A poster here who has a Disney source posted that here a couple months ago.

Does that mean, no Educational Disney set?

Posted: **Wed Jul 16, 2003 2:50 pm**

No that means it's likely not true.

No offence.

A disney educational set has not been planned but hopefully the Donald's and Goofy's will turn up on the LATER SHORTS set in 2004. (I hope, I hope, I hope...)

Prince Phillip wrote:Yeah... plus they probably thought thaty the second wave might not sell as greatly, because the average costumer wants color, making BW Mickey not as appealing to some, want Donald or Mickey, making Goofy not as appealing to some... and Well it seems to me Behind the Scenes at Disney Studios still clutters shelves around here so I think that speaks for itself...

However this wave, they are giving the customer just what they want... 1) Colorized Mickey... 2) Donald Duck... 3) More Disneyland Shows, for the older and more apreciative generation (or really avid collector ) I think we can all say the war time cartoons are going to fly off the shelves, or atleast at the same rate Silly Symphonies did... That's just my analysis anyway...

Indiana, I will continue too look around here for Goofy, but if I can't find it, would you be willing to pick it up for me, and I will reemburst you, plus shipping ... PM me with response...

Hi Prince Phillip, I've just ordered Walt Disney Treasure Goofy from Dvdboxoffice.com, they say its in Moratorium but they had it stocked anyway. I placed the order 13th July and they shipped it yesterday (16th), CAD 36.95 is ok for me...

Its about USD 27 for WDT Goofy, including shipping... (prices on dvds at dvdboxoffice inludes shipping). Its a good price from me... living in Sweden... overseas-shipping can be really expensive... I hope youll find it ok....

I just got back from the mall and found copies of Davy Crockett, Mickey Mouse in Black and White, AND Behind the Scenes at Disney Studios, too bad those are 3 out of the 4 I own.

I have Mickey Mouse in Black & White
and Behind the Scenes at Disney Studios

Last night I ordered Davy Crockett and Disneyland USA from amazon.com brand new, from the site, not a dealer

Im happy I bought them all when they were first released.

We should keep this thread at the top of the page until December..

Yeah...me too.
I can't imagine trying to complete this collection starting from scratch right now

Posted: **Thu Jul 17, 2003 5:26 pm**

With the exception of Mickey Mouse in Living Color, its not that hard, on amazon.com, you can find most of them under $40 new, from a dealer. Once I get my job, Ill finish my collection!

I never bought Disneyland or Davy Crockett, but since Disneyland is still common, why not? Do any of you recommend it?

Posted: **Thu Jul 17, 2003 10:03 pm**

Disneyland is an interesting set. My favorite episode was the broadcast of Disneyland's Grand Opening, which originally aired LIVE on ABC in 1955. I do highly recommend the Davy Crockett set. I didn't think I'd be so into it since it was such and old miniseries, but I can't imagine what it was like to wait months between each part. I also liked that although it was family oriented, it wasn't afraid of being dramatic, which made me respect it even more. [All the main characters were killed by the third episode. (The last two were based on legends written about the character in the original 3). And don't you people say that I spoiled it, because Leonard Maltin doesn't hesitate to tell you either.]

i dont know.. unless you dig it for nostalgic reasons, davy crockett will probably not be your thing if it isnt farmiliar. its really dated and the action is kinda cheesy. i love it cause i grew up with it but id probably percieve it differently if that hadnt been the case.

btw - walt mentions in the extras that he wasnt expecting the series to blow up the way it had or he wouldve never killed off the characters by episode 3.

You're right, I forgot to post that. I guess I loved it because years ago, I used to collect Disney's Sing Along Songs; I started at about age 2. The Ballad of Davy Crockett was on the very second Volume. Since then, I heard it on almost every Disney audio cassette or CD, and every time I went to Disney World, and my curiosity never stopped growing until I finally got the set this year. I liked it so much because I had been waiting so long to see it, and I find Disney nostalgia very interesting, which is why I decided last winter to collect all the Treasures, and I have succeeded; CAN'T WAIT for Donald, and I am very interested in that Front Lines Set.

I grew up watching the B&W Zorro and loved it so a Zorro treasures set would be very nice, but mostly for nostalgic reasons. Davy Crockett is the only Treasure I'm missing at the moment. Do you get to see some kind of introductions or at least the Disney land credit before each episode?
They where presented on the Disney land show as part of fronteer land right?

First off let me say that The Davy Crockett Tin is by far my favorite. I'm 31 so I cannot point to the fact that I saw the originals when they aired...I just really like these episodes and highly recommend them. Sure they're abit cheesy at times, but these are from the late 1950s (I think) so that's the kind of TV action that was "in" at the time. Can't beat a showdown with ol' Mike Fink

My father-in-law watched these episodes with me and just loved it. He was a kid in the midst of the Davy Crockett craze and remembers how excited all the kids got as the next episode drew closer. He said ALL of his buddies had a coonskin cap and that was the first major Disney merchandising bonanza that he could remember. Davy Crockett was HUGE.

IIRC, each episode does have its own intro from Walt himself and you do see the whole intro just as it appeared on TV the night they aired. And yes they were presented as a part of Disney's Frontierland.
