Rate the Walt Disney Treasures sets?

[DDMAN26]

Granted in two months the best set is going to be released, but for now let's focus on the seven titles that have been released.

I currently own six of the seven titles. I was never a big fan of Davy Crockett, so I never picked up that title. But my favorites are as follows:

1. The Complete Goofy-Goofy maybe my favorite cartoon character of all-time(although a certain WB rabbit is close), but I just love this set. I watch it at least once a month.

2. Behind the Scenes at the Walt Disney Studios-Mostly for the second disc, I love love love Tricks of our Trade and The Plausible Impossible. The first disc is worth it for The Reclutant Dragon. Plus who can't get enough of Uncle Walt.

3. Disneyland USA-Four great show that are just a blast to watch. And it's really cool to see how the park grew in ten years.

4. Mickey Mouse in Living Color-Who doesn't love the Mouse. Just a joy to watch.

5. Mickey Mouse in Black and White-Steamboat Willie the one that started it all. Very entertaining shorts.

6. Silly Symphonies-Not my favorite, as the cartoons are a little too cutesy, but still enjoyable.

1. Disneyland U.S.A. - My personal favorite. I love Disneyland, and I love these shows.

2. Mickey Mouse in Living Color Vol.1 - My FAV cartoons. The trio of Mickey, Donald, and Goofy just can't be beat.

3. Davy Crockett - Another favorite of mine. Davy rules.

4. Behind the Scenes at the Walt Disney Studio - Great discs: Reluctant Dragon in its entirety, and 4 famous Disneyland TV show episodes.

5. The Complete Goofy - The hilarity of a lot of these shorts have diminished for me since I saw them years ago for some reason, but I still like them.

6. Silly Symphonies - Not some of my favorite cartoons, but they are amusing and historically significant

7. Mickey Mouse in B&W Vol.1 - Same as Silly Symphonies.

[Mr. Toad]

1. Mickey Mouse in Living Color

2. Silly Simphonies - brilliant.

3. Mickey Mouse in Black and White

4. Disneyland USA - I am a Disneyland freak. I have been there well in to double digits and I am not even American.

5. Davey Crockett

6. Complete Goofy - for some reason I am not a big fan of the sports ones. Perhaps it is because Goofy does not speak. I much prefer the earlier work in Mickey Mouse cartoons with Pinto Colving voicing.

I one Behind the Scenes but still have not got around to watching it.

I liked the Complete Goofy tin, just wish it had a play all function like the Mickey Mouse in Living Color.

The more I watch the more my kids and I like the Silly Symphonies tin, and I like the Behind the Scenes at the Disney Studios.

1. Mickey Mouse Living Color
2. Complete Goofy
3. Silly Symphonies
4. Black & White Mickey
5. Behind the Scenes
6. Davey Crockett
7. Disneyland

My family watches them all regularly.

AGREED!

1. Mickey Mouse Living Color
2. Complete Goofy
3. Silly Symphonies
4. Black & White Mickey
5. Behind the Scenes
6. Davey Crockett
7. Disneyland

This is my EXACT list of most favorite to least favorite. The Complete Goofy would be #1 if it had a "play all" feature like Mickey Mouse in Living Color. Silly Symphonies beats out Mickey Mouse in B&W for the same reason.

1. Mickey Mouse in Living Color Vol.1 -- you've got to give the mouse his credit

2. The Complete Goofy - who doesn't love Goofy?

3. Behind the Scenes at the Walt Disney Studio - Great if for no other reason than the Reluctant Dragon!

4. Davy Crockett - Great action, but heavily romanticized history

5. Disneyland U.S.A. - I'm too in love with Walt Disney World - Disneyland is historically important, but WDW is the penultimate them park -- still from an historical standpoint this disk is important

6. Silly Symphonies - some great cartoons mixed in with so ho-hum cartoons

7. Mickey Mouse in B&W Vol.1 -- Other than Plane Crazy and Steamboat Willie it's a yawnfest for me personally

This is tough because I love them all for various reasons. After going through hell on eBay, I am a little attached to each of them, making the collection even prouder.

I hate rating stuff, but it is a little easier when I only have 7 to choose from:

1. Davy Crockett - While I bought Davy Crocket to complete my set, I was soon fascinated by this little piece of TV history. Politically incorrect it may be at times, and yes, more than a little cheesy. But goddamn if I just don't love those characters. So far, it is the only one I have watched through completely more than once.

2. Complete Goofy - easily the favourite of the animated ones

3. Behind the Scenes - I know it it's odd that I would be rating this one so highly (over other animated ones), but I really did think the Reluctant Dragon was a load of fun. It was my "first" treasures too, so it has sentimental value. I have more of an interest in behind the scenes stuff, and it was a great concept for a Treasures set.

4. Mickey Mouse in Living Colour - This one cost me the most on eBay, but was worth every penny. It is amazing to see how much animation changes between the B & W set and this one, and I don't just mean the colour. Some of my favourite toons are on here.

5. Silly Symphonies - Most of the shorts on here are pure aninmated gold, all of them masterpieces. The addition of the "play all" feature ranks this slightly above B & W, although both are great.

6. Mickey Mouse in B & W - absolutely fascinating. I mean, there are some really important historical pieces here. Not as "rewatchable" perhaps, given the repetitive nature of the original toons, but a true "Treasure". The chance of seeing any of these toons in a popular forum again is slim, so it is great to have them all preserved here.

7. Disneyland USA - to put this last is not to suggest it is BAD in any way. I find the stuff on there fascinating and entertaining, especially the Davy Crocket ho-down, but the chances of me watching it again soon are slim. Still fun to see "Ronny Reagan" getting about though...

Phew. That was hard. I changed it about 3 times in the process. I really dislike rating things, because my mood changes all the time, and one day I might really be keen on the B&W toons, the next I'm back to Crockett.

Out of the forthcoming sets, I can rank them in terms of anticipation.

1. Frontlines - I have been looking forward to this disc from before they announced it as a Treasures. I have wanted a collection of wartime toons and shorts for ages, but didn't think Disney would ever be so bold, given their policies on other films (such as SOTS). Gret to see it coming.
2. Mickey Mouse in Living Colour 2 - it looks so jam packed. Strangely, it it is the more recent cartoons that I am looking forward too. Not because I prefer new to old, but because it is the newer ones I haven't seen! I guess if you missed them in theatres, they haven't really been played in a popular forum (much) since. At least the older toons have been replayed on TV in various forms over the years.
3. Chronological Donald - probably looking forward to this just as much, but I have seen more of these than I have the above.
4. Tomorrowland - last only because I am less familiar with the content. It sounds kinda neat, actually, but I have to say I already knew which ones I'll be watching first.

[ohmahaaha]

1. Silly Symphonies - was the 1st Treasure I bought and it thoroughly enchanted me - beautiful animation.
2. Mickey in Color Vol I. - Close 2nd. All excellent cartoons, pure gold.
3. Complete Goofy - What an excellent collection, spanning the length of their golden feature years.
4. Behind the Scenes - I'd never ever seen the Reluctant Dragon until I watched this DVD and instantly loved it, but the real Treasures are the episodes from Disneyland with Walt himself.
5. Mickey in B&W - I love to play in chronological order to see the development over time (and how quickly the animators learned).
6. Davy Crockett
7. Disneyland USA

I really hate to put those 2 last though - I've thoroughly enjoyed each and every treasure more than any other DVD that I own.

[Mystique]

I'm not gonna list them all n stuff maily because I cann'e be arsed but I'll just say The Complete Goofy if my favourite.
It reminds me of when I used to be a wee' girl watching Saturday morning cartoons.
