The Chronological Donald, Volume Two

DisneyTreasures05-donald.jpg

This set covers the second leg of Donald Duck's long career, starting from 1942 to 1946, covering World War II in the process. Most international releases of this set do not include the bonus feature "From the Vault". Six of the eight cartoons are instead included in the main list of shorts, while the shorts Commando Duck and Der Fuehrer's Face are absent. The omission of these shorts have not been explained. Also omitted from the international release is the short Donald's Crime , but this omission was probably due to mistake, as all versions of The Great Mouse Detective DVD include it. The Chronological Donald, Volume Two did not receive the beautiful restoration of Volume One. Prints are worn and the image quality is visibly worse than all earlier Disney Treasures Volumes.

Goofy is a close friend of Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck, and is Max Goof's father.
