'Academy Award Review of Walt Disney Cartoons' is a Walt Disney animated film released in the United States on May 19, 1937, for a limited time to help promote the upcoming release of 'Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs'. It was a collection of five Oscar-winning 'Silly Symphonies' shorts, bridged together with title cards and a narrator.[https://web.archive.org/web/20091028054151/http://www.geocities.com/disney_laserdiscs/0070.html The Academy Award Review Of Walt Disney Cartoons SF078-0070], accessed on 25 May 2009. Like 'The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh', each of the cartoons had been released on their own at first before being collected together as one film. The separate cartoon shorts are now available on DVD. In addition, the film is 41 minutes long, just like 'Saludos Amigos'. However, while this film is fully animated, 'Saludos Amigos' would be far shorter without the live-action sequences. It is considered the first film in the Walt Disney Pictures filmography.
'Academy Award Review of Walt Disney Cartoons' was re-released and updated with additional four shorts in 1966 with no narration.
Both versions of the film were released in Japan on LaserDisc on June 21, 1985.Kilmer, David. (1997). 'The Animated Film Collector's Guide: Worldwide Sources for Cartoons on Video and Laserdisc'. p. 161. Indiana University Press. .
