Also in Indiana jones and the Temple of Doom that scene where Indy, Willy and Short Round run out of the cave as that wall of water comes gushing out is directly lifted from the Carl Barks Uncle Scrooge comic "Prize of Pizarro"

He tells Roy th...

Most of my friends know I'm a big Disney fan so I dont encounter it that often, but it always throws me for a loop when i do. I was pretty much known in high school for always wearing a mickey mouse watch and carrying those mickey "rush brushes" they used to sell at the parks before they d...

IMO except for the cartoon bits, Saludos Amigos is EXTREMELY boring. (theres more of a documentary feel to this one than in Three Caballeros). It is informative from a historical point of view. I'd try and rent it first to see if you want to buy it. ( I haven't bought it yet. the completist in me wh...

The only reason the first trailer for Cars had A Bug's Life mentioned was because the music used during that portion of the trailer was Randy Newman's theme from A Bug's Life. I too hold that it deserves a whole lot more respect than it gets. I thought that the reason was because it was directed by...

This is great news. I've marked them on my calendar so I won't forget. Even though I own most of these DVD's - I'd like to give them the ratings so maybe they'll keep it up.

Just to put my two cents in.....while I wont say that everything Walt did turned to gold or that he didn't have his share of failures....I find it interesting that the Disney films that are MOST revered are the ones that Walt had the MOST personal involvement in.

DIsney films are done on 1s (24 drawings per second) much of the time because they use rotoscope, which is tracing over live-action footage frame-by-frame. Actually, in every interview i've read with the nine old men and others at Disney they all made the distinction that what they did was NOT roto...

Hi there, welcome to the boards! :)
As far as I know those shorts have not been released on DVD. which is a shame because I used to watch those videos when I was a kid and would love to see them again. Maybe we will get them on a future treasures release!
