"This final collection of PLUTO cartoons includes some never before available on home video! Also included are the three FIGARO cartoons UNCENSORED with the black mammy.



Comparing those cartoons that were previously released on DVD, this all looks like a new film to video transfer for this set. Don't expect the restoration work like on the Mickey Mouse Treasures, but they are an improvement over last year's Chronological Donald Volume 2.



The Bonus Material strangely seems to talk about some cartoons not included in this set.

"I just picked this up today, and I haven't even started watching it yet, so I apologize for not reviewing the content.

I did, however, notice that the 'Certificate of Authenticity' states that this set is limited to only 65,000 copies.

This is one of the most limited pressings of all the 'Disney Treasures'



The valuable 'Goofy' collection was limited to 125,000.



Geez, they made 250,000 copies of 'On The Front Lines'!!

Funnier Than You Think!

"I bought this collection because I'm a fan of both Disney and animation; but, knowing that Disney had a rep for squeaky-clean characters, I didn't realize these cartoons would be as funny as they are! It seems over the years Pluto's humor became totally forgotten by cartoon fans...but this is one funny character.



As I watched these cartoons I began to realize that some of these could very well be mistaken for Looney Tunes, as the humor occasionally gets frenetic and fast-paced.....if Pluto didn't show up, you'd think these were done by the whackos at Warner Brothers (I intend "whackos" in a good way, believe me!).



Pluto's bravado yapping is what gets me cracking up...for example, he pretends to act macho by yapping furiously (as he hides behind a fence) at Butch the Bulldog - and runs away as Butch approaches! There are many other hilarious examples of his yapping throughout the set.



You'll be astonished at the OUTSTANDING job the animators did with Pluto's facial expressions and wonder how they were able to convey to the audience exactly what Pluto was thinking, without him uttering a single word; this is amazing work that we have taken for granted when we watch cartoons.



I also noticed the similarities between Pluto and Donald Duck - these two are the ONLY legendary Disney cartoon characters that actually get mad, pull underhanded pranks, cheat (Pluto checks a gumball machine to see if there's any loose change!) and occasionally prey on the weak. Ya think Mickey would do that? NAH!



Also included in this set are the complete Figaro The Cat cartoons (there are only a few, but the short "Figaro & Cleo" is shown TWICE: in the "Bonus Features" segment and the "From The Vault" segment...why?)



I hope you purchase this set; I bought it, intending to be nostalgic and mildly amused but found myself laffing out loud at ol' Pluto...I think you will, too.

Ruff! Ruff! Perfect for young kids!

"Pluto is really not a talking character so his dog face says it all. My small kids love his cartoons because they don't have to understand a lot of words to know what's going on and enjoy the humor. Every Pluto cartoon shows the Disney studio mastery of conveying emotions and communication with a dog nosed smurk. Great family entertainment."
