List Of Animated Package Films
This is a list of animated package films. There are two types of package films — a film with little or no new animation; usually there is only new bridge animation to link older theatrical/TV shorts together, for example ''Daffy Duck's Quackbusters''. The other type has all-new animation and might not always feature bridge animation. ''Melody Time'' doesn't feature bridge animation, but ''The Three Caballeros'' does.
