Does anyone know if Disney Treasures Wave 3 will have a Play All function (which Wave 1 did, but Wave 2 did not)? I really like to be able to pick chronological or alphabetical and then Play All instead of having to use the remote for EVERY cartoon. If you have children/nieces/nephews you want to show them to having to come back in the room every 7-8 minutes to play the next cartoon is a royal pain.

These cartoons are not for kids. They may have objectionable content on them. These sets are for classic animation buffs or classic Disney fans only, pretty much.buffalobill wrote:Does anyone know if Disney Treasures Wave 3 will have a Play All function (which Wave 1 did, but Wave 2 did not)?

But that doesn't mean children shouldn't watch them. I sure back in the 20's, 30's, 40's that children saw the cartoons, so, while the set is geared towards collectors, and animation buffs, I think children would get more of a kick from the shorts than some regular joe who picks the title up...

I think Disney's (and Dacp's) point is that the cartoons have material which is deemed to be unsuitable in these more enlightened times - and as such should not be used as a "television babysitter" like lots of animated films these days are.
Sure children can watch them. Children can enjoy them. But it is wrong just to sit a kid down infront of the television and leave them alone after first hitting the "play all" button. At least removing the "play all" feature discourages this and also encourages parental participation.

The TV babysitter just encourages the view that children are empty vessels waiting to be filled by TV.
Especially with the Frontlines set, there needs to be some kind of parental involvement...to put them in context (unless Uncle Leonard acts as the guardian)

mmilc volume 2 is ginna be 345 min according to the info on the disnewy movie finder yay!!! , on the front lines is 210 minutes an tomorrowland is 240 min also heres mre info bout mickey

The celebration of Mickey's color capers continues in this second volume of shorts -- from "Society Dog Show" in 1939 to his last short, "The Simple Things" in 1953 -- and feature film appearances, giving you a decidedly colorful history of the most famous mouse in the world. This outstanding review of Mickey's color career spotlights some very special features, including his groundbreaking performance in "The Sorcerer's Apprentice." You'll also get an inside look at Mickey's recent career through the eyes of his most recent animators, Mark Henn and Andreas Deja, and voice actors Wayne Allwine (Mickey) and Russi Taylor (Minnie). Featuring exclusive introductions by film historian Leonard Maltin, this is a timeless collection from generations past for generations to come.

And Donald 275 min (as posted above). MMILC2 is going to be one hell of a set. I think I am looking foward to them all equally for various reasons (except for Tomorrowland, which I'm feeling neutral about, but getting for completeness sake and the fact I will kick myself hard if I don't pick it up and can't later).Choco Bear wrote:mmilc volume 2 is ginna be 345 min according to the info on the disnewy movie finder yay!!! , on the front lines is 210 minutes an tomorrowland is 240 min
Actually, the only thing I don't like about the Treasures is the fact they ARE limited. If the idea is to preserve the archives for the ages, why then limit it to a select number of people? I suppose the market isn't that big, but it is certainly larger than what has been pressed.
Anyways, thanks for the additional detail, CB!

It's rumored that the Treasures will be eventually re-released in non-limited versions without the tins and at a lower price. I hope it happens.

Look's like Prince Phillip may get his wish. Looks like the Sorcerer's Apprentice and Mickey and the Beanstalk film segments may be included.Choco Bear wrote:mmilc volume 2 is ginna be 345 min according to the info on the disnewy movie finder yay!!! , on the front lines is 210 minutes an tomorrowland is 240 minThe celebration of Mickey's color capers continues in this second volume of shorts -- from "Society Dog Show" in 1939 to his last short, "The Simple Things" in 1953 -- and feature film appearances, giving you a decidedly colorful history of the most famous mouse in the world.

I hope the special features make at least passing references to Mouseworks and House of Mouse. I'm looking forward to the Wayne Allwine and Russi Taylor interviews - I enjoyed the Bill Farmer one on the Goofy set.
Now who thinks Mickey Mouse Disco will be an Easter Egg?

I was actually wondering that the other day when I saw a few references to it in some 'Encylopedia of Animated Disney Characters' I got out of the library.2099net wrote: Now who thinks Mickey Mouse Disco will be an Easter Egg?
This set looks even more impressive and comprehensive than I originally thought.
Can' t wait!

Based on the Amazon sales rankings, it looks like the Donald Set is going to tbe the first to sell out of this batch of discs.

Based on orders placed through the site, MM Vol 2 is the top seller, followed by Front Lines, Donald, and then Tomorrowland. Although the difference among the four is small.

Why are they including Mickey's feature film appearences? That is so stupid. There is no need to break up movies like that. This set definitely seems like the most disappointing set so far. They should include "Mickey Mouse Disco" or some bonus B&W shorts if they wanted to make it special. Good God, I think I have seen the Sorceror's Apprentice about 45 million times. I won't even watch it on the DVD. What a waste of space...

They probably won't include the 2 films segments (Fantasia, Fun and Fancy Free) on the disc. It's possible they will be discussed in the supplements and illustrated with the odd clip or two.
Based on the Goofy selection (How to Ride A Horse not being included) I doubt the two films segments will be included. But you never know.

Ordered them this week myself. At least you know you're getting them rather than play the game of fighting to find them all at retail!jabroni76 wrote:Well, I'm sure all of no one will care, but I just ordered all four of the Treasures...
