(More customer reviews)Cartoon Classics VOLUME 11: BEST PALS DONALD AND DAISY
This release features four cartoons that have never been issued to DVD, but three are announced for this Dec.11 2007's "Disney Treasures: Chronological Donald volume 3" . All are classic Donald Duck cartoons worth getting this DVD for!
Regardless of the duplication, I thoroughly enjoyed watching this DVD. DONALD'S DIARY (which sounds like a cheater cartoon but isn't) is my favorite. It has a stylized, almost UPA, look but still uses full animation. Donald's nightmare of marriage is a good show closer to this Donald & Daisy set. Even though DONALD'S DIARY will probably not be on a Disney Treasures DVD set until 2008 or later, it looks restored.
My only complaint (aside from the repetition of cartoons from other DVD releases) is that 10 Daisy cartoons were produced, so why only include 8 in her DVD set? Remember, DVDs can hold up to 3 hours of program without losing quality to compression artifacting, Disney is giving us less than one hour here!
Here is what you do get:
MR. DUCK STEPS OUT (1940 - previously released on "Disney Treasures: Donald volume 1" DVD Tin AND the "Mickey & Minnie's Sweetheart Stories" DVD.)
Donald heads out to court Daisy, but his nephews Huey, Dewey and Louie find devious ways to sabotage Donald's big date.
CURED DUCK (1945 - previously released on "Disney Treasures: Donald volume 2" DVD Tin.)
Daisy, fed up with Donald's temper, makes Donald take lessons to cure it with the aid of an `insult machine.' Donald is cured, but when he laughs at Daisy's hat, it's Daisy who gets hot under the collar.
DONALD'S DOUBLE TROUBLE (1946 - previously released on "Disney Treasures: Donald volume 2" DVD Tin AND the "Mickey & Minnie's Sweetheart Stories" DVD.)
Donald meets his double and decides to use him to win back Daisy. But the trick backfires when the double falls in love with Daisy himself.
SLEEPY TIME DONALD (1947 - NEW TO DVD, but announced for this Dec.11 2007's "Disney Treasures: Chronological Donald volume 3")
Donald sleepwalks to Daisy's house, and Daisy is kind enough to steer him back to his own bed. Later, when Donald tells Daisy that she's the one walking in her sleep, the two get into a funny argument.
CRAZY OVER DAISY (1950 - NEW TO DVD, but announced for this Dec.11 2007's "Disney Treasures: Chronological Donald volume 3")
Chip `N Dale make mischievous trouble for Donald while he's riding his bike. Donald tries to get even, but is frustrated when Daisy takes the chipmunks' side.
DONALD'S DREAM VOICE (1948 - NEW TO DVD, but announced for this Dec.11 2007's "Disney Treasures: Chronological Donald volume 3")
Donald wants to improve his speaking voice, and buys miraculous voice pills that increase his vocal range. Donald manages to lose all the pills, including his last one that accidentally drops into the mouth of a cow.
DONALD'S CRIME (1945 - previously released on "Disney Treasures: Donald volume 2" DVD Tin.)
Donald is broke, and when he gets a date with Daisy, he breaks into his nephews' piggy bank out of desperation. His conscience gets the best of him, however, and Donald finds a job to pay back Huey, Dewey and Louie.
DONALD'S DIARY - (1954 - NEW TO DVD! No announcements for other releases yet.)
Daisy almost succeeds in getting Donald to say "I do" and settle down in marriage. But Donald gets cold feet when he thinks about the worst that could happen to a married duck, and he runs away.
