Rating:  - Good ole' Days
This is great and you can see all the cartoons you would watch growing up and it is just fun to see the real Disney.
Rating: - I love Donald Duck
I really love Donald Duck and I have waited during many years to have the opportunity to buy an only Donald Duck DVD. If you like the style of Walt Disney cartoons, it is really a good one. For me, these are also souvenirs of my youth. It is really a good DVD and the bonus with some interviews are very well done. It is a product of quality. You can buy the volumes #1, #2 and #3; they are all best buys. Micheline Anne Montreuil
Rating: - Wonderful!
Watching these classic cartoons reminds you why Disney is where it is today. They are funny, they are entertaining and they show why cartoons made before the era of political correctness and educational everything will always be better than the less than fun stuff made today. If you want to laugh out loud buy this collection!
Rating:  - Fun
Clean fun. The menu is hard to use and the dvds are not the best quality. We had to send back for a replacement.
Rating: - Donald's War Years Career
This two disc set in the Disney Treasures series picks up at the end of the first Donald themed release and follows Donald pretty much through World War II. Over the course of the two discs, we get 32 shorts from 1942 to 1946.
Only a hand full of them are directly related to the war effort. Those are collected in a special part of disc one. These eight shorts were part of the earlier DISNEY AT WAR set, but it's nice to have them here, too. Most of them find Donald enlisting in the army and his misadventures with army life. There are some funny ones, like "Fall Out - Fall In," which finds Donald trying to set up a tent and survive an overnight hike and "Vanishing Private," where Donald accidentally gets covered with invisible paint. "Der Fuehrer's Face" is included as well. It's very much a propaganda cartoon and still a little frightening.
Even the war finds its way into the rest of the shorts. For example, Donald complains about the construction of tires in "Donald's Tire Trouble." And it provides the inspiration for "The Plastics Inventor," my favorite from the set. In it, Donald builds an airplane out of plastic but discovers one drawback, it starts to melt in the rain.
Another highlight is "Donald's Crime" in which Donald wrestles with his conscience after taking his nephew's money for a date with Daisy.
As usual, Donald's temper takes over, although I rarely find I can blame him. Still, occasionally I find myself siding against him, like when he uses the lighthouse light to annoy a pelican in "Lighthouse Keeping."
Once again, this set is great. The picture is clear and the sound good. The first disc includes an episode of the "Disneyland" TV show that focused on Donald. The second disc contains an interview with Donald's current voice, Tony Anselmo, and a tribute to Carl Barks, the man who created the Donald comic books.
While Donald still isn't my favorite of the Disney characters, I laughed my way through this set. It should appeal to animation and history buffs as well as kids of all ages.
