The cartoon you're looking for is DONALD'S DREAM VOICE. Donald's trying to sell the brushes you remember, but has trouble because nobody understands his voice—so takes expensive voice pills to give himself a svelte-sounding male human voice. The brushes sell very well after that, but then comes Dona...

Yes! Or rather, my boss at work wants mine, and I won't let him have it. If you're willing to sacrifice yours for the cause, I'd be overjoyed. Want to contact me privately?

What was the one with Mickey, Donald, and Goofy in the trailer that got seperaed from the car? That would be MICKEY'S TRAILER, SwordInTheStone. My own favorite Disney shorts include RIVAL ROMEOS— such wonderful action with Oswald's and Pete's cars OZZIE OF THE MOUNTED— oh, what a lovely (and extend...

Why couldn't they recreate the missing subtitle on Ozzie of the Mounted or was it over a scene that was cut? The subtitle footage actually exists in an alternate source print, but has very serious disintegration damage. Nevertheless, not sure why it wasn't included. I wondered how they could have r...

Why were these rumored to exist and how was that information proven false? A Spanish archive had a titleless Oswald cartoon about traveling in Africa. They misidentified it as AFRICA BEFORE DARK, and no questions were asked until we actually got a look at it, at which point it was found to really b...

My Best Buy kept Oswald in back, too—under the belief that the "two for $40" sale only applied to Donald and Disneyland, and that they'd put Oswald out on display later. When I asked, though, they went and got me one; and when the cashier rang the DVDs up for me, Oswald came through with a...

Yikes, where'd you hear those rumors?
I haven't heard anything about that one being rediscovered.

"New" silent Disney cartoons do turn up from time to time. ALICE'S SPANISH GUITAR is at George Eastman House today. The Laugh-O-Gram GOLDILOCKS turned up at MoMA under an assumed name (the Laugh-O-Grams were retitled when their then-owner rereleased them with sound in 1929). OZZIE OF THE M...

basically any title "known to be lost" could turn up again some day That's right—thought it takes a heckuva effort to find these things! • OZZIE OF THE MOUNTED and TALL TIMBER indeed both turned up in European film archives last year. Hopefully they'll be on Disney's set; I've been to the...

Now THAT sounds smart. Maybe the following is what really happened here: 1) January: Top management plans to cancel the Treasures— and since that same top management is the party informing Maltin and Bossert, they are told them as much. Lower management is NOT informed and presumes the series will c...

"Was that directed at me?" Just great, guys. Our one chance at a serious thread about saving the Disney Treasures—the future of which is still clearly uncertain—and we've completely blown it. Even efforts to get the discussion back on track have failed in the face of everyone's angry defen...

I hope Leonard is still with the series and that it continues indefinitely... Whomever is in charge going forward will have to do a better job selecting, remastering or restoring the original prints and masters. Please don't blame Mr. Maltin for quality control decisions that were not his. Treasure...

We are part of the Walt Disney Consumer Relations Department and have verified that the next wave of the Treasures is in development. Trouble is, if you look earlier in this thread, no less an authority than Dave Bossert—Disney restoration head—stated that the series would not go on. Could you plea...

Agreed completely. It would be very easy for a company functionary—not just at Disney, but anywhere—to issue a statement that "all is well" to stave off public backlash, when he/she doesn't really know the true state of affairs. I'll wait for word from Mr. Maltin himself... and I'll keep e...

Here's Disc One... [...] Frolicking Fish (1932) Monkey Melodies (1932) - commentary by David Gerstein Night (1932) - commentary by Ross Care Winter (1932) - commentary by Daniel Goldmark and Leonard Maltin These four cartoons are actually from 1930. Do the discs/supplemental materials really date t...

Hey Jebsdad! Glad you like our book! The big difference with the hardcover is that it's a numbered limited edition—and that big, oversized foldout prints of ten of the earliest GH pages are tipped into the volume here and there. Back in Maryland, we're still mopping our brows, disbelieving that the ...

There are two lines that were censored. In the original version of the scene, the final lines were as follows: Donald to spring: Says you! Spring to Donald: Say I! Donald to spring: I'll bust you, you doggone snake in the grass! This became Donald to spring: Aw, nuts! [line taken from ON ICE] Spring...

Horace Horsecollar and Clarabelle Cow also appear in Symphony Hour (which was on Mickey Mouse in Living Color Volume 2) as well as the original version of Orphan's Benefit (found on Mickey Mouse in Black and White Volume 1 ) Horace and Clarabelle are actually in many more shorts than most people re...
