Woo-Hoo - and that page also has the very cool art for the Tomorrowland discs.

 

[Patrick McCart]

I'll be picking up all four volumes.

Is any content on that Tomorrowland set animated? From the disc art I would think so, but I don't want to buy it, if it's non-animated Disney shows.

Well, yeah, there's a lot of animation in each show, as I recall. Largely limited and/or stylized (some might say "UPA-style"). The shows were put together by veteran Disney animator Ward Kimball. There's live-action, too, of course.

And DONALD IN MATHMAGIC LAND is coming in 2004! I've been trying to find this laser disc for ages, and now I just have to wait just a bit longer for the dvd.

Some other interesting information on that board:

Disney on the Front Line
On December 8, 1941, the Disney Studio was taken over by the military as part of the war effort. Making the most of the talent that hadn't shipped out yet, Walt Disney spent the next four years creating and producing training, propaganda and educational films for the Armed Forces. In addition to these films, this extraordinary volume also includes the full-length feature "Victory Through Air Power." Released theatrically in 1943, this powerful propaganda film has never been reissued until now. You'll also see recently discovered on-the-set footage, and get rare firsthand accounts about the work and culture at the Disney Studio in interviews with Disney Legends Joe Grant, John Hench, and Roy Disney. Featuring exclusive introductions by film historian Leonard Maltin, this is a timeless collection from generations past for generations to come.

Chronological Donald
It was 1934 when the irascible Donald Duck came to life in a teeny bit of a part in The Wise Little Hen and proceeded to steal the show. From that point on nobody could hold him back, and the much loved cranky character went on to be the most prolific of Walt's "fabulous five." Now for the first time, you can enjoy the Donald in all of his solo starring shorts from "Donald And Pluto" in 1936 to "Chef Donald" in 1941. This volume also includes a loving tribute to the man who achieved immortality by inventing the voice of Donald Duck -- and performing as his alter ego for 50 years -- Clarence "Ducky" Nash. Featuring exclusive introductions by film historian Leonard Maltin, this is a timeless collection from generations past for generations to come.

Walt's Tomorrowland
Walt Disney was a true visionary, and his most far-reaching vision examined the future. During the 1950s, his investigation into space exploration and the wondrous opportunities and challenges of space travel not only came alive in several Disneyland TV shows, but helped create strong public support for The United States space program. Go back in time to the beginning of the future and enjoy four episodes and a theatrical short that delve into the mysteries of the universe and space travel -- "Man In Space," "Man And The Moon," "Mars And Beyond," "Eyes In Outer Space," and "Our Friend The Atom." You'll also get a rare look at Walt's last film, "Epcot," in which he reveals his concepts and plans for the Disney World and EPCOT projects. Other not-to-be-missed features include a special interview with noted futurist and author Ray Bradbury. Featuring exclusive introductions by film historian Leonard Maltin, this is a timeless collection from generations past for generations to come.

No description for Mickey Mouse in Living Color Vol. 2 yet.

 

[Patrick McCart]

The 2nd Color Mickey Set only has 21 shorts, but keep in mind that one of them is Mickey's Christmas Carol.

I might be wrong, but perhaps there are some Disneyland episodes on Mickey that they'll include.

What's the street date on these?

 

[PaulP]

The dates's 12/2.

I am very excited about all of these sets. About the whole Treasures line, in fact. It's probably the single most exciting series of DVDs ever. If only they came out every 6 months, not yearly.
