Walt Disney Legacy Collection – True Life Adventures, Vol. 3 (1955)

Long before Animal Planet existed, Walt Disney’s True-Life Adventures awakened viewers to the wonders of the natural world. Disney began the series in 1946 with Seal Island, and the six features and seven featurettes won eight Academy Awards. Listen to our interviewwith director emeritusRoy E. Disney. One winner was Bear Country (1953), which is included in Creatures of the Wild, along with The African Lion (1955), Jungle Cat (1959) and The Olympic Elk (1952). Each film traces the course of one year in the life of its subject. Lionesses hunt to feed their cubs (and their glorious but idle mates) on Serengeti Plains. A pair of jaguars in the Amazon and a mother bear in Yellowstone Park raise their cubs, teaching them to find food and avoid predators. Magnificent bull elk fight for mates in the high meadows of the Olympic Mountains. Except for the narration occasionally seeming a little forced or obvious, these documentaries wear their age lightly. The prints hav (more…)

Walt Disney Treasures – Disney Rarities – Celebrated Shorts, 1920s – 1960s (1953)

Disney Rarities lives up to its title: It’s been impossible to see many of these shorts for decades. Walt Disney bankrupted his fledgling Laugh-O-Gram studio making “Alice’s Wonderland,” but the short earned Disney his first national distribution contract. Films featuring animated characters in live-action settings were common during the silent era; Disney reversed the situation, placing a live actress (Virginia Davis) in a cartoon world. The “Alice” series ran from 1923-1926, and several girls played the title role. These silent films have been handsomely restored and given upbeat musical tracks by Alex Rannie. The Oscar-winners “Ferdinand the Bull” (1938) and “Toot, Whistle, Plunk and Boom” (1953) rank as genuine classics, and have been unavailable for far too long. The wartime cautionary tale “Chicken Little” (1943) displays more imagination than the 2005 feature adaptation of the same story. “The Truth About Mother Goose” (1957) reflects the influence of Sleeping Beaut (more…)

Race to Witch Mountain (Two-Disc Extended Edition + Digital Copy) (2009)

Loosely based on Alexander Key’s novel Escape to Witch Mountain, Race to Witch Mountain is not so much a remake of the 1975 film Escape to Witch Mountain as an entirely new film based on some key plot points from the former film. When two innocent-looking teens appear in Jack Bruno’s (Dwayne Johnson) cab and tell him that “we must travel in that direction,” Jack thinks it’s a bit strange, but shrugs it off and starts driving. Soon they’re being followed and chased off the road, but is it Jack’s past catching up with him or something much larger? Sara (AnnaSophia Robb) and Seth (Alexander Ludwig) reluctantly confess that they are aliens from another planet, but Jack refuses to accept their statement until Sara starts moving things with her mind and Seth slips through the body of the car and deflects the SUV that’s pursuing them. Sara and Seth tell Jack that they must recover their crashed spaceship in order to save earth from being taken over by aliens, so Jack takes them (more…)

Walt Disney Treasures – On the Front Lines (1943)

World War II transformed the Disney Studio. Although nearly one-third of the artists had been drafted, production quintupled, up to 95% of it for military and government uses. Some of the films included in On the Front Lines have not been seen since their initial release; others were never shown to the general public. Anticipating the importance of animated training films, Disney produced the studio’s first educational film, “Four Methods of Flush Riveting” (1941), using limited animation to train riveters at Lockheed. Decades later, “Four Methods” and the excerpts from military training films remain models of how to present information clearly and concisely. Many of the wartime entertainment shorts are largely propaganda. Donald’s nightmare of working on a Nazi assembly line in “Der Fuehrer’s Face” is still hilarious slapstick. The grimmer “Education for Death” and “Chicken Little” have aged less gracefully. Disney’s oddest wartime project was Victory Through Air P (more…)
