Review: |
Making his mark on the hearts of
many fans more than half a century ago, Mickey Mouse has become
one of the world's most well-known celebrities. From various
cartoons, some movies and thousands of items of merchandise,
his popularity has yet to dwindle, and he has become a legend
all his own.

and Sound |
The
dated appearance of the cartoons makes it difficult to rate
this in terms of quality, but the fact that these treasures
have been carefully preserved on DVD is more than enough to
marvel at. The restoration of the cartoons isn't pristine, but
they do look striking, and when viewed, will no doubt be as
entertaining as they ever have been. -- |
| The
Extras |
This wonderful
collection of Disney's first Mickey Mouse cartoons is put
together quite nicely, divided onto two separate discs by
years. The first disc contains those that were produced between
1935 and 1936, and anyone who loves Mickey will fondly look
upon these wondrous images as nothing less than sheer magic.
This disc also includes pencil tests. The second disc, filled
with the cartoons from 1937 through 1938, continues the magical
experience, complete with a featurette that is hosted once
again by Leonard Maltin, who lovingly takes us into the world
of this legendary character. --

| Final
Words: |
Anyone with a fondness for Mickey
Mouse will be more than willing to dive into this collection
of his first performances. Walt Disney's vision is evident
throughout this wonderfully crafted DVD set, which brings
Mickey back home where he belongs.
