Originally Posted By avromark I had to order mine online, on release no stores had one here. But then again this wave is VERY limited in print compared to the other waves.

Same goes for the vast majority of people out there, who don't have any idea who Oswald is.

Originally Posted By jonvn I got the Oswald DVD. I made it through maybe 2 cartoons. My son, though, laughed a lot at Steamboat Willie. I was amazed. It's an 80 year old cartoon still making kids laugh. The Oswalds were tough sledding, though. But the movie about Ub Iwerks was great. That was worth the price of the disks.

Originally Posted By FerretAfros I would assume it is, since I don't think there have been too many documentaries made about him.

While I thought I knew a fair amount about him, I had no idea he was involved with the special effects for The Birds. While they look dated today, they led the way for modern techniques. I also didn't know that he got a lifetime achievement award from the MPAA, or that he got an entire award named after him. He's done some pretty amazing things, but people just don't know who he is. Because of that, I would assume that there's really only been one attempt at making a documentary about him, which would be the one on the DVD, and probably the same one you saw.
