Today in History: Disney
This irresistible read is packed with fun facts and tasty tidbits about Disney, from stories about the entertainment empire’s founding family to the inspiration for many of the popular theme park attractions. Memorable dates include: • May 11, 1904 â€" The great surrealist painter Salvador Dali was born in Igueras, Catalonia. His 1946 collaboration with Walt Disney was one of the most unusual partnerships in the entertainment industry. • December 2, 1929 â€" The Haunted House, in which Mickey Mouse takes shelter from the storm in what turns out to be a well populated mansion, was released in theaters. This movie was the first time animators created what was to become a popular Disney setting. • January 9, 1937 â€" The release of Donald Duck's second film, Don Donald, proved that Donald was capable of carrying a series without any help from Mickey. It also served as the debut vehicle for a ducky girlfriend called Donna, who was later renamed Daisy. Released to coincide with the company's 18-month-long 50th anniversary celebrations, Today in History: Disney has something for Disney fans of every generation.

Walt Disney's It's a Small World of Fun, Vol. 4
Studio: Buena Vista Home Video Release Date: 02/13/2007 Run time: 54 minutes
Customer Review: Brief but fun, only for those without the Treasures DVDs.
Nothing new, for the casual fan or devoted fan who must have everything Disney 1) THE RELUCTANT DRAGON - a cartoon excerpt from the feature of the same name. It is about a poetry loving dragon. ***NOTE*** The Amazon synopsis about Robert Benchley giving a tour through the Disney Studios is erronious, that applies to the feature version of this title. Only the 20 minute cartoon from that feature is included on this DVD compilation. 2) THE GODDESS OF SPRING - a 1934 Silly Symphony that just got released to DVD this past December on the "Disney Treasures Silly Symphonies Volume 2". An enjoyable fantasy tale that may be a little slow for today's video game kids. 3) THE LITTLE HOUSE - a 1952 special already released on the "Disney Treasures Rarities DVD". 4) FOR WHOME THE BULLS TOIL - Goofy's 1953 classic bullfighting cartoon was previously released on his out-of-print "Disney Treasures Complete Goofy" DVD. 5) POLAR TRAPPERS - 1938, Donald & Goofy head to the frozen north to do some trapping. This was already released on the now out-of-print "Disney Treasures Chronological Donald Volume 1" DVD.
