More than a time-capsule treasure for Disney buffs, this two-disc set will warm the nostalgic hearts of baby boomers who eagerly looked forward to their weekly visits with "Uncle Walt" Disney. As the host of his anthology series, Disneyland (later Walt Disney Presents, then The Wonderful World of Color), Disney presented classic cartoons and original programs, but he also gave starry-eyed viewers a privileged, behind-the-scenes look inside his magic kingdom, from the construction of his magnificent theme park to animators at work. Disneyland transformed Disney into the face of Disney Studios, a pied piper, according to film historian Leonard Maltin, who introduces the features on each disc. This collection of episodes features Disney at his most avuncular. "Where Do the Stories Come From" (1956) is a fun exploration of where Disney artists find their inspiration. "Fourth Anniversary Show" (1951) charts the development of the Disney featurette, Peter and the Wolf, but then becomes a surprise-party musical extravaganza for Disney hosted by his Mouseketeers, and featuring appearances by Guy "Zorro" Williams and Fess "Davy Crockett" Parker. Long-thought lost, "Kodak Presents Disneyland '59," is a black and white kinescope recording of a live, 90-min. television special (compete with entertaining Kodak commercials featuring Ozzie and Harriet Nelson and sons) that serves to introduce three new attractions to Disneyland: the Nautilus submarine ride, the Monorail and the Matterhorn. Look for rising stars Clint Eastwood and Dennis Hopper among parade participants. "Backstage Party" (1961) is a visit to the set of Disney's production of Babes in Toyland, with appearances by the film's stars, including Annette Funicello, Ed Wynn, and Ray Bolger. "Disneyland 10th Anniversary" (1965), previously released on the now-out-of-print Disneyland U.S.A. set, introduces the Haunted Mansion, Pirates of the Caribbean, and It's a Small World rides, and shows how "space-age" technology was used to create the Enchanted Tiki Room. Disc 2's extras include a true rarity, a 1962 Cinemascope film presentation created to accompany a Disney Radio City Music Hall stage show. Another delight is "I Captured the King of the Leprechauns," a 1959 Disneyland episode tied to the release of the feature Darby O'Gill and the Little People (and included as a bonus feature on that DVD). This whimsical bit of blarney follows Disney to Ireland in search of "the little people." Movie tough guy Pat O'Brien sends him off with a charming song about leprechauns, just a small sample of these episodes' endearing and enduring hokey charms. --Donald Liebenson

This is a Televsion broadcast DVD. The 90 minute special from 1959 has some interesting things although the Kodak commercials get annoying. It is also very slow and somewhat boring especially during parade coverage and such. Some of the stuff on this disk is found on other Disney Treasures releases. It you have to collect them all then by all means buy it, but if you just want the best then buy Secrets, Stories and Magic. I still like this one, but I was just let down that it was not as good as the other Treasures releases.

I am so impressed with this whole series of Walt Disney Treasures. This was the first one I had added to my collection, and I loved being able to watch Walt Disney on Disneyland 5th anniversary while he talked about what was up and coming, like Pirates, The House of Mystery (Haunted Mansion) and more. I also loved watching what used to air on the Wonderful World of Disney. I think that everyone should own this DVD and the Series. It will be something you will always turn to when you want something great to watch or of course to put a smile on your face. Buy it you wont be disappointed.
A good value for fans of Walt Disney. February 24, 2008
This video has some great selections from the classic Walt Disney archives. While it didn't present anything I wasn't already aware of it is still captivating.
 Neat that you see so much of Walt January 30, 2008
I it interesting to see the more-or-less "real" Walt Disney, compared to the books I have read that portrays Disney as either hero or villain. I really liked seeing "Peter and the Wolf" as it has been hard for me to find it. I almost fell out of my chair laughing at the dancing birthday cake -- it was ridiculous! I got this one because I had a gift card to use and this was all they had that was even close to what I wanted from the Treasures.
