Hi there, fellow HTFers!
A while back, like many of you, I purchased the Walt Disney Treasures: Mickey Mouse in Living Color set. Great set, and as a fan of Disney (more of the business/theme park side than the characters, but who could pass this set up?), I really enjoyed watching it in my spare time.
One thing that frustrated me, however, was the lack of information included with this package, namely the specific dates when these shorts came out, what their original order was, and maybe some information about them. So I set out to create just a simple list for myself that I could stick inside the "insert clips" of the keepcase to provide a little more value and info upon repeat viewing.
I ended up firing up good ole Microsoft Excel and got a little more involved than I had originally intended, but the end result was pleasing. I borrowed the helpful review information from LaughingPlace.com combined it with some dates and details I had found elsewhere on the Web, and then tried to figure out how to format and print out the darn thing so that it looked somewhat useful.
Having put all the time into this, I thought it might be nice to share with you all, should you find the custom inserts the least bit helpful with your collection. They aren't graphic design masterpieces like you'd find over at DVDCoverArt, but they do have useful info that I felt added to my viewing experience. (I laminated mine and they hold up nicely). I hope they help you as well.
I converted each insert into PDF format so that they print correctly on your printer (hopefully!), and all are contained in the zipped file that is linked to below. Your feedback, corrections, suggestions, and whatever are welcomed. I've learned a lot from this forum in the few months that I've been a member, and I wanted to give a little something back.
Have a great day!
