  • Straight Shooters (1947)
  • Sleepy Time Donald (1947)
  • Clown of the Jungle (1947)
  • Donald's Dilemma (1947)
  • Crazy With the Heat (1947)
  • Bootle Beetle (1947)
  • Wide Open Spaces (1947)
  • Chip an' Dale (1947)
  • Drip Dippy Donald (1948)

  • Donald's Dream Voice (1948)
  • The Trial of Donald Duck (1948)
  • Inferior Decorator (1948)

  • All In a Nutshell (1949)
  • The Greener Yard (1949)
  • Slide, Donald, Slide (1949)

  • Lion Around (1950)
  • Crazy Over Daisy (1950)
  • Trailer Horn (1950)
  • Hook, Lion and Sinker (1950)
  • Bee At the Beach (1950)

Quite a hefty little list, huh? Like I said, that's 36 shorts in all, the equivalent of the number of shorts on Donald, Volume One. What do you think?

While we're on the subject of Donald III, let's contemplate some of the bonus features. I'd like to see a documentary on Donald in South America (with scenes from Saludos Amigos and Three Caballeros). Two other bonus features I would like are both from the anthology TV series of the 1950s and 60s. One is an excerpt of THE PLAUSIBLE IMPOSSIBLE, in which Walt explains cartoon physics at Donald's expense. Eventually, Donald can't take anymore, so he jumps off the paper and hides in Walt's desk. Walt tries to coax him out, but Donald refuses to listen. Walt then tells Donald impatiently that the people watching the show are waiting, but Donald just says, "Let 'em wait!" The other bonus feature I'd like is the complete pilot episode for Wonderful World of Color: "An Adventure In Color and Mathmagicland", which introduced Ludwig Von Drake and ends with the complete Donald toon: "Donald In Mathmagicland". What do you think?

is that the von drake cartoon where he sings the colors, and then appologizes for the people with black and white tvs. and starts singing black grey white black. I saw this clip a the Smithsonian exhibit last year featuring inventions of the past century. I laughed so hard.

Given how the Disney Treasures are going down these days, I don't think the list above will be EXACTLY like that, at least not on Disc One. A few of the cartoons from that disc may be relegated to the obligatory From the Vault section:
  • Clown of the Jungle (the Aracuan Bird tries to kill himself and Donald tries to riddle him with machine gun fire)
  • Donald's Dilemma (Daisy imagines food she's eating are different weapons and poisons and a fork she's using to eat a gun that she points to her head)
  • Crazy With the Heat (the ever-so-politically-incorrect translucent Arab)
  • Three For Breakfast (Donald and Dale looking rather Chinese at the end)
  • Tea For Two Hundred (The ants sounding like African natives)
