Notes
- On this release, the first four shorts' color saturation was remastered. In addition, the first two shorts also had minor edits from their original masters as follows:
- The Adventures of André & Wally B. was formatted in 16:9 widescreen.
- The original master of Luxo, Jr. (with the original Pixar logo) uses the audio from its Toy Story 2 version and is oddly missing the David Lindup "Take a Bow" fanfare in the original Pixar logo.
- Knick Knack uses the newer version that was featured with Finding Nemo.
