[WoodpeckerWoody]

"Gerald McBoing Boing" (Hellboy 2-Disc Special Edition DVD: Disc One)
"Gerald McBoing Boing On The Planet Moo" (Hellboy 2-Disc Special Edition DVD: Disc One)
"How Now Boing Boing" (Hellboy 2-Disc Special Edition DVD: Disc One)
"The Tell Tale Heart" (Hellboy 2-Disc Special Edition DVD: Disc One)
"Gerald McBoing Boing's Symphony" (The 5,000 Fingers Of Dr. T DVD)

"Kangaroo Kid" (Golden Boy DVD)

the Gerald McBoing Boing cartoons are also available on a separate DVD but its worth it for the Tell Tale Heart, Hellboy and 5,000 Fingers, all good films and worth owning to buy the ones I listed rather than the GMcBB disc.

Skeleton Frolic is also an extra on the DVD of The Lost Skeleton of Cadavre.

Madeline is an extra on the DVD of the live action Madeline film that came out a few years ago.

According to MAchael Barrier's website, UPA (the actual studio) is in talks with Columbia about doing a DVD of the UPA films. What'll come out of that I dunno.

It's a pity (I use this word as a euphemism) that there are so few animated shorts from the Columbia property publicly available, although they put considerable effort in restoring/preserving films from their archives. E.g., some of the early Krazy Kat films (newly struck 35mm prints) have been presented in singular (literally) screenings (here (http://www.cartoonbrew.com/old-brew/krazy-saturday)), but there are apparently no plans to make them available for the general public.
I came across the website of a company that apparently did the restoration of the Krazy Kats (Cinetech (http://www.cinetech.com/html/cinetech.html)). What I find interesting (I'm going slightly off-topic here, my apologies) is a list superscribed "Project Library (http://www.cinetech.com/html/library.html)", which is apparently a list of films the company has done (or is/will be doing?) restoration and which, among many other films, contains many Columbia (Mintz and Screen Gems) shorts. The site even lists rarities like "The Chinatown Mystery" (Krazy Kat, 1932), "Neighbors" (probably the 1935 Color Rhapsody), "Monkey Love" (1935), "Who's Zoo in Hollywood" (1941, was this possibly the first Tashlin-produced cartoon?), "He Can't Make it Stick" (1943 - could this indicate that the film is complete?), "Fowl Brawl" (1947), "Wacky Quacky" (1947), and "Short Snorts on Sports (1948), all of which appear to be missing (at least substantial parts) among GAC traders. If there are no plans to publish these films on DVD, how can those responsible ever sleep tight?
