DISNEY TREASURES DONALD DUCK V.4??
|
|
|
Hi All!
I'd read a review at Amazon stating that the Treasures series may or has ended before a Chronological Donald v.4 will be released. Is it *gulp* true? The horror... the horror!

I pre-ordered mine back in October; I should receive it Christmas week...huzzah!
I can't believe Disney would pull the plug on the "Treasures" series before isuing the final volumes of The Chronological Donald. Volume 3 only goes up to 1950... I think the last DD theatrical short was Donald in Mathemagic Land (1961), so they should still have 2 more volumes to go.

Who wrote this review, a customer, or was it someone in the industry who would know for certain?

This was the review for set three at Amazon - sorry it took so long - I'd forgotten I'd posted! Busy season. Best! - Jon 35 of 37 people found the following review helpful:  The Treasures get a new lease on life!, October 15, 2007 By Paul J. Mular (San Carlos, CA USA) - See all my reviews
  ***Update on restoration***
The shorts appear to be restored with brilliant colors, looking much better than the Chronological Donald Volume 2 presentation. I have not run across any that look as bad as "No Sail" in volume 2. However, I do not think they are as painstakingly restored as volume 1 was. There is still some occasional flicker in the picture, maybe the restorers wanted to keep a little 'old film' look to the picture.
Original review:
Last January 2007, Disney Home Video announced that the Disney Treasures line was cancelled, leaving Donald Duck only half released. A massive write-in campaign started up, and the Disney Home Video division listened. By April the official announcement of the renewal was made. We were told the release would be reduced to just 3 sets, but this is much better than none!
It is good to know that Disney listened to their fans and Donald is back for his 3rd (of 4) Disney Treasures DVD sets. Let's just hope Disney continues the series for one more year to complete the Donald Duck releases, and maybe finish the Alice Comedies series!
The full support of the Disney Fans is needed to keep this series going.
As for these Donald cartoons, some of these are the best Donald cartoons to be made! By the late 1940's Donald had surpassed Mickey as the Disney star of short cartoons. Goofy had fallen into a formula rut of instructional film spoofs, but Donald stayed fresh and inovative. Chip & Dale will be there to add to Donald's frustration!

It was "The Litter Bug" (1961). But i'm hoping that they release DVD's of Walt Disney's TV Show with the Disney Characters. That would rock!

I'm sure you people know more than I do but Donald V4 is suppose to have 31 shorts. From what I can figure that is exactly how many shorts are left to complete the series. So this should be the final Treasure of the original Donald cartoon shorts.
