![Walt Disney Treasures - Behind the Scenes at the Walt Disney Studio [DVD]](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91va12HovxL.jpg)
Product Description This volume goes inside the walls of the worlds most famous magic factory for an inside tour, via several "behind-the-scenes" films and television shows. .com As Walt Disney's fame grew during the 1930s, people wanted to know more about his studio and how the "Silly Symphonies" and Mickey Mouse shorts were created. Although Disney seldom allowed visitors, he periodically offered viewers peeks inside into the studio through the films in this collection. In 1937, Disney made A Trip Through the Walt Disney Studios for his distributor, RKO, to help the marketing campaign for Snow White. This in-house documentary was later reworked and released as a trailer for the studio's first feature as How Walt Disney Cartoons Are Made. In 1941, humorist Robert Benchley toured the studio and chatted with the artists in The Reluctant Dragon. But the film was released during a bitterly fought strike that belied its cheerful depiction of the studio. During the '50s, Walt used his studio as a backdrop for several episodes of the Disneyland TV series. "The Story of the Animated Drawing" traces the history of the medium, including re-creations of Emil Reynaud's Théâtre Optique (1892-1900) and Winsor McCay's vaudeville routine with his landmark film Gertie the Dinosaur (1914). "Tricks of Our Trade," which focuses on the creation of Sleeping Beauty, shows staged footage of four of the celebrated "Nine Old Men"--Marc Davis, Milt Kahl, Frank Thomas, and Ollie Johnston--sketching. In the DVD bonus material, host Leonard Maltin traces the development of the studio facilities from a Los Angeles garage to its present location in Burbank. Maltin also chats with Disney legend Joe Grant, who cowrote the "Baby Weems" sequence in Reluctant Dragon. Recorded at the time of Grant's 94th birthday, the artist displays the sly wit that continues to inspire animators. (Unrated: Suitable for all ages: cartoon violence) --Charles Solomon

Top Rate Disney - True Treasures!!!
This is a glorious piece of Disney history and well worth grabbing whilst you can and before the price triples like the way of the other Treasure sets. Don't be too worried if you don't get the Tin with your set as remember that is only an outer shell.The content of this set is great though wish could have been more - maybe a six DVD set. I love to see these originals shows as they were and especially the complete shows out of the Disneyland TV show with intro's and all. What we miss in todays TV!!! To see Walt again and introduce these shows as they were is magic and why I believe the entire Disneyland series - as it was - should be released on DVD - fixed up with digital restoration or not.I could hardly even remember "The Reluctant Dragon" - and to see it in full again is awesome. Don't get too caught up in the fact that some of it is in black & white - some in color - flow with the magic of Disney. The other real treats are the entire Disneyland episodes "The Story of the Animated Drawing", The Plausible Impossible", & "Tricks of Our Trade". Some great other 'Behind the Scenes' material as well. If you love Disney then you will already have this set... if thinking about it - get it and see how TV used to be - good clean fun & memories!!!

Must Have for any fan of Disney animation and Walt Disney
If you love Walt Disney, and Disney animation, you need to have this set.Includes some very rare footage, including the deleted scene from Snow White "How They Got The Soap Out Of Dopey" Lots of behind the scenes stuff, parts of the Disney Studio I didn't even get to see when I went on the D23 Disney Studio tour. But my, brings tears to my eyes favorites were the 2 episodes of the Disneyland TV Show "The Plausible Impossible" and "The Story Of The Animated Drawing", being too young (barely) to have seen the Disneyland TV show, I never really understood why America fell in love with Walt and claimed him as their own Uncle Walt, now I know why. Those episodes are so engaging, and so is good old Uncle Walt. Excellent, Awesome, Fascinating!!!

Animation Basics to entertain and help understand
I had only seen the excerpted cartoon of "The Reluctant Dragon" before. It's so good to see it in its full context. I have always enjoyed Robert Benchley (grandfather of Peter of "Jaws" fame) in the screen roles I've seen him in. Mostly he did shorts or cameo type appearances, but he's perfect to provide the framework for a look at the studios as they were in his day. The t.v. shows are good, but it's the feature film that's the highlight of this set and worth the entire price of the set.

Really fun if you are into Disney back story!
We've read a lot of the books, so there wasn't a lot that was new for us, but we definitely enjoyed seeing the video and expecially Walt.
