This list of one-shot cartoons comes from the resourceful but unregistered Ben Simon. It differs slightly from ichabod's list and offers further educated speculation...

Saw the mention on the site about the "Rarities" tin. Nice to see some
"official" Alice product coming out, but otherwise this is going to be
what
most of us imagined. Now, a list of the company's "one-shot" cartoons
is
pretty extensive (see below), but I'm willing to bet that the Wartime
cartoons will have been accounted for in that set, and that shorts and
featurettes with characters (like Donald In MathmagicLand, etc) will
eventually surface as part of those series. Also, what's the betting
that
they stick to original, Walt-produced cartoons as opposed to ones
produced
after his death (or at least they'll end in the 1970s).

Now, take out the War, character series, previously Treasure-released

way post-Walt ones (such as anything past The Small One, which as you
know

Man, Monsters And Mysteries – 1974
That's still a lot to pack in to a 2-disc set, so one could assume that
you
could lose the musical shorts that were on the Fantasia Anthology
(Adventures In Music: Melody, and Toot, Whistle, Plunk, And Boom) and
maybe
the Casey Bats Again and Man, Monsters And Mysteries featurette that
were on
previous discs, and it becomes more feasible, as these films were
usually
two-reelers, coming in between 12-25 minutes in length.
My hopes (apart from personal favorites Ferdinand The Bull and Ben And
Me)
are for The Story Of Anyburg USA, The Truth About Mother Goose, both
Freewayphobias, Scrooge McDuck And Money, It’s Tough To Be A Bird and
Dad,
Can I Borrow The Car? to really make the cut, as these are very rare
shorts
that have not really been seen since their initial releases.
I know this list is mostly educated conjecture at this point, but I
think
the info would be interesting to share with your readers as to what
kind of
things to expect. Of course, they could go a two-volume route, which
would
be grand too, but these are certainly the titles they'll be picking
from.
Some interesting stuff there and Rarities is certainly shaping up to be the set I'm most intrigued to see.
