I would if I was 100% sure that Soccermania was on it (CDJAPAN does not list what shorts are on it). Also, I want to be 100% sure that Disney won't release Soccermania in the R1 Extreme Sports Fun DVD -- maybe they will have a last second change of heart and include the short to the U.S. and Canadian market. Of course, this is Disney we're talking about, so maybe not.

Just going over the list that Luke posted, are the ones that say "currently unavailable on DVD" worth getting these dvds? I don't remember these.

I'd say no - but that's because they'll most probably be available in the Treasures eventually.

I think those shorts are good, such as No Sail or Donald's Dilemma.

The Disney website from Japan lists the shorts. It's on the DVD:

Huge disappointment. The R4 version of "Extreme Sports Fun," which I own and have reviewed for a website, is an excellent collection (if only because of "Soccermania," but having the stand-alone "How to Ride A Horse" is nice too). Disney's decision not to include "Soccermania" will hopefully hurt sales more than they would think. Make sure Disney knows where we stand on this.

The 2nd batch of the "Classic Cartoon Favorites"

I see absolutely no reason to pick up these DVD's. I mean its OK if you missed out on the Treasures to pick them up or if you just want a sampeling of the Disney cartoons or if you have youngsters, but if people own the Treasures or have no youngsters then I see no reason why they should buy these DVDs. Besides, the cartoons that are new to DVD will show up on the Treasures Eventually. Don't get me wrong I love disney cartoons but I have the Treasures so these are just a waist of Money!

I won't be getting any of these, or any walt disney treasures. I'm sorry, but I'd rather get animated classics than any of these obscure cartoons.

Ehm... "Obscurity is in the eye of the beholder", I guess - these are certainly animated classics.

Like bd3, though, I prefer the Treasures over the CCFs.

What's your definition of an animated classic? Alan, I know it's your opinion, and I respect that, but how many of these cartoons have you watched exactly? Whether or not something is an animated classic doesn't depend on whether it's something like a feature film or a little cartoon like these.
Alan wrote:but the treasures are expensive.
They're also jam-freakin-packed with bonus features, and they have many more cartoons on them than the barebones CCF DVDs, which is probably why Lars wants them more.
