Walt Disney Treasures: Wave Eight Explained

The eighth wave of Walt Disney Treasures was released on November 11, 2008 (Veterans Day).

The wave itself was originally going to include a release dedicated to Destino, a short film part of Fantasia 2000 that was once scheduled to be released as a set for the Walt Disney's Legacy Collection series, however, the release was cancelled in both occasions and was replaced by the Mickey Mouse Club Presents: Annette set.

The Chronological Donald, Volume Four

This set is the final volume on Donald and contains the remaining Donald shorts and featurettes from 1951-1961. However, this set omits three Chip 'n' Dale solo shorts. It also omits Donald's Fire Survival Plan and Steel and America (1965) educational featurettes, as well as the 1967 educational featurette Scrooge McDuck and Money, which featured Uncle Scrooge for the first time in a starring role in animation. He had previously only appeared in the opening title sequence of The Mickey Mouse Club.

The cartoon Bee on Guard is missing the last 5 seconds of footage for reasons unknown. A few months after its release Disney issued replacement discs correcting this error.^{[1] [2]}
