Amazon.com: All nine of Disney's first collection of animated classics on DVD are included in this set. Some of the nine titles include bonus features, and the DVD format will provide optimum sound and picture quality for the young and old collector alike. The crown jewels are Pinocchio and The Little Mermaid. The former celebrates its 60th anniversary with a brand new print, while the latter is the 1989 film that revitalized Disney's animation wing and brought new audiences to the art form. Both offer Oscar-winning songs. Two of the popular classics from the '60s are represented with 101 Dalmatians and The Jungle Book, which was the last animated feature that Walt Disney directly worked on and which saved the animation department when it was a box-office hit in 1967. Hercules and Mulan make great strides in the look of animation. The mythical figures of the former are based on the radical designs of Gerald Scarfe, and the latter makes bold advancements in computer animation in the refreshingly unknown legend of a Chinese girl. The collection rounds out with Lady and the Tramp in a grand widescreen format, the charming Peter Pan that hardly shows its age, and 1998's The Lion King II: Simba's Pride, a made-for-video sequel. Although the sequel is entertaining, it's frustrating to note the original The Lion King has been kept out of circulation completely for a few years (as Disney does with many classics), gearing towards a grand future release into theaters. --Doug Thomas

Rating: - A little of the rare and dated
Since this collection is quite old, you can see that at least four of these titles have been upgraded to Platinum or Double Disc Editions, i.e. The little Mermaid, The Jungle Book, Lady and the Tramp, and Mulan. At the time of this collections release, Lion King had yet to be released, for it was scheduled to be released as a Platinum Edition. Since Lion King was the Best selling movie of all time, they had to include something from the franchise to remind you of the original. SO they included the sequel, which I personally think it could have avoidable. Ulitmately, if you're the hard core disney ... Read More
Rating: - Classics?
Maybe its just me, but when I think classic Disney, Mulan, Hercules and the Lion King 2 are not what come to mind. Why the second Lion King instead of the first? I would think a classic collector's set would include some of Disney's most cherished works: Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, Beauty and the Beast to name a few. I also agree with what many reviewers have already stated, the price is ridiculous especially when some of my favorite classics are not even included.
Rating: - classic? psheah. whatever.
3 stars for being Disney.
Minus 2 for not having Aladdin.
That is all.
