Disney Have A Laugh! Volume 2

Though these DVD's may have received many negative reviews I think the people that reviewed them may not really understand where the concept of them came from. Sometimes in between shows on the Disney Channel and Disney XD they play a shortened version of classic cartoons they title the segment Have a Laugh! They also play the Blam series. It is usually shown during the hours that slightly older children would be watching it. So I understand why Disney decided to package it this way.

My mom purchased these DVD's for my 2 year old. While visiting my parents my father pulled out some videos he had with the old cartoons my daughter really likes them (She is a big fan of mickey and the rest of the gang). So my Mom came across these and bought them for her. My daughter really enjoys them so I am not going to review them for anything but the entertainment value they provide my child. I wouldn't recommend them for someone who is looking for the classics because they love them and want to have them as part of the collectibles, but if you are looking to entertain your child then for the price they are just fine.

My only real complaint about them is when you hit play all you have to watch the long and short version of all the cartoons. I would rather they had a selection for view all -unedited and view all -short version or omit the short versions all together. Though I know those are the ones they are showing on the segment on TV so that would probably not happen.

I thought Disney had moved beyond this type of nonsense with Eisner's departure. Not sure who thought that this was a good idea, but they might be better suited to working on scripts for sitcoms.... These folks should be ashamed. Don't even think about wasting your hard earned money on these (and this is from someone who owns more than 300 Disney titles....).

I watched this today for the first time, playing it all the way through. They have the main cartoon, each time followed by a shorter version of the same exact cartoon you just watched! It's bogus. Like 1/3 of the playing time is just repeating what's playing the other 2/3 of the time. I wish I could return it to the store, but it's already opened. We have volume 1 with Mickey on the cover, and I'm waiting until I'm less cranky to watch it since I'm sure they did the same thing. We opened that one, too, unfortunately.
