that I have to buy this seperate "Walt Disney Treasures" set" to get Mickey's individual introductions to each themed day of the week in color when these introductions could have very easily been included within "The Mickey Mouse Club" set along with the other material included within that set which was presented in color!! I feel ripped off!!
Why oh why am I being forced to purchase two seperate sets when purchaseing one set would have been sufficient? Being down right cheap and greedy in putting together THIS Walt Disney Treasures boxed set together are the only answers that I can come up with. The only things worthwhile to me within this set are Mickey's introductions to each day of the week, which are in color, from "The Mickey Mouse Club".
To be completely honest, even though I more than cherish "The Mickey Mouse Club", Mickey is my least favorite Disney character. I don't dislike the little guy with the big ears in the least, it's just that many times I find him boreing. I just prefer the other characters (with Donald and Chip and Dale being my favorites - maybe Goofy).
Jimmie Dodd, the mouseketeers, and so many other elements of "The Mickey Mouse Club" are what have always made me cherish that show. Not Mickey. It's sort of strange in the fact that I LOVE the show for which Mickey is named after and yet not necessarily Mickey himself. Also,I LOVE the introductions to the "Mousekartoons" on the show which were performed by the mouseketeers yet not really cared for many of the cartoons themselves (especially the ones that featured Mickey).
Yep, Disney HERE, within this set, is cheap and Greedy!! No two ways about it!! I feel ripped off!!
By the way, when are complete seasons of "The Mickey Mouse Club" comeing out? I keep waiting.
DVD Review: Mickey's Coasting Period
Summary: 5 Stars
The greatest always go through a "coasting period" where they stop trend-setting and start craftmaking. The innovative, industry leading Mickey of the 20s/30s gives way to "the icon"/"institution" Mickey of his later career.
Mickey's cartoons from 1940-and beyond show a superstar in his element doing what he does better than anyone: entertain and delight. He does so by himself, but mostly with the best animated supporting case ever made.
Enjoy this set that (like MM in B&W Vol Two) allows you to play all the cartoons back to back continuously.
"Mr. Mouse Takes a Trip", "The Pointer", "Mickey and the Seal", AND "The Little Whirlwind" show a veteran movie star making it look soooo easy.
Description of Walt Disney Treasures - Mickey Mouse in Living Color, Volume Two
The celebration of Mickey's color capers continues in this second volume of shorts -- from "Society Dog Show" in 1939 to his last short, "The Simple Things," in 1953 -- and feature film appearances, giving you a decidedly colorful history of the most famous mouse in the world. This outstanding review of Mickey's color career spotlights some very special features, including his groundbreaking performance in "The Sorcerer's Apprentice." You'll also get an inside look at Mickey's recent career through the eyes of his most recent animators, Mark Henn and Andreas Deja, and voice actors Wayne Allwine (Mickey) and Russi Taylor (Minnie). Featuring exclusive introductions by film historian Leonard Maltin, this is a timeless collection from generations past for generations to come.By 1939, when the earliest films in this collection were made, Mickey Mouse was the most famous cartoon character in the world. The unsuccessful hunter in "The Pointer" (1939) and the irrepressible magician in "The Sorcerer's Apprentice" (1940) rank among his finest performances. In both films, he sparkles with vitality. But as Mickey grew more popular, more restrictions were placed on what he could do, and the character grew dull. Those restrictions become obvious when the viewer compares these films with the shorts on Walt Disney Treasures: Mickey Mouse in Living Color. In "Mickey's Birthday Party" (1942), he clowns and stumbles through a comic dance routine, but it feels like he's working for the laughs. In 1936, when a more impish Mickey danced with a deck of cards in "Thru the Mirror," the fun came from the stylish grace of his movements: That Mickey didn't need to mug for the camera. In the later films, Mickey serves as a genial straight man, with Pluto and other side characters supplying the comedy.
A new generation of animators faced the same problems and restrictions when they tried to revive the character in "Mickey's Christmas Carol" (1983) and "The Prince and the Pauper" (1990). The extras include some deleted animation from "The Sorcerer's Apprentice," and the five opening sequences from the "Mickey Mouse Club" (1955), the last time Walt Disney provided the character's voice. (Rated G, suitable for all ages: minor cartoon violence, tobacco use) --Charles Solomon
