With the exception of the True-Life Adventure clip show, they're mostly lesser-known Disney movies about dogs.

I take it back, I had a Benji book for kids growing up, but I’m not familiar with that film.

Time to go tell my Disney obsessed friend who works with dogs for a living that she has plans on June 6

The existing master for the Best of the True-Life Adventures feature is struck from a print that's beat to hell. Kinda embarassing, really.

Disappointed with the rest of the line-up. Greyfriar's Bobby is an odd film, swinging from bleak poverty and death to slap-happy made-for-tv "kids save the dog" aw shucks corn. Big Red and Lobo and the Biscuit Eater are also popcorn doggie melodrama, and not to be pessimistic, I suspect they're also transfers from worn-out prints.

Meh, who am I kidding....I'll DVR the lot of them...

(now get on Those Calloways and Third Man on the Mountain and Darby and Thomasina, TCM...)

The trip through the studios is really neat to watch. Walt is so young in this.
