Well for the Mickey and the Beanstalk narration, I swear...I swear to you-know-who that when I was a kid in the 70s, there was a tv version that was narrated by Sterling Holloway, not Edgar Bergen and not Ludwig. Does anyone remember seeing that? I may be mistaken, but I do know for sure that the Holloway narration turned up on the Disneyland book and record set of Mickey and the beanstalk...

I 'd rather see the Holloway version than the Ludwig version (the differences in animation clash horribly!)

I'm not certain, because I haven't seen the show in years and no longer have it in my collection - but I believe the show you are thinking of is "Adventures Of Mickey Mouse" (10/12/55), which as been shown on the Disney Channel. I also remember Sterling Holloway narrating that animation and that's the only show I can find. See my posts on TV Animation - The Walt Disney Years for a description of that show (show #8).

Unfortunately it will take 4-10 days for them to arrive.

I know of 3 different versions. The original one in Fun and Fancy Free, narrated by Edgar Bergen, and 2 other versions that appeared on TV. One replaced all of the live action and narration with Ludwig Von Drake, and the other was narrated by Sterling Holloway.

As a fan of the treasures from the beginning, who has anticipated this set since the concept of the "Disney Treasures" was announced, I want to thank you for an excellent review. I can see libraries, universities, and any other orginization that seeks a greater knowledge about history and our place in relation to that history, picking up this set for its immense historic :!: value. A great debt is owed to Mr. Maltin and his friends at BVHE.

I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask this but how much will the Treasures cost at stores like Target? Where are you guys gonna get yours from?
