Tokyo Disneyland: Disney's Dreams on Parade
Customer Review: Tokyo Disneyland Dreams on Parde - Moving On
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000P6XRR2/ref=cm_cr_rev_prod_img This album from the Tokyo park is basically the daily parade - "Moving On". Whilst the tune is jolly: "A Kingdom of Dreams and Magic, It's a Kingdom of Magic & Dreams!". It gets tedious as the repetative song sandwiches the more well known Disney tunes between it - obviously where the floats are inserted in the parade. Disney are too fond of doing this these days with all their parks instead of being a bit more innovative with the music - think "Spectromagic".For me it began to get like "It's a small world" - annoying after 15 minutes or so. If I was at the park, I think I would have wandered off to do one of the rides long before the end of the parade.


Walt Disney Treasures - The Complete Pluto, Volume Two
Unlike the other animal characters in Disney's cartoon repertory company who served as substitute humans, Pluto remained a dog. Although he began as Mickey Mouse's companion, he was soon given films of his own: Mickey and Minnie appear in only a few of these cartoons from the late '40s and early '50s. Most of the stories follow the pattern animator Norm Ferguson set in "Playful Pluto" (1934). The hectored hound has to cope with either a recalcitrant object or an adorable but problematic animal: a little bird in "Pluto's Fledgling," the embarrassing pink sweater Minnie knits in "Pluto's Sweater," Chip an' Dale in "Food for Feudin'." The animation in these shorts is polished and subtle: the animators capture the nuances of a change in expression as skillfully as the rhythm of a run. But the humor feels very tame. While director Charles Nichols and his staff made beautiful, amusing films, the artists at Warner Bros. and MGM were pioneering a brasher, faster-paced style of cartoon that was much funnier.

The extras are generally interesting but some of the choices are odd: Pluto doesn't appear in some cartoons. Animator Andreas Deja offers an interesting commentary on "Hawaiian Holiday" (1937), but the film isn't shown in its entirety. Similarly, the pencil test from "Pluto's Judgment Day" (1935) provides a rare look at the animators' drawing, but the finished film isn't included. The Complete Pluto, Volume Two is well worth having, but it's not likely to provide many belly laughs. (Rated G, suitable for ages 5 and older: cartoon violence, minor ethnic stereotypes) --Charles Solomon
Customer Review: Disney's Pluto
I'm a fan of animation. And what collection would be complete without the Disney shorts from times past. A most enjoyable diversion with educational special features. The shorts are charming just as Disney intended. Not as edgy as the Warner Brothers/MGM bunch but they did occupy a different market nich.
Customer Review: Perfect Collection- these are timeless!!!
This brought back so many childhood memories and i can not wait to share it with my little boy as soon as he is old enough to watch.
