<b><u>THE COMPLETE PLUTO Vol. 2</b></u></center>
Mickey’s best pal Pluto stars as top dog in a new set of adventure-filled animated shorts. One of Walt’s classic characters,
Pluto has kept generations of audiences in stitches with his hilarious antics. This collection offers all the zany, madcap
comedy that Pluto is famous for, in a full-color collection that spans 1947 to 1951. Included are “Pluto’s Blue Note”
(Academy® Award nominee, Best Short Subject, 1947), “Bone Bandit,” “Pluto’s Sweater,” “Figaro and Cleo” and “Cat
Nap Pluto.”

Bonus materials include: a “master class” with modern-day Disney animation masters Randy Cartwright and Andreas
Deja. Randy discusses “Bone Trouble” and Andreas discusses “Hawaiian Holiday” – it’s a class all Disney fans will want
to attend!

Plus, there is “Pluto’s Process” – a deconstruction of the shorts “Pluto’s Judgment Day,” along with a fascinating, very
rare pencil test from this short. Also featured are extensive production art galleries.

<b><u>THE MICKEY MOUSE CLUB FEATURING THE HARDY BOYS</b></u></center>
Adventures from the famous Hardy Boys books were serialized on the Mickey Mouse Club, and this Walt Disney
Treasures volume includes the complete Hardy Boys debut serial from 1956-1957, “The Mystery of the Applegate

Frank Hardy, and Tommy Kirk (“Old Yeller,” “Swiss Family Robinson” and many more) as Joe Hardy. The boys, both
amateur detectives, are the sons of a famous sleuth who tells them that detective work is too dangerous for boys. But that
doesn’t stop them from going on a rousing quest to find a legendary treasure. Based on the best-selling book series by the
mysterious writer, F.W. Dixon, “The Mystery of the Applegate Treasure” is fun live-action adventure for the whole
family.

Bonus features include: “From Dixon to Disney” on the Hardy Boys’ journey from print to TV; “The Hardy Boys
Unmasked” featurette; and production galleries.

Yay! We've finally got announcements for these, but it's not good that they don't include the shots on it. I want to know exactly what's on the Silly Symphonies volume! Still, it's nice that they've issued them, and let's hope that they update them to be much more thorough.
-James

Well, based on what I read earlier, the Silly Symphonies volume is supposed to include the rest, so I really hope it does.

It's a shame there's no list of contents to make us salivate all the more; although given the slip-up with the listing for Chronological Donald 2 and the furious speculation that resulted, maybe they're playing it safe this year.

As long as we get lots of lovely b/w Sillies and an uncut version of Broken Toys, I'll be more than happy.

Subtitles for The Goddess Of Spring so I can finally make out the lyrics to Hi-De-Hades will be nice, too.

speaking of subtitles. . . I noticed on previous treasures, especially the Duck's, that many of the captions report wrong sayings. Has anyone else noticed this? I would hope that what is said is just as important to preserve as what is seen. I imagine that many of the captionists arn't familliar with many coloquial expressions of the day. well, that's my two bits on the subject. Now to the Treasures-

AHH- finally a press release! I too, wish for a more detailed summary, as well as any screencaps, menus, and so forth. I guess we are at the mercy of marketing yet again.

Who understands what The Duck says anyway...?

Lars Vermundsberget wrote:Who understands what The Duck says anyway...?

I mean; probably not even those who make the subtitles.

Hopefully the Pluto and Silly Symphonies sets will feature completely restored and newly transferred prints ... would not be happy with another batch of sub-par transfers from some prints they had lying around.

It's nice to see these finally announced and what we do learn is exciting. I just wish Disney would have given us full content listings. (Especially for YHWD!).

-Aaron

I wonder if the "rare interview with Walt’s daughter, Diane Disney Miller" is actually what we have been waiting too see on the Secrets DVD (if it is EVER released!) ?...

I noticed the first time I went to the official site on disney.com for the "Your Host" treasure the run time for the dvd was over 500 minutes. A few days later that went down to 269 minutes. As of today it stands at 388 minutes. They are playing with my emotions. I hope we end up seeing six full length episodes plus the interview!

Any speculation on how the "censored" material will be treated?

(Each wave has demonstrated successively increased levels mandatory-view disclaimers.)

It would be nice to be able to watch the shorts without the preaching.

Is anyone of you going to get all of them, or are you gonna choose one or two?
I think I might only get the "Your Host Walt Disney"

I'm getting all of them, but am most excited for "Your Host, Walt Disney." Walt is my hero, so a whole Treasures set devoted to him is very intriguing to me. I'm also excited for "The Hardy Boys" set.

Yay! "Mother Goose Goes to Hollywood" has been included to SS volume 2! I hope Disney doesn't edit out the african american caricatures in this short. If they did, I will not be a happy camper. I'm also excited about Complete Pluto II so that means I'm getting two of them for Christmas.

Complete Pluto, Vol.2 for me.

James

I'll be getting all of them, though I don't know if I'll be able to get them all right away. I usually get them as CHristmas gifts from my parents, but when I don't, I have to get usually, 1 or 2 at a time. Haven't missed any yet though.

Any idea when Disney is supposed to provide the complete contents lists for these?

James

Not sure if they will be. In past years, the press releases were always the last thing released prior to the DVDs themselves. We may just have to wait until review copies go out, unless a revised PR is issued.

O.K. Thanks!
