But, between the "vibrant foil O-Sleeve" and "fun collectible lithographs", there is the illusion that this line is different. And they're still coming in around the one-hour mark, well under a standard DVD's capacity. The studio is still wisely sticking with the most famous of cartoons and stars. But it befits the different approach the studio is now taking, choosing a stately, more collector-friendly look over the bright colors and kid-tailored artwork of the old series. It doesn't exactly roll off the tongue, particularly when a volume number and standout short are attached to the title. This time around, Disney has developed yet another new line: Walt Disney Animation Collection: Classic Short Films. And now, amidst Disney Channel discs and animated classic repackagings, a familiar face has re-entered Disney's life: the hour-long cartoon compilation. They've also been savvy enough to rekindle a relationship with DVD on the side. Over a year has passed and while Disney still remains in love with Blu-ray and all its high-def, higher-profit-margin glory, Not only were they bored with repackaging their vintage shorts, they weren't even excited by DVD, instead spending time and money on this intriguing new Blu-ray. Then in 2007, Disney's love for the format seemed to cool down. Disney kept the hour-long cartoon DVDs coming, under a variety of names: twelve Classic Cartoon Favorites, three Timeless Tales, four It's a Small World of Fun, and four Funny Factory discs. People liked the pairing, buying over a million copies of its sleek byproducts. The hour-long DVDs were cheap and easy to produce and market. Disney had several hundreds of animated shorts featuring characters still popular today. It appeared to be a match made in heaven. In 2005, Disney met the hour-long cartoon compilation DVD.
