No, it´s not availible on DVD - a pity!
Maybe it will be included in a future Disney Treasure DVD set.

wasn't there a brief segment about them on MMILC? was this from that movie? probably not... Well, maybe we will see more on them, though, as disney seems to have no respect for their animators now a days, we may not, as it may not seem worth their time

no is not part of this video.

Well, I would love to see a video of them on DVD and one on Ub Iwerks...

Those two would ROCK! TOTALLY!

There are, of course, the Flip The Frog Cartoons Time Forgot DVDs, plus I just found out about this VHS:

don't know if you already own those.

Both Frank and Ollie and The Hand behind the Mouse is really beautiful, and I hope we will have them on DVD someday!

Yeah, I saw the dvd's on the Flip the Frog, and probably will buy them soon... The VHS however, I haven't seen, thanks!

Have you seen this Jabroni76?

It's VHS but might interest you.

Who knows, a cartoon may be on which features Pete!

Wow, I thought those were lost, or not owned by disney or something...

Any chance there will be a Treasures Set of the Alice Comedies?

I think most are lost. They are not owned by Disney but Public Domain (but I understand Disney does hold some negatives of the surviving cartoons - but I may be wrong on this).

I would love to see a Treasures set called "Before Mickey" or something - a few Alice Comedies (especially one including Pete!), and the VHS documentaries on Ub Iwerks and Walt himself. Perhaps Disney could licence an Oswald or two from Universal? Who are desperate to sell the family silver at the moment!

whoa, that is nice Netster... Too much stuff too buy, and too little money!

Posted: **Mon Jul 14, 2003 3:51 pm**

According to Teemings "Alice on the Farm" included on the VHS includes Pete!

Sadly I don't have a VHS anymore, and when I did, it wouldn't play NTSC tapes. Plus, I don't want to have to pay EBAY prices for the tape in the first place.

Sorry I mentioned it now

haha.. I did one search on eBay, and found nothing, although I have found a ton of other stuff I might buy soon, off of eBay!

... if the price doesn't go too high!

Just in case anyone is interested, Frank and Ollie are now the only two survivors of the orginal Nine Old Men and still live next to each other in La Canada, California. Their bodies have given way somewhat, however, they are still sharp as tacks!!

They love to hear from fans and have a lot of interesting stuff on their website at www.frankanollie.com. Please check out their site.

Yeah, I visit that site too much, good guys they are... Up there with Ub...

Thanks for reminding me to go there again...

I just spoke to the webmaster over at frankanollie.com and he stated that the DVD is coming before the end of year (courtesy of Disney) with extra features! I guess we can all retire our VHS copies soon!

Posted: **Sat Jul 19, 2003 3:01 pm**

I really really hope so!

Posted: **Sat Jul 19, 2003 3:13 pm**

I really hope so-I love the documentaries like "Walt: Man Behind the Myth". I'd been looking for "Ub Iwerks: Hand Behind the Mouse" when I heard about this one. Hope it gets a re-release!

somehow i wonder if when disney released The Relectuant Dragon, Frank and Ollie, and the Walt Disney documentary did that gave them the idea to release the Walt Disney Treasures?
