Not sure if it's been posted about yet, but just found out about a new disney treasure coming out in december. did a search and found nothing.

Now the real question is if many of the risky shorts will be released with this. I would personally love to have "DER FUEHRER'S FACE" on dvd so that I can get rid of my crappy quality avi of it. in all, Looking forward to this.

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.

I've had this on pre-order for a little while, and I am also looking forward to some of these shorts. I'm no Disney historian or cartoon aficionado but I certainly hope that we can get a great majority, if not all, of the films that were released at the time in their unedited form.
Having had grandparents who lived through (and fought in) WWII I am really looking fwd to these as I feel it will be a way to see a little bit of what they were exposed to at the time in order to conjure up support for the war effort. Dec. 2 can't come soon enough for this set.
