Treasures from the Disney Vault, March 2019

We've reached the time once again when the roughly quarterly programming feature Treasures from the Disney Vault shows up on TCM. Leonard Maltin hosts as usual, and the films show up tonight in prime time. This time around, I'm not so certain is use the word "treasures", since I don't think I've heard of any of the night's selections. There are two cartoon shorts, although neither of them stars the more traditional Disney characters. Elmer Elephant (8:00 PM), not Dumbo, is the cartoon elephant, while Country Cousin (midnight) has mice not named Mickey or Minnie).

The whole night's theme is animal movies, with perhaps the most human-centered being The Wild Country at 12:15 AM. At least, that's as much as one can glean from the brief synopses, not having seen the movies. It's got Ron Howard from the period between Andy Griffith and Happy Days. I've heard of Benji, but not the particular Benji movie that will be airing at 3:30 AM.

If you want to see the whole schedule, TCM created a sub-domain that has its own style distinct from the rest of the pages for TCM programming articles.
