I have to let you all know (and I apologize if this has been posted before), but I have just watched many of the voluminous special features on the new, double-disk DVDs of "Old Yeller," "Pollyanna," and "Swiss Family Robinson."
They are cram-packed with hours of interviews with the old cast members and specials (including some Walt Disney-hosted "Disneyland" shows). I cannot recommend them highly enough for Disney fans who want to understand how the Disney that we know and love today came to evolve from cartoons to live action and theme parks.

Then I decided a post needed to be here.
If any of you have seen these disks yourselves, please comment. It was so fun seeing "old friends" again!!
These DVDs are available at the Disney Store, of course, but also can be rented from Blockbuster. They are not available for VCR.
