I guess they went with the "Must-Own Stunning Gold Tin Packaging" since it's the least known property. I think it looks kinda nice but I'm sure some people will have a fit because they changed the color and it won't look like the same when they spend hours gazing at the DVDs on their shelves.

It calls Donald Duck "perhaps the most prolific of Walt's Fab Five." Three others of a Fab Five would be Mickey, Goofy and Pluto -- who's the fifth? Are they counting Chip and Dale as one?

 

[GregoryMesh]

Minnie Mouse is in fab five.

 

[Adam_S]

Only 30 Donald Duck Toons? Are they planning on five instead of four sets. Oy.

 

[Deepak Shenoy]

That seems to be just about the right number cause it leave another 30 some shorts for V4. Why do you think they will need a 5th volume ?

-D

 

[Adam_S]

:p because I wasn't counting, I just thought the number was too low and would needlessly stretch the series, like two pluto volumes.

Can't wait! These are always so amazing.

These are preorderable on Amazon:

Oswald the Lucky Rabbit (2pc)
Chronological Donald Duck 3 (2pc)
Disneyland: Secrets Stories & Magic (2pc)

 

[Brandon Conway]

Nice. Pre-ordered all three.

I don't hate it but it's always nice to have symmetry especially when your collection is a predominant part of a room. But I'll take it either way. Heck, they could package it in a broken CD case with a poorly handwritten title and I'd still buy it.

 

[Jeff Jacobson]

Since they only label the front of the cases, this will be the only one that will be identifiable without taking it off of the shelf.

I left the blue bands around mine so I could identify those from the spines. Unfortunately, they stopped using those :frowning:

DVD Talk has reviewed all three sets (although they received screener copies, so facsimile reproductions aren't mentioned). They do say, however, that the Donald shorts have been restored this time!

And they weren't before? I thought they looked good...

 

[Chris S]

The last volume of Donald definitely didn't look restored in comparison to what we've come to expect with other Treasure releases.

 

[MatthewA]

The first volume of Donald was restored. The second was not. In fact, two on the second volume looked like they could have been 1980s era laserdisc masters.

 

[Steven Wesley]

Alright, boys and girls, Wave 7 arrived yesterday. What are your thoughts?

I picked up all 3 sets, but haven't had a chance to really go through them with any depth. I have been impressed, however, with the new soundtracks done for the Oswald cartoons. Very enjoyable!

I've watched the Peoples and Places piece on Disneyland and it looks great. Obviously, a new transfer. Anamorphic. Also has a music only track.

The People and Places piece on Disneyland is the gem. I've been watching it over and over and over again.
