I bet so too, Leonard Maltin’s fairly recently book Starstruck is an excellent read and has a very fascinating chapter on the Walt Disney Treasures. His chapter confirms that Dick Cook is why the series happened, and after Bob Iger fired him in late 2009 the series came to an abrupt end as there was no one in Disney management to champion for them. I think and wonder quiet often if the series would have continued had Dick Cook stayed. As the final wave was only 30,000 copies I think that it still might have ended had he stayed if the number of sets continued to shrink each new wave. But I bet that whatever the case we would have gotten much more vintage Disney on Blu-ray in the 2010s had he stayed.

Also here are some of the pages from Starstruck of the chapter on the Walt Disney Treasures. Not the entire chapter, but I think it’s a good sampling to show how amazing both the chapter and Starstruck really are! Please buy the book and support Mr. Maltin!
