Disney Treasures: Zorro: Season 1

Zorro, the masked avenger, emerges from the darkness of the night when the full moon is bright. Walt Disney's thrilling series debuted on October 10, 1957, and became a massive success, making Zorro a household name. The first season's 39 episodes have been newly restored and remastered in their original black-and-white format, providing action, adventure, and suspense.

In addition to the first season, this six-disc set includes the rarely seen two-part, one-hour specials ZORRO: EL BANDIDO and ZORRO: ADIOS EL CUCHILLO, originally shown on the WALT DISNEY PRESENTS anthology series. It also explores Zorro's literary origins and the creation of the Disney TV series.

Disney's Zorro remains timeless in its entertainment value, with its thrilling theme song, lively sword fights, and captivating storytelling. Guy Williams stars as Diego de la Vega, who transforms into the daring Zorro, champion of the oppressed in Spanish California in 1820.

Walt Disney's first prime-time half-hour series benefits from high production values and storytelling genius. Zorro skillfully combines action and comedy, with a cast that includes Henry Calvin and Gene Sheldon. The dialogue is kid-friendly without being condescending, and Zorro's rapier-like wit adds to the excitement.

The Walt Disney Treasures set contains rare archival footage, a featurette on the Zorro legend, and a 1960 two-part special featuring Rita Moreno and Gilbert Roland. Fans of Zorro will find "new dangers and new thrills" in The Complete Second Season.
