Experience the breadth and genius of Disney animation with a remarkable collection of shorts that spans nine decades of the company's history.

Walt Disney was always pushing the envelope. Even in the 1920s, when special effects were hard to do and limited in their effectiveness, his first series succeeded at putting a real girl in a pen-and-ink world. Quickly his staff grew in size and ability and so did Walt's ambitions. No longer was he content with creating rubbery anthropomorphized animals bouncing to the beat of an unseen metronome (the house-style over at the Max Fleischer Studios), Walt wanted a sense of weight -- both in his characters' physicality and their psychology. These ten cartoons that span nine decades are a fun way to discover how Walt Disney dragged the animated short kicking and screaming into the realm of art. Even today his influence is apparent, as you will discover for yourself in such recent examples as Pixar's Red's Dream, Roger Rabbit's Roller Coaster Rabbit and the Salvador Dali-designed Destino, which was begun in 1946, but not completed until 2003 at the behest of Roy E. Disney.
