I received my replacement DVD of The Apple Dumpling Gang on Friday along with a letter apologizing for the wrong DVD in the tin. Since we hadn't actually received the tin yet, we made a call and I expressed the sentiments from my previous posting. The Cast Member was enthusisatic while reaffirming t...

I jut don't know what to think anymore when it comes to Disney's Home Entertainment Media Marketing division anymore. While I'm not going to cling to the unofficial annoucement that the Treasures line is dead, it's not going to surprise me in the least if it's true. Dissapoint, certainly. But this d...

Re: "Texas John Slaughter" should be on dvd

I whole-heartedly agree. Texas John Slaughter is a great series and deserves to be released. 17 hour-long episodes in all with a fantastic supporting cast throughout. Even if they decide not to release the series they could do the 5 movies that were made by editing shows from the series. Some of the...

My Swiss Family Robinson disc arrived yesterday. I must say that the tin is a vast improvement over the Treasures line and if that line continues, they should adapt the structure of these tins to that line. While I'm not a pin collector, the two pins that came with the set are very nice. There was n...

It's great to see the comments this topic is generating. I just wish the execs at Disney Home Entertainment Marketing would spend a little time on EBay and see what some of the titles that keep popping up in this discussion can bring. Older VHS tapes, even previous store rentals where the cover art ...

Just an added thought about this approach to selling these titles. In 1979 the Disneyland Records label was facing extinction. Their latest release, Mickey Mouse Disco, wasn't selling as expected and they turned to telemarketing to try and boost the sales. Using cleverly edited vintage Mickey Cartoo...

First of all, thanks for all the information about this program. Having just discovered the whole thread I couldn't wait to make the phone call. It doesn't matter to me that I already own the movies, I want these releases. You can imagine my disappointment when I learned that I have to wait until Mo...

Thanks for all the clarification!

I checked the other forum link and I'll be making a phone call.

I agree this isn't the same as the Treasures set but I still think if enough interest is generated in this type of thing it helps secure future Treasures releases.

>>That said, if I didn't get the "tin" version (with the same content as the earlier DVD), would that be an insufficient show of consumer support for this material? I'm glad "Swiss Family" is being remarketed in a fresh way to new consumers, but is that the same niche that these...

I've just finished reading these posts and I'm struck by the large amount of misinformation. First, if there any official word that the treasures line is dead? Absolutely not. Leonard Maltin says the future is uncertain. He said the same thing last year and has been repeating this mantra since 2007....

Jiminy, People and Places, Zorro, Ludwig

My brain hurts in anticipation of the next wave. I'd be extremely excited about a set of the Jiminy shorts and the People and Places series. These are basically untouched in any format on DVD. The Jiminy shorts were available on way over-priced educational DVD's but they've been pulled from the Educ...

Zorro

The four Zorro episodes would be great along with the two feature films. I was fortunate enough to get Zorro the Avenger and the episodes when Disney still ran classic stuff. I've since converted all of them to DVD. The Sign of Zorro and Zorro The Avenger would be great because they completely capsu...

I want Jiminy Cricket as a treasures Set

I would love to see a Jiminy Cricket Treasures Set. All of the I'm No Fool series. It could also include the Jiminy hosted Anthology Episodes. I keep reading about people wanting a Chip "n' Dale set or a Zorro set. Since the Chip N Dale cartoons are available in the Classic Cartoon series and o...

Magic and Music

I just finished posting Magic and Music in a.b.multimedia.disney. It's from an old VHS and the quality is pretty good considering, but there is occasional audio static. I've spent almost the entire day reworking these scenes into a DVD rip of the Pastoral symphony segment and plan on making a comple...

I do occasional posts of the Anthology series in the Disney binaries newsgroup. I've already converted the file to DVD and was going to post it in the newsgroup tomorrow. drfsupercenter-just checked your site and it's missing a censored segment. On the DVD the red carpet going to Bacchus' chair seem...

Coming into this very late!

I was recently going through some old VHS recordings from the Disney Channel of the Wonderful World of Disney and found an episode called Magic and Music. In the final segment, the Magic Mirror introduces the Pastoral Symphony and it's uncut. According to Bill Cotter's book, the 1958 broadcast was u...

This is a hard call

I like films from each of the 3 cited ages but if I had to choose, it still has to be the first age because this is where it all started. Without it there wouldn't have been a second or third age, My favorite animated films are always going to be Fantasia, Pinocchio, Bambi and Peter Pan. I do like t...

I'm saving my points in the hopes they add a Mickey figurine or Mickey Lithographs. It's always been about the mouse for me :)
