Behind the scenes

 * In 2005, Goldberg gave a warning message played at the beginning of the Tom and Jerry Spotlight Collection: Vol. 2 DVD, addressing the concerns of ethnical and racial prejudices, especially with the depiction of Mammy Two Shoes, as removing her would be as bad as pretending it never happened. In 2014, when discussing a similar warning message by Amazon's Prime Video release of this same collection, Goldberg didn't refer to the former at all. She did a similar message for the Looney Tunes Golden Collection: Volume Three in 2005.
