Volume 1

• The Prince and the Pauper (1990)

The Prince and the Pauper is an animated short film inspired by Mark Twain's story (of the same name) starring Mickey Mouse. The film was released on November 16, 1990, along with The Rescuers Down Under. This film is notably darker than most of the Mickey Mouse cartoons.

This was Disney's last half-hour featurette to be released theatrically until Olaf's Frozen Adventure in 2017.

In 16th century England, the good King is very ill and becomes bedridden. His Captain of the Guard, Pete, uses this to his advantage of robbing and being cruel to the people in the King's name. On a cold winter's day, Mickey Mouse, Goofy, and Pluto try selling what they have for food, Mickey selling firewood and Goofy selling snow cones. They dream of being warm and someday living in the palace. Meanwhile in the palace, the Prince (who looks exactly like Mickey) is doing his studies with his adviser, Horace Horsecollar and his valet, Donald Duck. He is bored and looks longingly out of his window seeing all the people and wishing he was with them. A while before, the King's guards came in their stagecoach, while hauling off the food they stole from the townspeople. Then a string of sausages drooped out of the stagecoach and Pluto ran after them. Mickey tried to stop him, but the palace gates had already closed. He asked the guard if he could come in to look for his dog, and the guard let him do so, thinking he was the Prince. Then Pete caught him and tried to poke him with his sword, but the Prince saw this and wanted Mickey brought to him at once because "even the lowliest subjects of this Kingdom deserve respect" as he had quoted.

• The Legend of Sleepy Hollow (1949)

The Legend of Sleepy Hollow is a segment of The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad, a 1949 animated adaptation produced by Walt Disney, and narrated by Bing Crosby. It is an animated cartoon adaptation of the story, paired with a similar treatment of Kenneth Grahame's The Wind in the Willows. It was reissued as a stand-alone short on November 26, 1958.

The story of Ichabod Crane and the Headless Horseman, based on Washington Irving's The Legend of Sleepy Hollow (narrated by Bing Crosby). The gangly and lanky Ichabod Crane was the new schoolmaster in Sleepy Hollow. His somewhat odd behavior made him the ridicule of the rambunctious and robust town bully Brom Bones. Despite his odd appearance, Ichabod quickly proved to be a ladies' man charming all the eligible local maidens. Finally, however, Ichabod discovered the town beauty, Katrina Van Tassel. Katrina was the beautiful young daughter of Baltus Van Tassel, the wealthiest farmer in the area, and Brom's intended. Katrina was a coquette by nature but saw Ichabod as an opportunity to break from the monotony of Brom scaring away every other potential suitor. Ichabod had his eye on the Van Tassel wealth and was infatuated by Katrina's beauty and grace as well.

Hungarian Summary:

Az egész estés számítógép-animációs filmek korában gyakran a történet, a mese rovására megy a látvány. A rajzfilmek aranykorában azonban elsõsorban az számított, hogy a film cselekménye, a figurák bája, a zene és látvány összhangban legyen és együttes erõvel repítse kis nézõit a mesék csodálatos birodalmába.

A Walt Disney stúdió neve születésétõl fogva összeforrt a rajzfilm fogalmával. A mai fiatalok leginkább csak a stúdió újabb filmjeit ismerik, de a DVD-formátum megjelenésének köszönhetõen néhány nagy klasszikus is ott lehet az értékes filmgyûjtemények között.

Az igazi ritkaságok, a Disney évtizedekkel ezelõtt készült rövidfilmjei azonban a mai napig hozzáférhetetlenek voltak, de a most induló sorozat segítségével végre az unokák is megismerhetik azokat a feledhetetlen és az idõ múlásával bájukból, vonzerejükbõl mit sem vesztett kisfilmeket, amelyeken nagyszüleik szórakoztak gyermekkorukban!

A Disney Históriák DVD-kiadványai közül az elsõn az Álmosvölgy legendájának 1949-ben készült rajzfilmváltozatát, és a Koldus és királyfi történet Disney-figurákkal életre keltett, 1990-ben bemutatott változatát találjuk.
