Mickey Mouse in Living Color Volume Two was the first Walt Disney Treasures DVD set I ever bought and my first real introduction to Leonard Maltin, and little did my soon to be seven year old self. Mickey Mouse in Living Color Volume 2 DVD Review Disc 1: (Click title to view that portion of the review) Mickey Mouse Shorts 1939: Society Dog Show, The Pointer; 1940: Tugboat Mickey, Pluto's Dream House, Mr. Mouse Takes a Trip; 1941: The Little Whirlwind, The Nifty Nineties, Orphans' Benefit; 1942: Mickey's Birthday Party, Symphony Hour.
Mickey Mouse in Living Color Volume 2: With Pinto Colvig, Walt Disney, Paul Frees, Sterling Holloway. The celebration of Mickey's color capers continues in this second volume of shorts -- from 1939 to 1953 -- and feature film appearances, giving you a decidedly colorful history of the most famous mouse in the world. Mickey Mouse: In Living Color, Volume Two isn't quite as good as Volume One, but there's enough here that any Disney fan should own it.
More than anything, this set is a piece of Disney history as it documents the changing look of Mickey Mouse as well as the men who gave voice to him. To make this DVD two-disc set even more enticing, it has a limited production of 175,000 box sets. "Walt Disney Treasures: Mickey Mouse in Living Color: Volume Two (1939-Today)" makes an excellent addition to the DVD libraries of collectors who want to view the short films that helped make Mickey Mouse a household name.
Here Mickey gets his brain switched with that of a monster, and he needs to reclaim it. The short doesn't compare with Disney's best, but it seems reasonably fun and entertaining. (By the way, note that Maltin again turns up to introduce all three of the modern shorts.) As a whole, I'm very pleased with Mickey Mouse In Living Color Volume II.
As for parents, there are worse things you could do than get your children to appreciate these mouse cartoons, both past and present. But for the casual viewer, Mickey Mouse in Living Color, Vol. 2 might be an easily skippable entry in the Treasures line.
