***** Five Stars for the cartoons themselves! I give the low *** three start rating because WE ALREADY HAVE THEM ON DVD!

This collection is a cheaply put-together, un restored, re-release of cartoons from the DISNEY TREASURES TINS! THESE ARE NOT FROM THE SAME MASTERS! So why buy something you already have?

1) THE UGLY DUCKLING (1939) also on the "Disney Treasures: Silly Symphonies" DVD release.

2) COUNTRY COUSIN (1936) also on the "Disney Treasures: Silly Symphonies" DVD release.

3) FERDINAND THE BULL (1938) also on the "Disney Treasures: Rarities" DVD release.

4) WIND IN THE WILLOWS (1949) segement from the feature Icabod & Mr. Toad. Amazon sells the entire feature for just $15.99

With the Disney Treasures DVD releases on limited availability, I guess Disney hopes those who missed out will buy these 4-cartoon discs. The low price is misleading, when you break it down to individual cartoon cost this release is EXPENSIVE!

And no extras!

This volume contains short animated classics that are awesome - my favorite volume of the three timeless classics. My granddaughter can quote from memory all the words from Ferdinand the Bull. She is entranced by Wind in The Willows and is asking to read that book. All my old favorites are here. And apparently they will become my grandchild's favorites as well. Don't you love when that happens? The only disappointment was that this volume does not accrue any points for disney rewards.

Reminded me of old times. Great DVD to have for the children.

Both of my daughters are in their 20's now, but when they were very young they LOVED "Wind in the Willows." We found the DVD's at Amazon and purchased them for Christmas. Can't wait to see their faces when they unwrap these gifts and are taken back to their childhood.

The older Disney cartoons are still the best. Many have not been seen in years and are now available. I relish every moment watching this DVD. Ferdinand The Bull has always been a favorite. Now I have it forever.

Great stories, great fun. Kids love all of the tales even tho' the animation is dated...it is the reel deal, not computer animation, so I enjoy it too! Disney just does it right all of the time. The tales are good moral lessons.

This DVD i bought knowing only the story of ugly duckling and ferdinand the bull ... i was surprised to find that my 2 kids (4 & 7 years old) loved all the stories ... it is really amazing .. but this is Disney ... they are never bored of watching their movies no matter how many times ...

What impress me most about Timeless Tales is how very well Disney have restored the old cartoons. Having seen most of them before as very scratch copies it was a pure joy to see them again as new.

My Grandson Loved it! It arrived when they said it would and is in excellent condition! I will buy from this seller again!

Received when promised. Have always enjoyed "Wind in the Willows", and now I can pass it on to my grandkids. It's been hard to find it because it is so old but now I've got it and am very happy.
