Notes

• In the book The Encyclopedia of Animated Cartoons, the short "The Egg Collector" is erroneously stated to have been nominated for the Academy Award for Best Animated Short Film in both the Sniffles character description and the Sniffles filmography (although the Academy Award appendix later in the book does not list the short), This is probably due to an order error, since "A Wild Hare," the short that came out right after, was in fact nominated.
