Probably the absolute first set that clearly targets collectors over the general family audience, this set contains a selection of wartime shorts that were produced during World War II. Since they're not aired on television for obvious reasons, it was clear that anyone who had bought this will be getting a large selection of shorts that would never see the light of television.

Once in a while (including at the start), Leonard Maltin gives a brief intermission describing each cartoon before they run. The cartoons here utilizes different prints that were a bit more fresh, having black borders in the opening/closing titles and being slightly more cleaned up.

While it was novel for its time, it has since been usurped by the Golden Collection, which restored all of the shorts included in this set by its end. A few wartime cartoons were left out due to having more superficial themes (such as "Meatless Flyday" and "Brother Brat") or insensitive content (particularly "Bugs Bunny Nips the Nips").
