The fifth wave of Walt Disney Treasures was released on December 6, 2005. Starting with this wave the DVD cases are now single opening, but the same size as the previous.
The Chronological Donald, Volume Two
This set covers the second leg of Donald Duck's long career, starting from 1942 to 1946, covering World War II in the process. Most international releases of this set do not include the bonus feature "From the Vault". Six of the eight cartoons are instead included in the main list of shorts, while the shorts Commando Duck and Der Fuehrer's Face are absent. The omission of these shorts have not been explained. Also omitted from the international release is the short Donald's Crime, but this omission was probably due to mistake, as all versions of The Great Mouse Detective DVD include it. The Chronological Donald, Volume Two did not receive the beautiful restoration of Volume One. Prints are worn and the image quality is visibly worse than all earlier Disney Treasures Volumes.
Drawing and Talking 'Duck' with Tony Anselmo: Maltin meets with Tony Anselmo, who is the present voice of Donald and has been so since the mid-1980s. He reveals how he emerged as the man behind the duck and his respect and loyalty to the Disney name.
The Art and Animation of Carl Barks: Carl Barks, although he started out as a storyman for some of Donald's earliest shorts, is best known for the Donald Duck comics. Various relevant individuals give their thought on the man and his work and emphasize his influence on DuckTales (a clip from the episode "The Time Teasers" can be seen during the special) and such blockbusters as Raiders of the Lost Ark.
The Volunteer Worker: An additional short dating from 1940. In this cartoon, Donald goes from door to door trying to collect money for charity, but to no avail when every door he visits slams in his face. His frustrations lead him to the personal testimony of a man he meets on the street who had once benefited from charities himself. Unlike the first Donald set, which featured the cartoon as an Easter egg, this cartoon is displayed in full view on this set.
Timeline: The War Years, 1941–1945: This segment shows off a variety of things that had come out of Disney during these years, using clips and captions in the style of a newsreel.
Galleries: These galleries cover assortments of concept art, storyboard sketches and background paintings from the various Donald shorts on this set.
Disney Rarities: Celebrated Shorts: 1920s–1960s
This set covers many miscellaneous cartoons to come out of the studio that do not feature the usual stable of Disney stars and do not even fit in Silly Symphonies or did not feature the Silly Symphonies title card. This set also includes a few select episodes from the Alice Comedies, which were made in the 1920s in the years leading up to Mickey Mouse's debut.
Alice's Cartoon World: An Interview with Virginia Davis: Leonard Maltin interviews Virginia Davis, who portrayed the little girl, Alice, in Walt's silent comedies of the 1920s
From Kansas City to Hollywood: A Timeline of Disney's Silent Era: A featurette about Walt Disney's journey into the entertainment industry, from an ad company in Kansas City up to the discovery of synchronized sound.
Audio Commentary: Heard over A Symposium On Popular Songs, Leonard Maltin interviews Richard M. Sherman who with his brother Robert wrote the songs for the short as well as several Disney films and theme park attractions from the 1960s–2000s.
Galleries: These galleries include assortments of concept art, storyboard sketches and background paintings from a handful of the cartoons presented this DVD set.
