Originally Posted By AladdinAZ It wasn't Leonard, that you were calling sweetness. hee hee Looks like that will be a fun collection. I wonder which "behind the scenes" episodes. MM B&W VOL 1, guess that means we'll have to wait another year for Vol 2. (Not to mention no Song of the South) I wonder about the War Episodes, if they will be actually unedited, or "unedited" like the current Disneyland Treasure.

I didn't expect the Mouseketeers or the Enchanted Tiki Room to be edited on the first batch of Disney Treasures. I would hope that titles like "Der Fuehrer's Face" and "Reason and Emotion" are included. Anyway, the themes for these new DVD collections sound like a lot of fun. (Although I hope Donald Duck doesn't get angry at his omission.)

Originally Posted By kevinmichael I'm looking forward to seeing Victory through Air Power. Will they be including Der Fuhrer's Face also? I saw a screening of it at the Smithsonian as part of a 50th anniversary WWII exhibit. Interesting stuff.
Originally Posted By Dlmusic Sounds like a great four-set, although the Behind the scenes one sounds a bit boring. Couldn't they have just released Reluctant Dragon on it's own with some special features? It doesn't to me quite fit in the category of Treasures like the first four. Anyway I'm certainly going to buy them all.
Originally Posted By TheMadHatter I'm disappointed about the True-Life omition...as well as the rumored Dr Syn, alias The Scarecrow (I guess I'll have to digitize my copies of the series now) :-( But I am happy to hear about the WWII footage. The B/W Mickey Mouse will most likely be the same shorts on my Mickey laserdisc box set. So I'm not as concerned about that release (Even though I'll prob get it as well) ;-)

Originally Posted By toon-fan <<Will they be including Der Fuhrer's Face also?>> I think that the Disney Treasures label, with its limited editions, has the opportunity to become a treasure trove of material that die-hard fans want, but things that will not sell with the numbers expected for the Platinum Editions. Disney Treasures and the Platinum DVDs are going for different audiences, and each does have their place. I hope that the Treasures maintain the integrity of the original material and include things like Der Fuehrer's Face. Rather than seeing things edited (or even excluded) to fit current sensibilities, much of the Treasures audience would prefer to see the material intact, knowing that it was in tune with the times. I think the contents of Wartime Disney may give an indication as to whether we can hope that Song of the South might ever be released as a Disney Treasure.
