There are about as many Pluto shorts as there are Goofy shorts. We did get a Complete Goofy, so a Complete Pluto seems very likely.
Given that we'll get the Complete Pluto and the remaining Mickey Mouse next December, I'd say we're only missing Silly Symphonies Volume Two, two or three more volumes of Donald Duck and the one set of classic shorts that don't fit into the other categories.
To my knowledge no one is being forced to buy all the Treasures, so it's perfectly acceptable to buy just some of them. IMO only the ones with the cartoon shorts are truly "essential", but all of the rest contibute to a better understanding of Walt Disney's work, and that's worth a lot to me. And, for the record, I've enjoyed all of the Treasures. If someone doesn't like Tomorrowland, it's possible to sell it to someone else. What's hypocritical about it? Some may not enjoy or appreciate it, but even though it's very different from the "classic" cartoon shorts, there is a lot of greatness in the Tomorrowland set IMO.
About the True-Life Adventures: One reason for a set with the (30 min) shorts and none of the features would be that the seven shorts were also the seven first True-Life Adventures. Either way, I'm looking forward to this set.
If you want knowledge and understanding of Walt Disney's work in Walt Disney's time you should have (and love) all of the Treasures. The Disney company uses a lot of big words in their marketing. "Treasures" is one of few that have any real meaning to me.

Not always. Look at the way they butchered Disneyland USA. Including the “don’t try this at home” screenLars Vermundsberget wrote:If you want knowledge and understanding of Walt Disney's work in Walt Disney's time you should have (and love) all of the Treasures.

I love that tin. It still includes "treasures", but the fact that they "butchered" it shows a different problem.True. That particular one may not be quite in the "Treasure" class - the one exception.

Sure, I agree. There are "lovable treasures" included in the set, even if the execution of certain parts, therefore the set as a whole, may not be quite up to the standard of the other sets.mvealf wrote:Class316 wrote: Not always.
