Omitted Nominees
Below is a list of cartoons that were eligible for this DVD set, but got left off. The most likely explanation for excluding The Old Mill Pond was probably because of its politically incorrect content, caricaturing famous black jazz musicians as frogs, even though these caricatures are tame when compared to other cartoons of the era. Aside from that, the exclusion of the short It's Got Me Again may be because it is the only nominee that was not filmed in color.
The List:
- It's Got Me Again (1932, Warner Bros.)
- The Calico Dragon (1935, MGM)
- The Old Mill Pond (1936, MGM)
- Detouring America (1939, Warner Bros.)
- The Rookie Bear (1941, MGM)
- Greetings Bait (1943, Warner Bros.)
- Life with Feathers (1945, Warner Bros.)
- Rhapsody Rabbit (1946, Warner Bros.)
- Mexicali Shmoes (1959, Warner Bros.)
- Mouse and Garden (1960, Warner Bros.)
- Beep Prepared (1961, Warner Bros.)
- The Pied Piper of Guadalupe (1961, Warner Bros.)
- The Chicken from Outer Space (1995, Hanna-Barbera and Cartoon Network) (it has yet to be included on future Courage the Cowardly Dog DVD sets under Cartoon Network Hall of Fame)

Famous quotes containing the word omitted:
“Histories of the world omitted China; if a Chinaman invented compass or movable type or gunpowder we promptly “forgot it” and named their European inventors. In short, we regarded China as a sort of different and quite inconsequential planet.”
—W.E.B. (William Edward Burghardt)
