Hmm...that sounds interesting. I've seen three of those shorts, and two of them are classics. "Lend A Paw is one of the best shorts Disney ever made.

I have most of these shorts on tape or other DVD's, and besides "The Small One", the only thing to lure me into buying these two would be really attractive, Christmassy cover art.

These were the only two I was actually interested in getting...not so sure anymore.

"The Clock Watcher" (1945) will be on this years Donald Treasure in December...

I am also hoping that "Toy Tinkers" will also be on there as well.. (if they stretch to show the shorts from 1949 !).. I really hope they don't duplicate the wartime cartoons on this treasure.
