Walt Disney Treasures - On the Front Lines
Looks like this DVD set will be released on May 18, 2004. Sounds very interesting.
On December 8, 1941, the Disney Studio was taken over by the military as part of the war effort. Making the most of the talent that hadn't shipped out yet, Walt Disney spent the next four years creating and producing training, propaganda, and educational films for the Armed Forces. In addition to these films, this extraordinary volume also includes the full-length feature "Victory Through Air Power." Released theatrically in 1943, this powerful propaganda film has never been reissued until now. You'll also see recently discovered on-the-set footage, and get rare firsthand accounts about the work and culture at the Disney Studio in interviews with Disney Legends Joe Grant, John Hench, and Roy Disney. Featuring exclusive introductions by film historian Leonard Maltin.
Bonus features:
- On the Set of ''Victory Through Air Power''
- A Conversation with Disney Legends Joe Grant, John Hench and Roy Disney
