Rare Gems From The Disney Vaults Coming in December 2007

It's not time to drool or hyperventilate yet, but there are already nice things to anticipate by the end of this year. This is the press release from Buena Vista Home Entertainment:

OSWALD THE LUCKY RABBIT
CHRONOLOGICAL DONALD, VOLUME 3
DISNEYLAND: STORIES, SECRETS, AND MAGIC
Each 2-Disc DVD Set Includes Authenticity Certificate and Collectible
Lithograph Available in Limited Supply December 11

BURBANK, Calif., April 2 /PRNewswire/ -- Walt Disney Home Entertainment continues the popular Walt Disney Treasures series with three new 2-Disc DVD sets featuring rarely seen footage presented with amazing color and sound. The seventh installment of Walt Disney Treasures will be available December 11, 2007 in a limited supply just in time for the holidays.

Predating even Mickey Mouse, the legendary and rarely-seen "Oswald The Lucky Rabbit" was Walt Disney's first big animated star, and having recently returned to the Disney fold, comes out of the vault for the first time ever on DVD. The silent shorts made from 1926 to 1927 with Walt's personal touch, are revitalized with a brand-new score specifically made for Walt Disney Treasures, Wave VII.

"Chronological Donald, Volume 3" features the most prolific of "Walt's Fab Five," the short-tempered but hilarious Donald Duck in rarely seen solo shorts dating 1947 through 1950.

"Disneyland: Secrets, Stories and Magic" is a comprehensive look at the "Happiest Place on Earth." The centerpiece of this volume is a new documentary with archival footage, including Walt's own words, as well as new interviews that reveal the magic and manpower behind one of the world's most famous destinations.

Each volume features noted film historian, author, and critic Leonard Maltin. Each volume is individually numbered, with an authenticity certificate, and an exclusive lithograph in the collectible, unique packaging tins and available just in time for the holidays, in a limited supply only.

I was wondering when they'll start releasing stuff on Oswald ever since they got him back. Now I know. The only thing left is to see when they'll incorporate him into the theme parks.
