Summary: A slice of history and delightful fun!
Review: I grew up in the 60s and while I don't remember the cartoons specifically, so many of them cause such a delightful sense of dejavu in me that I feel like I'm tapping into my childhood as I view them. I am now sharing them with my 2 year-old daughter. A couple are a bit frightening to her but those that do frighten her offer up a wonderful opportunity to learn (i.e., storms in The Old Mill). If I could afford it, I would buy one of these sets for every person I know because I am certain adult and child alike would be enthralled.

Summary: OUTSTANDING
Review: Walt Disney Treasures - Silly Symphonies is a must-have collection. These cartoons are classics and are of great historical and cultural value. But most of all, I really enjoyed them. Of all the Walt Disney Treasures that come in this special metal packaging I held off on this one till I had the others. That was a big mistake. I actually found this collection to be one of the best because of the content, presentation and obvious care that went into it. This is one of the very best Disney DVDs.

Summary: My disbelief at being able to own such a collection.
Review: I could hardly belive that i could at last obtain such a treasury of Disney shorts, and so many that i had not seen before. However, in my film collecting years (Std 8,Super 8 & 16mm) i did manage to get a couple of the tiles featured on this DVD, namly 'The Old Mill' and 'Elmer' and recall all too well how lucky i thought i had been then. But this collection is for me a remarkable addition to my Library, my thanks go to all those behind making this DVD available for public purchase.

Summary: Easter Eggs Too
Review: This is a wonderful DVD set. I'm hoping that they will release the rest of the Silly Symphony Series in the near future. The Easter Eggs such as The Practical Pig, Water Babies, etc. are a little hard to find, but one of the many Internet Sites about Easter Eggs on DVD will help you find them.

Summary: SOMETHING TO TREASURE!!! WHAT A GREAT RELEASE!!!
Review: I didn't give it a second look. I had to buy it! These are some of the finnest animation ever made. These are true classics! All the films are divided into categories and some of them even have an introduction by Mr.Disney himself. There are also a few nice extras conducted by Mr. Leonard Maltin. But even without the extras, it would still be a great buy. In a time (like this) when animation quality many times drops bellow zero, this is a great chance to introduce the kids (and adults) to the real art. Sheer magic! Absolute delight! Picture is great and so is sound (considering its age). Disney couldn't have done better. I just hope they'll keep releasing more of its treasures. Warner Bros. could do the same!...

Summary: a disney disaster
Review: A terrible dvd from the cheapskates at Disney. Many of the cartoons are impossible to find and the directions are of no help. Disney should recall all copies of Silly Symphonies that are out and give proper instructions how to find the cartoons. And, where or where is The Practical Pig? I paid for it.

Summary: A Valuable "Disney Treasure"
Review: With more than five hours of material, this "Silly Symphonies" collection remains the best of the limited-edition "Walt Disney Treasures" series. The two-DVD set includes some of the finest animated shorts in pristine condition -- notably "The Skeleton Dance" (1929), "Flowers and Trees" (1932), "The Three Little Pigs" (1933), "Music Land" (1935) and "The Old Mill" (1937). For cartoon buffs, the "Silly Symphonies" package is a must-have. For the uninitiated, it is the perfect introduction to Disney's early work.

Summary: Fascinating to watch, not my pick of Disney material
Review: For your money you get a collection of Disney shorts that most people have never seen restored to a condition much as they must've been in the 30's. I didn't really care for most of the stories in any real sense but I liked to look at them for their styling anyway but someone who really knows cartoon development and history will really appreciate these films. An early Donald Duck makes an appearance on Disc 1 while Pluto makes two appearances on Disc 2. 3 or 4 of the shorts are B/W, the rest in color and the Easter eggs (how many?) are hard to find (I found 1 I think).I had some difficulty navigating the menu and found that parts of the short The Grasshopper and The Ants were out of focus or alignment (not an original flaw)When I got my copy I found that someone had dropped it on one corner, the tin case was dented, the plastic case corner was broken and the disc holders were both damaged but the DVD's were both fine such protection will be appreciated around small children and by serious Disney collectors.
