Walt Disney Treasures - The Chronological Donald, Volume One [1934

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 1 This set covers the first leg of Donald Duck's long career, from 1934 to 1941. This was one of the few "Treasures" sets released abroad, as well as in the United States, on May 18, 2004. Only 165,000 sets were produced.
