<center><b><u>DISNEY RARITIES, CELEBRATED SHORTS 1920s-1960s</b></u></center>
This fascinating volume features some of Walt’s most unique animated triumphs. Included are several of Walt’s “The
Alice Comedies,” a pioneering series of early short films that combined live-action and animation. These wonderful,
lesser-known unique films pre-date much of the work that would make him world-famous. “Alice’s Wonderland” is one
of Walt’s very first films.
Fans will enjoy the unique animation of “Toot, Whistle, Plunk and Boom,” which won an Academy Award® (Best Short
Subject (Cartoon) 1953) and was the first cartoon produced in Cinemascope. This short film established a completely
new animation style for the Studio. DISNEY RARITIES, CELEBRATED SHORTS 1920s-1960s showcases a large
collection of Walt’s outstanding animated shorts that fans may not be aware of.
Bonus features include: “Alice’s Cartoon World” in which Leonard Maltin discusses Disney’s historic “Alice” shorts
with Virginia Davis who played the original Alice when she was 4-years old; “From Kansas City to Hollywood” – a
timeline of Walt’s silent era; “A Feather In His Collar” a rarely seen short supporting the Community Chest; audio
commentary for “A Symposium On Popular Songs” by composer Richard Sherman, and still frame galleries.
