Walt Disney Treasures - The Chronological Donald, Volume Two (1942

Description: Walt Disney Treasures is a series of two-disc DVD collections of Disney cartoons, television episodes and other material. They cover material from the studio's earliest days to its more recent work. There were nine waves, each containing two to four sets, for a total of 30 titles. All content is presented uncensored and uncut with digitally restored picture and remastered sound (except where noted on individual titles). In 2009, the Walt Disney Treasures series came to an end when Dick Cook left the Disney company, and the new management of Walt Disney Home Entertainment was uninterested in continuing the series. As Maltin recalled: "Of all the projects I've worked on, the Walt Disney Treasures has cut the widest swath. People love those DVDs, and over a decade since their demise people continue to ask me if they will ever be released on Blu-ray. The apparent answer is 'no', because there is no-one to champion them within the Disney company... If I had my druthers I would've continued producing and hosting Walt Disney Treasures but as it stands I'm proud of what we accomplished over nine years." Currently all Walt Disney Treasures DVDs are out of print. The Chronological Donald, Volume 2 This set covers the second leg of Donald Duck's long career, starting from 1942 to 1946, covering World War II in the process. Most international releases of this set do not include the bonus feature "From the Vault". Six of the eight cartoons are instead included in the main list of shorts, while the shorts Commando Duck and Der Fuehrer's Face are absent. The omission of these shorts have not been explained. Also omitted from the international release is the short Donald's Crime, but this omission was probably due to mistake, as all versions of The Great Mouse Detective DVD include it. The Chronological Donald, Volume Two did not receive the beautiful restoration of Volume One. Prints are worn and the image quality is visibly worse than all earlier Disney Treasures Volumes. Only 125,000 sets were produced.

He reveals how he emerged as the man behind the duck and his respect and loyalty to the Disney name.The Art and Animation of Carl Barks: Carl Barks, although he started out as a storyman for some of Donald's earliest shorts, is best known for the Donald Duck comics. Various relevant individuals give their thought on the man and his work and emphasize his influence on DuckTales (a clip from the episode "The Time Teasers" can be seen during the special) and such blockbusters as Raiders of the Lost Ark.The Volunteer Worker: An additional short dating from 1940. In this cartoon, Donald goes from door to door trying to collect money for charity, but to no avail when every door he visits slams in his face. His frustrations lead him to the personal testimony of a man he meets on the street who had once benefited from charities himself. Unlike the first Donald set, which featured the cartoon as an Easter egg, this cartoon is displayed in full view on this set.Timeline: The War Years, 1941–1945: This segment shows off a variety of things that had come out of Disney during these years, using clips and captions in the style of a newsreel.Galleries: These galleries cover assortments of concept art, storyboard sketches and background paintings from the various Donald shorts on this set.Product detailsAspect Ratio ‏ : ‎ 1.33:1Is Discontinued By Manufacturer ‏ : ‎ YesMPAA rating ‏ : ‎ Unrated (Not Rated)Product Dimensions ‏ : ‎ 8 x 6 x 1 inches; 12 ouncesDirector ‏ : ‎ Lundy, DickMedia Format ‏ : ‎ NTSC, Animated, Closed-captioned, DVD, ColorRun time ‏ : ‎ 3 hours and 50 minutesActors ‏ : ‎ Nash, ClarenceLanguage ‏ : ‎ English (Dolby Digital 2.0 Mono), Unqualified (DTS ES 6.1)Studio ‏ : ‎ Buena Vista Home Entertainment / DisneyNumber of discs ‏ : ‎ 2
