The remastering is evident on these episodes.

1. “Zorro: The Postponed Wedding,” novel air date of 1/1/1961, from Walt’s anthology TV series “Walt Disney Presents.” Clocking in at 49:04, this episode features Annette Funicello, who is beginning to worn into a very gorgeous young lady.
2. “Zorro: Auld Acquaintance,” fresh air date of 4/2/1961, from Walt’s anthology TV series “Walt Disney Presents.” Starring Ricardo Montalban & Ross Martin (”Wild Wild West”) this episode is 49:09 long.
There is also a featurette entitled, “Gradual The Shroud” (7:52) which is a short seek at Zorro’s leading man, Guy Williams. Also known as Professor Robinson on “Lost In Position,” Williams is often regarded as the quintessential Zorro. Favorite by his costars (Suzanne Lloyd is quoted here as saying Williams was “one of the most charming professional men I ever had the pleasure of working with”), he began as a model and then became a contract player at Universal. An injury sidelined him and caused him to occupy up fencing. A call to audition for Disney’s Zorro was a fortuitous rupture for the actor, and catapulted him into stardom. Zorro’s stunt double, Buddy Van Horn is also interviewed here, along with Williams’ son, Guy Williams, Jr., who obviously has many fond memories of his father and this particular role. Interestingly enough, it is recounted that most action scenes were shot on Fridays so that any injuries would have the entire weekend to heal! Rare color movies of Williams performing at Disneyland as Zorro are shown here; Van Horn recalls them staying at the Disneyland Hotel and taking advantage of the carte blanche they had at the Hotel. Author Antoinette Lane, Guy Williams: The Man Slack the Hide, is also interviewed about Williams, recounting what a role model he was, playing a father figure in “Lost in Place” and a protector in “Zorro.”
Finally retract a scurry to the Walt Disney archives in Burbank on the studio lot (10:55) . Leonard Maltin and Guy Williams, Jr. reveal novel costumes and sword from the explain, calling particular attention to the lavish detail (gracious silver thread, handsome embroidery, and heavy wool) that is evident in these pieces made by Western Costume. Two costumes are also shown with the noted “Z” emblazoned on them, including one for Henry Calvin’s oafish and comedic Sergeant Garcia. Next up a agreeable sampling of the more than 500 licensed items that were sold to promote the Disney series, including lunch boxes, rings, child costumes, and even roller skates!
This incredible station is a must-have for Disney fans both recent and conventional alike. Quality entertainment presented in a quality package.
So finally the release is happening that Disney kept leading us on saying would not happen, so guess what kids? You want Zorro you have to assume it from the Disney Movie Club. Disney touted Zorro being a “Disney Club Queer”, so like an idiot I believed them, and went and bought each of the 5 dvd sets that comprised season one at $20-$30 a pop from the club, then they decided to release the stout season into a boxed place of the same discs for cheaper, again mild only to the Movie club chump members like me. These versions were in the injurious colorization they did for the Disney Channel some years ago and had not a single extra, but Disney detached led on this was all they would have available for Zorro as it “wasn’t a tall seller” according the folks I called at the Disney Club. Now lookee here lo and gape somehow magically Disney seems to mediate there might be more milk to the cow of this franchise and is willing to squeeze it for all its worth. Fraction of me is very blissful with these releases, but piece of me wants to curse Disney’s murky soul in their duplicity and dirty double dealings. This is not the map to treat exact customers: lie, lie and lie some more if it makes more money. I appreciate venerable Disney entertainment, but man do I abhor the new company that dishes it out.
All of my “ragged man ranting” aside, it is nice that finally Zorro is getting the release it deserves, I objective wish…beg… hope.. plead that they be more objective in the dealings they have with fans. I seriously feel veteran AGAIN, I really don’t feel like I can ever trust them again after all the times I have and have been let down (like the edits in the Disneyland USA location when it was CLEARLY advertised in print ads as being “novel and uncut”.) Not to mention the incredibly cramped numbers for the last area compared to the entire rest of the Treasures series. Is it so snide as a customer to ask bulky honesty and integrity from a company that constantly eschews the same morals in their products? Do they want my trust and loyalty or impartial a chance to rape my wallet?
