Released by Turner Home Entertainment instead of MGM/UA or Warner Home Video, this set functions a bit as a documentary hosted by Leonard Maltin on how cartoons didn't target children back in the day, but rather the general adult audience. The featured shorts didn't quite get the message across, considering they remain often aired on children animation blocks on Turner networks and other family-oriented TV channels. However, the highlights come from the interlude material provided by Maltin, of which clips of several seldom-seen shorts were showcased, including shorts in the Censored Eleven. This is the last volume of Cartoon Moviestars to be made available on LaserDisc. All of the shorts included here, including the MGM shorts, are restored on Blu-ray.

It is highly not recommended to get this set for collection's sake. It consists primarily of double dips shorts or inferior versions of the best available shorts, or is a cut down version of a bigger set that generally have the same cartoons. If this set is old, most of the shorts might have been updated to better versions. Getting this set is not worth its value compared to higher rated sets, and should be avoided for collector's purposes.
