I think Golden Age shorts that are available as bonus features in non-collection specific releases, but are in HD, should be mentioned as well.
Just to name a few:
Bambi Signature Edition- Oswald the Lucky Rabbit: "Africa Before Dark"
The Sea Hawk- Porky's Poor Fish cartoon
Yankee Doodle Dandy- Yankee Doodle Daffy

[JulesAndJim]

The Diamond Edition of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs has a bonus disc with several Silly Symphonies in HD, including "The Skeleton Dance," "Music Land," "Goddess of Spring," "Flowers and Trees," "The Old Mill," and "Babes in the Woods."

That was only on the third Golden Collection - all other sets and releases have the text card.

Hey, if it gets the cartoons cleared through legal...

So the blu has the same set up? It's silly as F that there needs to be a forced disclaimer.

[robtadrian]

I wonder if these cartoons had a pro-Communism theme would there be whining about a disclaimer on that?

There's Reiniger's Adventures of Prince Achmed, Animal Farm, and Halas & Bachelor shorts released in the UK. A collection of Yuri Norstein shorts in Japan. Uproar in Heaven in China (but it is heavily altered). Tales of Alexander Pushkin from Russia. There are more classic foreign animation blu-rays too. I just can't think right now. I'll check and post later.
