It's the Disney Educatonal Products website. They have some movies and shorts that aren't available on DVDs you can buy in retail outlets:

New True-Life Adventures

Recapturing the wonder of Disney's renowned nature series of the late 1940's and '50s "Disney's New True Life Adventures Series" takes the quality and innovation of the original films to even greater heights with the amazing technologies available today. Series includes "Alaska: Dances of the Caribou," "Elephant Journey," "Sea of Sharks," and "The Everglades: Home of the Living Dinosaurs."

Are "Freeway Phobia Parts 1 & 2" not available on the "Complete Goofy" Treasure set? I just looked at the UD review and didn't see them mentioned...because they're on this DVD:

Sixty bucks for the two Freeway featurettes. Ouch.

A 28 minute version of Incredible Journey on VHS for 39.00 ouch. One of my favorite Disney movies and I might pay that for the full version that I could record on to DVD.

Thanks for all the research but that is expensive. I know there is a premium for educational and library because their is an assumption that many people will get enjoyment out of the same tape but those prices are hard to stomach.

blackcauldron85 · Post by **blackcauldron85** » Thu Feb 28, 2008 10:47 am

I didn't even realize that "The Incredible Journey" was only 28 minutes long...never mind about that one, then- I'm sure the whole movie can be bought for a few dollars on Amazon...

I find it interesting that certain films are avalable through this website, on DVD nonetheless, that Disney hasn't even sold to the regular public! If they're already on DVD, they should just put them on DVD already. Granted, we want bonus features, and these may not be restored...I just wonder if some of these films will ever be available to the general public, at not-so-rediculous prices.

I'm tempted, though, to save money for a few of these. I really liked "The Ernest Greene Story" when I was younger, and I like "The Color of Friendship". Of course, if Disney released these to the general public at a much cheaper price, I might kick myself...and then "Justin Morgan Had a Horse", "A Light in the Forest", and "The Loretta Claiborne Story" would be great to have on DVD, too...

$329 for I'm no fool set.

Okay if about 50 of us go together and somebody records it on to DVD and ships it we may make it cost effective. I want them I'm no fools.

Interestingly enough, The Walt Disney Story WAS released to DVD in 2001 at WDW as a bonus feature on their resort souvenir DVD. The print is of the original film used at the WDW attraction of the same name (no costumed Mickey intro) and in non-anamorphic widescreen. The only downside was the aspect ratio is 2:1 instead of 2.67:1. But it was still cool.

I'm shocked that you didn't say "I'm going to buy these!"!!!! Aren't you planning on getting them?!?! They're Disney DVDs that you don't have!

)

It was only during the 100 Years of Magic celebration. Also the video quality wasn't that great either, I'm really surprised this hasn't been released on a WDT set already. Maybe if they did a WDW set.

Definately not a problem. Like I said on the other thread, even for a teacher these are very expensive. Usually we don't have a big enough supplies budget to purchase something like this so unless the library does it we need to buy it out of our own pockets. I'm hoping that like Donald in Mathmagic Land that some more of these eventually come to the mass consumer at much cheaper prices. I'd especially like the animated shorts, they'd make a great Treasures set.

Donald and the Wheel was censored? I have a copy of this and watched it and couldn't find any place with obvious editing? Maybe I have an uneditied copy (::crosses fingers::). What was edited out and why?

I watched a handful of the disney educational shorts that I have on DVD:

Donald and the Wheel
Winnie the Pooh and the Seasons
Scrooge McDuck and Money
The Story of Menstruation
VD: Attack Plan
Donald in Mathemagic Land
etc.

They could totally make a Treasures set out of these programs. A lot of them were made after Walt's death, but they really are a rather itneresting part of the Disney history.

The Story of Menstration is a Disney short educational film...I'm not sure if that's what you're thinking of or not...?

There was a short film that was shown in EPCOT called, "The Making of Me" starring Martin Short. I'm not sure if it was ever shown in classrooms or available to the public though......

I remember seeing a Disney filmstrip on male sexual stuff in 5th grade. I believe there is a female one too.

While I don't have a definitive answer to this question, I believe that, like several of their educational products, Donald and the Wheel was probably updated. I know that the Donald short about fire safety was updated to reflect modern fire safety techniques, so perhaps DatW was similarly "updated."

Disney embraces education
By Wendy Wilson

Disney Educational Productions, a studio division started by Walt Disney himself more than 60 years ago, is reinvigorating its curriculum with nine new DVDs designed to be used by both classroom teachers and home schoolers.

The DVDs, available this fall, cover a variety of topics, including social studies, current events, science and language arts.

To develop engaging science content for its DVD series, the company created a joint venture with Walt Disney Imagineering, the group that designs the Disney theme park rides. Children learn about trajectory, levers, pulleys and gravity in The Science of Imagineering titles by seeing how those devices and forces work to fun effect on the theme park rides.

Among other titles included are Environmental Awareness with WALL-E, the feature film with bonus content that examines the effects of gravity on humans as well as a look at robots today, and Schoolhouse Rock: Election Edition, a compilation of the classic animated shorts pertaining to issues such as the Electoral College and women's right to vote.

A new Web site (www.disneyeducation.com), launched in conjunction with the releases.

DEP programming is designed to support U.S. National Curriculum Standards.

The next slate of titles will be available in the spring. All releases can be purchased online for $29.95 to $59.95 each.
