A few years ago, Disney started releasing a series of dvd's called 'Walt Disney Treasures', they came in a very nice silver/gray box with a small portrait in the middle. It had serious 'older Hollywood' vibes. These dvd's contained videos of some of the smaller things Disney did that would never get covered by a major Disney release. They had stuff like Goofy themed ones where it was a bunch of Goofy shorts, Donald shorts, and 'documentaries' about stuff like Disney Land

They were coming out in waves but then... nothing. And Disney or Maltin hasn't seemed to say one way or another if the series is dead or going to come back. It's a real bummer too because I honestly believe it's the most interesting DVD's Disney has ever put out, and like most Disney releases, they are incredibly overpriced to get a hold of now, and it'll only get worse.

I would love to have some of these on Blu, especially the WW2 set. But it'll never happen cause nobody cares anymore.

 

[Secret Fawful]

I care, and I have friends who would love to own these. The Ub Iwerks documentary on the Oswald DVD is amazing.

I have some. They were canceled because Disney realized they could make a whole lot more money by releasing largely the same content over-and-over-again with one or two pieces of "new" content on a small DVD set rather than those awesome bulk releases.

Found out about these way too late in the game, would have been awesome to own a few.

Hopefully they'll realize it's 2012 and put it back on the market forever and also explore HD/digial options. But they probably won't, because this is Disney we're talking about. Awful company.

I'm a big Mickey fan, so I bought all of the Mickey releases, and they weren't exactly cheap, let me tell you. I think that had something to do with their eventual discontinuation, it's kind of hard for the average person who has a marginal interest at best in Disney to shell out that kind of money during the recent economy, and Disney can't survive just on selling these sets to collectors.

Warners went through the same thing with the Looney Tunes Golden Collections, the first few sold well, and the last couple didn't. They discontinued the series after about half of the filmography had been released, and fans wondered for a few years if we'd see more LT DVDs.

Putting them in and out if the imaginary vault, lol.

They died off, even if they were around they were doing old shows. I think Zorro or something was the last one 2 years ago or so by now. I got the complete collection from the D23 club instead of singles. I think it's a lot cheaper even at $500.

Edit: Fuck, that's discontinued also and going for like over $1000 new. I knew I should have bought two.

 

[eLGee]

I have "The Chronological Donald" vol 1 and 2, #Mickey Mouse in Black and White#, and "In living color" vol 1 & 2, "The Complete Goofy", "On the Front Lines" and "Tomorrowland".

I'm particularly proud of owning the last one, since it was a really limited print.

Yep. Awful company with their ridiculous ''vaulting'' practices.

Is be fine with that but that's my point. this is real niche stuff and it likely won't be released

 

[Curtisaur]

The vault bullshit is stupid... and why I own no Disney films. Fucking dickheads.

 

[bjork]

Nevermind these, where the hell is the last DuckTales box!

Nevermind these, where the hell is the last DuckTales box!

With the Quack Pack DVDs, and the third season of Perfect Strangers, and the other seasons of Family Matters.

I can't take Disney serious until they release "The song of the south".
