• Notes
  • The version of Clock Cleaners included on this release is the edited version. During the 1990s, Donald Wildmon and the American Family Association persuaded Walmart to discontinue the sale of the VHS tape Walt Disney Cartoon Classics: Fun on the Job!, which contained the film. The reason for this was that during his argument with the main spring in the image to the left, Donald Duck allegedly shouts "F**k you!" (He actually says "Says who?", which is made clear by the spring's reply - "Says I!" Additionally, the Motion Picture Production Code, popularly known as the "Hays Code," adopted in 1930, would never have allowed the language in the first place.) Due to this controversy, on this DVD set, as well as the Funny Factory With Goofy DVD and the Epic Mickey bonus DVD, Donald's line was redubbed with the line, "Awww, nuts", originally said in On Ice. However, the Have a Laugh!, Volume 2 DVD contains the cartoon with the original line reinstated, as well as its original RKO infocard (the title card, however, is faked).
  • In the introduction sequence of disc 1, Leonard Maltin mentions that Mickey was "always surrounded by funny supporting characters [such as] Clara Cluck and Horace Horsecollar in the early days." However, Clara Cluck debuted in 1934 and therefore was not one of Mickey's supporting characters in 1929; likely, Maltin actually meant to refer to Clarabelle Cow in that statement.

Silly Symphonies

This set is more or less descriptive of "The Best of the Silly Symphonies", with the cartoons presented here in arranged by theme. The U.K. release, unlike the U.S. release, has the original "Jewish peddler" visuals restored to Three Little Pigs.
