Do any of the Disney Animation Collections contain new material not found on the Treasuries besides Mickey's Christmas Carol (Collection 7)? I could probably research this for an hour or two, but figured someone here might know right off the bat.

Well, I gave up and did the research. It seems that even if you had all the Disney Treasures, you would still need Disney Animation Collections 5, 6, 7, 8, & 9:

I think the Treasures releases (the tins) feature all shorts in OAR. I know "Mickey's Christmas Carol" was 1.78:1 and has only been released in the Treasures line. All other releases are an inferior print, cropped to 1.33:1

About the only thing outside of the Treasures that needs to be picked up shorts-wise, is the Classic Cartoon Favorites, Vol. 4 - Starring Chip 'n Dale which has one or two shorts that didn't make it elsewhere. Otherwise, the Treasures along with the regular feature releases are pretty comprehensive.

Damn, those bring back memories. Guess I'm gonna have to start getting all of those.

gonna have to start? Good luck with those out of print titles!

And expect to pay an arm and leg for them too, no matter where you find them, due to its rarity on the market now.

Vol. 7: 3. The Small One - Not on any Disney Treasures

Vol. 9: 6. Lend a Pew (First thing, it's "Lend a Paw" not Pew) It's on Disney Treasures Complete Pluto Vol. 1.

The only other animation I know that's not on any Treasure sets are 3 solo Chip n Dale. 2 of the 3 ("Chickens in the Rough" and "Two Chips and a Miss") are on Disney Classic Cartoon Favorites Vol. 4. The third one "Lone Chipmunks" is not available on dvd.

The rest of the Chip n Dale shorts are on the Treasures, split up between the Mickey, Pluto and Donald.


The only other animated short I know of that's not on a Treasure set or Animation Collections is the Oscar nominated "Little Match Girl". The only dvd it's on is The Little Mermaid platinum edition 2-disc.

So I recently realized I had a bunch of Disney Movie Rewards points sitting in my DVD cases, so I entered them all in and I now have 1600 points (including 100 for my birthday the other day). I've been trying to find a DVD to use them on, and Fun and Fancy Free caught my eye. What exactly kind of film is it? Can anyone point me to a review from a Disney or animation fan?

Also, is it duplicated on any of the Treasures discs? I have all of the animated Treasures.

thanks

Thanks, looks like Mickey and the Beanstalk is on one of the Disney Treasures, don't feel like buying F&FF just for the one other film.

I'll keep looking.

The Small One is also on Classic Cartoon Favorites, Vol. 9 - Classic Holiday Stories which is selling cheap used on the secondary market.
