3 'Disney Treasures' released on DVD

Three new editions of "Walt Disney Treasures" (you know, the series with the DVD boxes in metal tins) are featured in this week's look at new home-video releases.

• "Walt Disney Treasures: Chronological Donald, Volume 3" (Disney, 1947-50, two discs, $32.99). This is most likely to be the best-seller of this bunch, with more hilarious Donald Duck cartoons, shown here in the order of their initial theatrical release dates. One highlight is "Donald's Dream Voice," in which he takes a voice pill to make himself more understandable (his voice takes on Ronald Colman's patrician intonations), and in another he comes up against worthy adversaries when he meets Chip 'n' Dale.

Extras: full frame/widescreen, 31 cartoons, featurettes

• "Walt Disney Treasures: The Adventures of Oswald the Lucky Rabbit" (Disney, 1926-28, two discs, $32.99). These are crude, primitive cartoons — the character preceded Mickey Mouse — and as such are more historically significant than enjoyably entertaining. But animation fans will be more than pleased, as all 13 surviving "Oswald" cartoons from the silent-film era are here (26 were produced). Best of all, the bonus features go into great detail about Disney's relationship with on-again, off-again partner Ub Iwerks.

Extras: full frame, 13 "Oswald" cartoons, six bonus cartoons (including restored "Steamboat Willie"), audio commentaries, feature-length documentary, featurettes.

• "Walt Disney Treasures: Disneyland: Secrets, Stories and Magic" (Disney, 1955-65, two discs, $32.99). Documentaries and programs exploring the creation of America's first theme park, loaded with archival footage that will likely prove irresistible to Disneyphiles, movie buffs and those who simply love parks with rides. Julie Andrews and Leonard Maltin host the proceedings.

Extras: full frame

Recent films

• "The Bourne Ultimatum" (Universal, 2007, PG-13, $29.98). The third film in this series is much better than the second. As with is predecessors, this film is overly busy — with that annoying "shaky-cam" style. But it's not nearly so distracting as "Bourne II." Matt Damon is again first-rate as he battles the bad guys, and a foot race is particularly exciting.

Extras: widescreen, deleted scenes, audio commentary, featurettes
