"A hundred golden pazoozas!"
Although known today primarily for its feature-length animated films, the Disney Company's bread and butter of the 1930's through the 1950's were its color shorts, many based on classic fairy tales incorporating Disney stars like Mickey Mouse and Goofy.  The studio has just released a series of six DVD's under the Walt Disney Classic Short Films banner.<br /> "Mickey and the Beanstalk" (Disney) is the best segment from the feature compilation "Fun and Fancy Free" (1947). It's the Disney take on the "Jack and the Beanstalk" tale, with Mickey Mouse standing in as Jack.  Exquisite animation characterizes this adventure, as the beanstalk's vines twist and grow and slink about while Mickey attempts to grapple a singing harp from a goofy but dangerous giant.<br /> "Thru the Mirror" (1936) is a splendidly surreal take on Lewis Carroll's Alice stories.  Surrealism was wholeheartedly embraced by Disney's competitors, the Fleischer Brothers, but was  uncommon at Disney.  This cartoon is the exception, as Mickey is accosted by an angry umbrella, King Neptune emerges from the ocean on a globe, and playing cards dance in a Busby Berkeley-inspired extravaganza.<br />  The other cartoons in this set are "The Brave Little Tailor,"  "Gulliver Mickey," and "Mr. Mouse Takes a Trip."<br />  Though I love these shorts, I was disappointed in the overall quality.  The cartoons are not remastered and the sound, though listed as Dolby Digital Surround Sound, is too often muddy.  My suggestion would be to bypass this release or perhaps rent it, rather than buy.  Disney cartoons are meant for repeat viewings and with the less-than-excellent visual quality, you'll likely become more annoyed with each subsequent viewing.
