Now for the bad news:

What is missing from the above list? "Mouse Cleaning" and "Casanova Cat". Back in 2011, when Golden Collection Volume 1 was on the way, it became public knowledge that a new print of Mouse Cleaning had been located, and it was widely reported that the studio was spending money to clean up the footage in order for it to be included on DVD. And if it was on the disc, then there was no reason to believe Casanova Cat wouldn't also be there. Now fans feel cheated, as if a promise has been broken.

There is a Facebook campaign started in response to this so go there and show your support for putting the missing cartoons back into their historical context and order.
