Disc One Notes

Gene Deitch's Dicky Moe (1962) is prominently featured on a Disc 1 menu screen, but is nowhere on the set.

Just as they were on the original release of the Spotlight Collection, Vol. 1, the shorts The Milky Waif and The Little Orphan have been edited to remove scenes where characters are seen in blackface. Likewise, as it had at one time been on Vol. 2, the short The Lonesome Mouse has redubbed dialogue to remove the stereotypical dialect of the African American maid (Mammy Two Shoes).
