Walt Disney Legacy Collection / True Life Adventures on DVD!

[Tony J Case, Super Genius]

Disc 1 opens with a trailer for the Walt Disney's Legacy Collection (2:23), which features Roy E. Disney discussing future releases such as Oswald the Lucky Rabbit and Destino, then concluding with an overview of the True-Life Adventures. On the Main Menu, the "Sneak Peeks" option doesn't go to an index page with other trailers, but plays a lengthy trailer for Disney's Animal Kingdom (6:10). It gives a nice overview of the park, focusing on some of their grand attractions and shows, as well as featuring a few interview clips.

Also - not mentioned on the discs themselves, but in the packaging (the "These Titles Coming Soon" card and on the cardboard bits holding the DVDs) - they mention that Secrets of Disneyland disc that everyone was talking about a little bit ago.

Has Anyone else had problems finding copies at local retailers?

Yeah, I did - well, at least at the one place I stopped on the way home. The Worst Buy near work only had volumes 3 and 4 of the series - which was fine for me, since I'm still broke from my london trip and was only going to pick up one this week.

Mr. Case,

Kindly remove the super genius part of your moniker until you have 550 posts and have earned the super genius.

Congrats on the autographed DVDs. Now I am just curious. Will the Autograph be on the outside packaging meaning if you take off the outside plastic wrap will the autograph be taken off to? Or when the DVD's were bought did your friend open them up and have them sign one of the inserts or could anyone else answer this question for me?

Because if he signed the Plastic Wrap then you probably wouldn't want to open them up and watch them

[DisneyDVDFAN]

No she was going to let him sign the outer cover but some people on the line suggested since the cover will be handled alot so she got him to sign the inserts i will post pictures once i have them ...

Now I get two strange emails. The first tells me my Legacy set has been delayed.

Shortly afterwards, I get another email telling me they've shipped.

Go figure.

[PixarFan2006]

By any chance, can anyone post what the disc art looks like for any of the True Life Adventures dvds?

Thanks.

Glad to hear the 'zon came through for you. Judging from orders shipped vs. orders fulfilled on the TLAs, a majority of people have been waiting like you. Though it is possible some have grouped them together with the Treasures, I think the more likely thing is that their supply hasn't met the demand. I bet their interview with Roy has helped account for that.

Well after having stared at my Legacy DVDs for the past couple of days, but resisting the temptation to watch them until my work was done, I finally cracked. My work isn't done but I've watched White Wilderness and Water Birds anyway! And oh my God! I can't believe the restoration job that's been done on these! I mean in White Wilderness the scenes of the white snow and clear blue skies look absolutely stunning, I was literally amazed at how good these look, particularly compared Water Birds to the hideous transfer on the Rescuers DVD! They honestly look like the could've been filmed yesterday!

Disney have done good!

I like how the TLA films look amazing, but they still definitely look like they were shot in the 50s and 60s. Sometimes films are over-restored, but in this case it was perfect. It still retains the look that I associate with old nature films.

By the way, did anyone else notice that the Oswald set says "Volume 1" on it?

Yes I did notice. There are a lot of Oswald cartoons, about as many as Mickey as I remember. While the cartoons in between Walt and Lantz may be uninteresting, I certainly would not mind a volume or two of Lantz work as well.

Picked up my sets today at Best Buy for $24.99 each. My Costco is next door so I popped in to see the price they were offering (usually BB is cheaper the week of release, and then Costco is the price winner long-term), and was surprised to see they didn't have them out. They always have a good stock of treasures, so maybe they'll show up next week (perhaps a less-than-informed stock person thought they had to wait until the 12th along with the other tins).

Looking forward to diving into these!

But would that have any place in a Disney collection?

[ichabod]

Precisely what I was thinking, quite frankly The only Oswald's I would be interested in are the 26 Walt ones. They can do what they like with the rest!

We figured out earlier in this thread (Nov 24) that a majority of those 26 are lost. I'd be happy to see that proven wrong, though.

Why not - Disney owns them, Disney created them. Whats the difference between Frank and Ollie or Walter Lantz doing them?

Oh yes, I'm well aware that many are lost, but those 26 are the ones I'm interested in. Plus, you never know Disney may have had a copy of all 26 in its vault all along, but never piped up! At least i hope!

All right, I'm a bit "puzzled" here - maybe you could fill us in about that?

[Mr. Toad]

What specifically are you puzzled about?
