Disney's Shorts + Reviews Discussion

Yeah, I put it on hold to focus on the list and my studies. I just took a little more of a break than I probably should have, though.

Avaitor · August 12, 2011, 09:48:32 PM

New one's up.

Sorry these are so brief. I feel like no one reads these, anyway.

Spark Of Spirit · August 12, 2011, 10:08:03 PM

No, I find these fun to read. I just don't have anything proper to say to it.

Dr. Insomniac · August 12, 2011, 11:17:38 PM

Yeah, I read them too. The only thing is that with a brief description and a little words on it there isn't really much to respond. Maybe if you dug up into the production of the shorts, or explored some of the history during the time they were made...

That's something I'd really like to do, but I think it might be a little harder t do that with Disney's shorts than Warner's, since they haven't been analyzed as much. That, and I do purposely try to keep these brief, so they don't seem like too much to go through.

If I keep on getting such short set like this again though, I might try to dig up more info on the cartoons. I'm sure if i look hard enough, I can find some tidbits you may not expect for some of them.

Nah, I like reading them as well. I guess just like everyone else, I don't have much to say.

Really, I'm wayyyyy behind when it comes to a lot Disney's classic shorts though, and many of these I haven't seen in a really long time (or, at all, in some cases). I've been trying to get caught up through Youtube, though. The ones I've been making a point to watch are mostly through recommendations by other people, and your blog for these is one source I've been using.

So yeah... keep 'em up, I say.

Hey guys, I'll tell you this now- no feature this month. I've literally got nothing to write about.

See you next month, most likely.

Dr. Insomniac · August 21, 2011, 12:48:57 AM

Maybe you should try to find the more odd and obscure Disney shorts, and figure out what makes them stand out from the norm.

Avaitor · August 21, 2011, 12:59:00 AM

Well, I might be doing that later on, like at the end of the year. Stick around.

A quick break sounds good for me. This way, I can take some time to figure out what I should do with this series, and if I want to try something similar next year. And with the Ludovico Trials and other potential reviews and features coming down the pipeline, it's not like the blogs will seem empty if I take the month off.

Avaitor · September 26, 2011, 01:52:32 PM

Looks like I have another month off. I think I'm going to retool this series a little bit now.

Barnes and Noble has a Mickey book titled "Mickey Mouse Race to Death Valley", which is a collection of Floyd Gottfredson comics from back in the 30s. I'm sitting here looking at it right now, but it'll have to wait until at least tomorrow when I get paid. But I really do want it, it looks so awesome.

Actually it looks like there are two of these collections so far, with a third one coming. The Barnes and Noble I'm at only has the first collection though.

Avaitor · February 14, 2012, 07:14:12 PM

I've seen those before, and they look very impressive. I'd love to collect them myself. Gottfredson's stuff is incredible, if you haven't read it before.

Commode · February 16, 2012, 06:49:55 PM

Picked it up, and so far it's pretty cool. Gonna definitely be on the lookout for the second book, and of course the third one which comes out in May.

Also picked up this: http://www.amazon.com/Walt-Disney-Treasury-Donald-Duck/dp/1608866564/ref=sr_1_2?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1329439681&sr=1-2
