Album Description:
In this final volume, our chronicle of Donald's solo-starring shorts wraps up with some of his rarely seen, feather ruffling adventures from 1951 through 1961. And, for the first time on DVD, Donald's CinemaScope cartoons are presented in their original widescreen format. This collection of classics includes two of Donald's Academy Awardr nominated Best Shorts -- 'Rugged Bear' (1953) and 'No Hunting' (1955); a retrospective of Donald's career in comic books; and a storyboard presentation for an unproduced Donald Duck cartoon pitched by famed Disney animator Eric Goldberg. From bit player to superstar, Donald gave voice to the frustrations of everyone and in the process endeared himself to the world. Featuring exclusive introductions by film historian Leonard Maltin, this is a timeless collection from generations past for generations to come.

Rating: - When Mickey sees Donald, he yells "Duck!"
Even if you didn't get the first three volumes of The Chronological Donald, there's a good reason to get this last one. Along with thirty other cartoons from 1951-1961 is what's universally regarded as the best educational cartoon ever made, "Donald in Mathmagic Land" (1959). In this featurette animated by Hamilton Luske and other Disney animators, the Spirit of Adventure leads Donald to discover mathmatical wonders of music, the Golden Section, the secret of billiards, and other intriguing ideas ...

Rating: - The final collection with perhaps the most familiar Donald cartoons - PLUS "Donald in Mathemagic Land!"
The fourth and final entry in this series allows us to live in a wondrous era in which we can own a comprehensive Donald Duck short cartoon collection. Ain't life grand? Especially when you can share the glory of these classics with new generations. My son watched every cartoon and is now watching the earlier volumes. We must instill the love of fine things in our youth.
These cartoons might be the most familiar of all, since they are the ones most often shown on Disney TV shows, but ... Read More

Rating: - Really looking forward to this DVD!
For quite awhile I've been waiting for this DVD. I'm surprised that two other Donald Duck shorts weren't included. These were educational shorts. The first, "Steel And America" was produced for US Steel in 1965 - it's a pretty funny short with Donald about how steel is made. The second short from 1965 as well called, 'Donald's Fire Survival Plan'. Actually, 'Donald's Fire Survival Plan' is available but only through Disney's educational store as well as the Freewayphobia shorts. Maybe they do intend ... Read More
Rating: - WARNING TO ALL DONALD DUCK FANS RE THIS DVD
For some unknown reason amazon has mixed up Donald and Annette and while I have nothing against Annette I do not want her DVD I want the Duck. I have written several emails to amazon re this mixup and received several in return all contending the issue has been resolved which, as you can see, it has not, and the last email I received reasured me not to worry I would be getting Annette!!! Needless to say I am a wee bit frustrated at the lack of communication and therefore have ordered this DVD from Walmart ... Read More
