Walt Disney Treasures: Wave Six - 12/19/2006 (1 Viewer)

[Brian Kidd]

I wonder if DESTINO will come with free blotter? The clips I've seen have been trip-pee!

 

[ScottR]

I did a comparison of The Goddess of Spring on the Snow White disc and this one. They are similar, but on the Treasures set, the framing is a bit higher...on the title card, the Motion Picture Assn. logo is cut off. Wonder why this title wasn't windowboxed, and would the framing still be considered correct?

 

[Brian Kidd]

Well, unless it's very heavily-zoomed, I'd say it's as accurate as the SNOW WHITE one, if only because it doesn't look like anything vital is cropped out. I also didn't notice it looking terribly claustrophobic.

 

[ScottR]

Wow, that glitch on More Kittens is pretty bad! The entire picture goes haywire and breaks up at the 2:06 mark. Even the windowboxing messes up. Why do we pay these prices for flawed product? I wish Disney would fix the mistakes.

 

[Ethan Riley]

I played More Kittens on my DVR and it went through; the digital scratchy thing was barely noticeable. Then I played it again on the PlayStation and the picture froze for a few seconds, then started up again after the digital mess...the soundtrack played normally throughout. How do you say "More Kittens" in Spanish? El Sucko.

If you think of how many bits there are on a DVD, and how many DVDs you watch in a year --- that's a lot of bits making the laser flash. In fact, if you watch just one a day, in a year you've gone through something like 12 trillion bits. It's amazing there aren't more glitches! But I do agree there should be none.

Unfortunately there are two further issues which have annoyed me above the More Silly Symphonies DVD.

First of all 'The Night Before Christmas' is unfortunately edited. The Amos n Andy mammy part has been snipped out.

Also when you watch the bonus feature when they discuss 'Goddess of Spring' the picture that appears is glorious restored! So a restored print of this short exists! So why provide an older duller grainier one as the actual cartoon?

Who else thinks Disney is trying to break the record for largest number of goofs?

 

[Jeff Wilson]

The Pluto set also contains several instances of brief combing, meaning less than a second, but enough to notice on several occasions. See "Food for Feuding" 1:02 in, or "Cold Turkey" at timepoints 2:06, 2:56, and 5:48. There are other instances as well. I don't consider this something that ruins the set per se, but it is annoying that this would slip through.

 

[David*W]

Well I've checked my copy and there are no issues in these 2 Pluto shorts at the times you mention. Perhaps this issue is not as widespread. Also it could be that just your disc is scratched/defective.

 

[Kevin Martinez]

Well, WHV has the largest number of classic animation-related goofs overall (Edited Tom and Jerry, DVNR on the Looney Tunes sets, Unrestored Magilla Gorilla, Botched Superman Cartoons on that Ultimate Set, and a couple more), although at this rate, Dinsey's pretty close to surpassing WHV

 

[Patrick McCart]

Where is "The Night Before Christmas" edited? There's a boy in blackface near the end. Also, the cartoon goes from progressive to interlaced between 2:45 and 3:03.

Any way we can get Disney to replace this with corrected versions of this and "The Goddess of Spring"? Maybe while they're at it, they can add the uncut Three Little Pigs as an extra.

 

[David*W]

Well if you are worried about the problems with wave 6, it seems Treasures fans have more to worry about.

Apparantly Leonard Maltin has confirmed that Wave 6 was the last and there will be no more additions to the Treasures series.

 

[Roy Batty]

W-WHAAAAAAAT??????!!

 

[PaulP]

They cannot. The Donald shorts aren't finished.

 

[TravisR]

Maybe they'll still be released but not under the Walt Disney Treasures line? I hope so anyway.

 

[Lars Vermundsberget]

We cannot let them have peace until they've finished the Donald Duck shorts. Simple as that.

 

[Nathan Phillips]

I couldn't agree more. As soon as the Donalds are done I'll leave them alone. Until then...

 

[Joe Lugoff]

Maybe next December all the Donalds will come out in four Legacy sets. That's the only hope that's keeping me alive at the moment.

 

[ZackR]

Yes, the have to finish the Donald Duck material. These things are timeless. I bought them for myself as an avid classic Disney fan, but my 2 year old LOVES them. He laughs and laughs at much of the stuff on the Donald / Mickey / Goofy / Pluto sets.

Come on, Disney. Finish Donald Duck. I would prefer in a Treasures set for consistency, but however you do it, just do it (and do it right).

Thank you.

As long as it's not done in a form which makes us re-purchase the same material we already own.
