Walt Disney Treasures: Wave One


The first wave of Walt Disney Treasures was released on December 4, 2001. It includes four different DVD sets.

This set covers the first leg of Mickey Mouse's color career, from 1935 to 1938.

150,000 sets produced.

The Clock Cleaners short on this release is the edited version. During the 1990s, Donald Wildmon and the American Family Association persuaded Wal-Mart to discontinue the sale of the VHS tape "Cartoon Classics: Fun on the Job!" which contained the film. The reason for this was that during his argument with the main spring in the adjacent image, Donald Duck allegedly shouts "F**k you!" yet in Clarence Nash's semi intelligible voice, he actually says "Says who?", which is made clear by the spring's reply - "Says I!" Additionally the Motion Picture Production Code, popularly known as the "Hays Code," adopted in 1930, would never have allowed the language in the first place.

Due to this controversy, when the cartoon was included on the Walt Disney Treasures DVD set "Mickey Mouse in Living Color," Donald's line was redubbed as "Awww, nuts!", which was originally said in On Ice. However, the DVD release of Have a Laugh!, Volume 2 contains the cartoon with the original line reinstated, as well as its original RKO titles and illustrated title card.

This set is more or less descriptive of "The Best of the Silly Symphonies", with the cartoons presented here in arranged by theme. The U.K. release, unlike the U.S. release, has the original "Jewish peddler" visuals restored to Three Little Pigs.

150,000 sets produced.

Note: All except "The Practical Pig" are repeated from other sections of the DVD.

One sequence in the Three Little Pigs showed the Big Bad Wolf dressed as a Jewish peddler. This was re-animated so the Wolf would be a Fuller Brush Man. The US release of this set features the edited version, whereas the UK release shows the original Jewish peddler.

This set depicts various episodes of the Walt Disney anthology series that take place within and/or are about Disneyland. It includes also the very first episode from the series.
