Vintage Shorts Index (DVD special features)

Here are some of the vintage short subjects, cartoons, blooper reels (Warner Bros. called them Breakdowns) , etc., that appear as part of the special features for movies in our DVD collection. I decided to compile a list, because I can never remember where to find them. Some are real gems, others are just interesting historically. The old blooper reels are fascinating. This is just a start. I'll be continuously updating this list...unless I get to be too lazy or it becomes too tedious.

Jack Benny in the droll 1930 short The Rounder.
