| Walt Disney Treasures: The Chronological Donald Vol 2 : 5 of 5 | |

 Time to start digging in the Christmas DVD treasure trove again! I always enjoy watching the latest Walt Disney Treasures releases, and the animated shorts collections are some of my favorites. I absolutely loved the first volume of Donald Duck cartoons, and it was fantastic continuing the series. There were lots of shorts here that I had never seen before, including a few that are now tops on my list because they are so creative and bizarre! Duck Pimples is completely amazing, as Donald goes insane with fear from listening to suspenseful radio shows and reading mystery novels, and enters a wacky fantasy world that kept me laughing the whole time. Trombone Trouble is also incredible, since the Greek gods bestow Donald with super-powers just to shut-up Pete's lousy trombone practicing! All of Donald's World War II shorts are included in separate section, but unfortunately most of these I had already seen a couple years ago in the On the Front Lines collection (but it was fun to watch them again, since Pete is such a great sarge!). The bonus materials include a complete B&W Disneyland television episode that follows Donald's typical day at the studio, with lots of great old live action footage, and there's also a really heartwarming interview with Tony Anselmo, the current voice of Donald. I had no idea his Disney career was so long and that he was actually handed the baton by Clarence Nash, Donald's original voice. Tony's comments really exemplify that Disney magic and commitment that I hope the company can hold on to forever!
