LGE I videos all have the documentary about Walt Disney's early start and the first original Mickey Mouse. LGE II videos each have different documentaries focusing on histories of the specific characters/themes of the video. Including
Mickey Mouse,
Donald Duck,
Goofy,
Pluto, Disney's war cartoons,
Silly Symphonies, and the Academy Award winning shorts. These historical introduction documentaries also include interviews with the likes of

The first "Special Edition" volume was released on October 4, 1988. The three other "Special Edition" volumes were released on June 19, 1992. The shorts featured on volumes 1-5 were all new-to-VHS in the United States and Canada at the time, while shorts featured on all subsequent volumes are duplicated from the earlier "Cartoon Classics" wave and other early Disney VHS releases.
