Some Wave 3 information!

Post by jabroni76 »

Disney on the Front Line
On December 8, 1941, the Disney Studio was taken over by the military as part of the war effort. Making the most of the talent that hadn't shipped out yet, Walt Disney spent the next four years creating and producing training, propaganda and educational films for the Armed Forces. In addition to these films, this extraordinary volume also includes the full-length feature "Victory Through Air Power." Released theatrically in 1943, this powerful propaganda film has never been reissued until now. You'll also see recently discovered on-the-set footage, and get rare firsthand accounts about the work and culture at the Disney Studio in interviews with Disney Legends Joe Grant, John Hench, and Roy Disney. Featuring exclusive introductions by film historian Leonard Maltin, this is a timeless collection from generations past for generations to come.

Chronological Donald

It was 1934 when the irascible Donald Duck came to life in a teeny bit of a part in The Wise Little Hen and proceeded to steal the show. From that point on nobody could hold him back, and the much loved cranky character went on to be the most prolific of Walt's "fabulous five." Now for the first time, you can enjoy the Donald in all of his solo starring shorts from "Donald And Pluto" in 1936 to "Chef Donald" in 1941. This volume also includes a loving tribute to the man who achieved immortality by inventing the voice of Donald Duck -- and performing as his alter ego for 50 years -- Clarence "Ducky" Nash. Featuring exclusive introductions by film historian Leonard Maltin, this is a timeless collection from generations past for generations to come.

Walt's Tomorrowland

Walt Disney was a true visionary, and his most far-reaching vision examined the future. During the 1950s, his investigation into space exploration and the wondrous opportunities and challenges of space travel not only came alive in several Disneyland TV shows, but helped create strong public support for The United States space program. Go back in time to the beginning of the future and enjoy four episodes and a theatrical short that delve into the mysteries of the universe and space travel -- "Man In Space," "Man And The Moon," "Mars And Beyond," "Eyes In Outer Space," and "Our Friend The Atom." You'll also get a rare look at Walt's last film, "Epcot," in which he reveals his concepts and plans for the Disney World and EPCOT projects. Other not-to-be-missed features include a special interview with noted futurist and author Ray Bradbury. Featuring exclusive introductions by film historian Leonard Maltin, this is a timeless collection from generations past for generations to come.

Tomorrowland is the only one of the four that I was wavering on, and still am. But it does sound like a nice set. I haven't seen "Our Friend the Atom" since I was in grade school.

I've decided I'm going to take ALL my money out of the bank and go buy Parent Trap, Love Bug, Rescuers, Great Mouse Detective, and get Holes, Apple Dumpling Gang, Donald, Alice in Wonderland, and Cinderella when they come out. :lol: Actually, I'd better wait, I might get some for Christmas if I beg...

In the past I have gotten these at a Disney Store B&M for $22.99. If you have one close by, I'd check there before going anywhere else (if you don't want to order online, that is).

Oh, so the Disney store actually has some DVDs? Last time I went they had NOTHING in DVD/VHS section. And the only cool Peter Pan shirt they had was 20 sizes too small... :roll:

I have no idea yet if I'll be interested in the Tomorrowland set or not...
Does someone know more about the episodes? What are they like? Do they have original animation in them? Is "Our Friend the Atom" an educational animated short or something else?

I remember watching this animated segment on an episode of Walt Disney presents, entitled "Your Host Donald Duck", where close to the end of the show there is a brief cartoon (not an actual short, just some new animation bridging the time slots between theatrical cartoons, etc) featuring Donald Duck as an astronaut preparing for a rocketship launch. It's hosted or narrated I believe by Professor Von Drake and you see Donald sitting inside the ship as the countdown to launch begins. I forget what happens or what the point of this cartoon was but I was just curious whether anyone had seen it before (or the episode mentioned) and if so, what are the chances that this will appear on the upcoming Tomorrowland dvd set?
