As a child, I can easily remember my prized possession was a Walt Disney book that my father purchased for me and it featured the chronology of the early classic Walt Disney though-provoking shorts. Some of these shorts were shown on the Disney Channel when I was younger but suffice to say, with all the fresh animation, a lot of these classics have probably been forgotten or have been released on VHS video.

Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment are now releasing a few of these shorts on DVD for the first time (some have appeared on past Disney DVD releases) . The first three volumes were released on DVD on April 7, 2009.
A lot of these short films were created between the 1920-1940’s and typically featured characters that were not reoccurring. Some were released under the “Comical Symphony” moniker of spirited shorts released between 1929-1939 which rarely featured any character dialogue but focused more on the animation accompanied by music and a singing vocal track. Disney has continued to obtain shorts today and while the majority of the short racy films are from the 1930’s through the 1950’s, volume 3 features an challenging short (”The Prince & the Pauper) from 1990.

VIDEO & AUDIO:
“Walt Disney Animation Collection” is featured with an aspect ratio of 1:33:1. These classics are available on DVD for the first time but its notable to mention that these sharp shorts have not been digitally remastered or cleaned up.
As a matter of fact, you will peer a lot of the dust and scratches of the film and some of the animation behold heavenly for being nearly 70 years old-fashioned but others survey grainy and a bit venerable. Granted, these are not classic stout featured films but I hope one of these days, many of these classics do gather cleaned up or even digitally remastered.
As for the audio, audio is featured in Dolby Digital Surround Sound. I found that on my home theater system, the best selection on my receiver to idea these moving shorts was to switch it to mono or (if you have this capability) buy stereo for all channels.
SPECIAL FEATURES:
There are no special features included on this DVD. But each volume does advance with a free collectible litho print typically of the characters from the main featured record.
JUDGMENT CALL:
As mentioned earlier in my review, my prized possession as a child was a Walt Disney booklet that covered the Walt Disney arresting shorts in chronological order and had the opportunity to spy these classics. Now as an adult with children, a lot of the animation from Walt Disney that my child sees is the latest in CG animation.
But I wanted him to sit and leer these spirited shorts with me and certain enough, he enjoyed them. These racy shorts, the majority of them are simple and have no dialogue. Impartial music and sound effects (there were a few especially all from vol. 6 that have dialogue) but nevertheless, are simple and easy to understand.
For fans of classic Walt Disney animation and you pleasing worthy have moved on away from your VHS copies, the “Walt Disney Animation Collection” is a spacious collection of your classic Disney keen shorts on DVD.
Many people who have purchased the “Walt Disney Treasures” DVD box sets from 2001, “Walt Disney’s Timeless Tales” from 2005 or the “Walt Disney’s It’s a Exiguous World of Fun!” DVD release from 2007 probably may not need any of these shorts as quite a number of them have appeared on DVD already.
But a few of the short films that are featured on the six volumes of “Walt Disney Animation Collection” have not been released on DVD until now.
Overall, It all comes down to your preference to the classic titillating shorts from long ago and whether or not you owned previous releases. For those who haven’t owned the previous Disney DVD shorts or box sets, now is a generous time to commence because a lot of the past releases have been discontinued.
Otherwise, if you are a person who already owns the previous DVD releases that absorb these shorts, unfortunately, these consuming shorts offer nothing original and are not digitally remastered. There may be a few titles on these DVD’s that have not been released before on prior Walt Disney DVD’s but it all comes down to your preference and if these episodes are worth having on DVD.
Again, it’s considerable to ticket that volume 1 and volume 3 feature titillating shorts featuring Mickey Mouse or a noted Disney curious character. So, if you are specifically looking for Mickey Mouse bewitching shorts, you will score it on those two volumes.
But if you are a parent or grandparent who wants to indicate your children or grandchildren the Walt Disney animation that you grew up with or a person who has never seen these shorts and have been enthralling about them, then definitely give “Walt Disney Animation Collection” a chance.
I wasn’t looking for the [...] box place of shorts so I was very ecstatic with what I got. Classic Disney shorts that my 4 year extinct niece loves. I remember these from when I was shrimp and they are as fun now as they were then. It doesn’t say that they were “remastered” so I didn’t quiz or want a recent looking shows. The sound was beautiful and the record was exquisite so it is getting a 4 out of 5 from me.
