Walt Disney’s much-requested mini-series comes to the Treasures line in an excellent presentation alongside its feature film version, but the supplements remain extremely lacking.

The thirty-one shorts highlighted on this disc pick up where the last Chronological Donald left off. We start in 1951 and end in 1961, completing the final decade of Donald’s theatrical solo shorts. The previous collection of shorts already began to see Donald’s transition from the barnyard to the suburbs. In the fifties, this was finally sealed with Donald becoming a suburban everyman with a job and hobbies and living with everyday frustrations of home and family life. In some of these shorts Donald is even married and has a family.

This Mickey Mouse Club serial starring Annette Funicello is wholesome Disney goodness that stands up extremely well fifty years since it aired.

The Clone Wars were a series of battles that took place between separatist star systems and the Galactic Republic. The Separatists (under the name of Confederation of Independent Systems) use battle droids to wage war against the Republic who eventually fights back with an army of cloned soldiers led by Jedi generals. The beginning of the war can be found in the film Attack of the Clones while the grand finale of the war takes place in Revenge of the Sith. This would put this latest film as well as the new TV show between Episodes 2 and 3 of the Star Wars saga.

The final black and white Popeye cartoons are in this set, which means the Fleischer era is now fully on disc. There’s lots more of Pappy here, plus Popeye gets some nephews, and joins the Navy to help out against the Axis powers.

Pixar’s latest is a contemporary classic, and though the Blu-ray beats it, Disney’s standard definition Special Edition set – including feature doc The Pixar Story – is a return to the great packages of old!

DreamWorks’ television special is a festive affair that brings the Shrek franchise back to the level of the first film, not the second, but the disc is sorely lacking any surprise presents.

All 166 episodes over 24 discs of Hanna-Barbera’s groundbreaking animated prime time family sitcom show in a yabba-dabba-doo set that doesn’t offer anything fresh for those with the previously released individual collections, but is an excellent treat for new fans!

This is the most essential Peanuts special to own— the very first one, and perhaps still the best.

The Looney Tunes Golden Collection series ends – at least for now – in style with a pot porri of curios and rarities among the all time classics, plus some classy supplements!

It’s another classic, Charlie Brown!

Indy’s latest is a long, talky bore…a far cry from the adventures of old, though Paramount’s DVD packs in strong supplements that may bring about a new appreciation for the film. Or not.

Tim Burton’s brilliant and original stop-motion feature gets the deluxe treatment on DVD and Blu-ray, in a wonderful set echoing the awesome achievement of the previous LaserDisc box!
