    • Guard Dog (HD, 5 minutes): A 2004 Oscar-nominated short from Plympton revealing a dog's wildest fears as its owner takes it for a walk. The short has been restored by the Academy Film Archive and is presented in 1080p with LPCM 2.0 audio. (See screenshot #39.)

Each frame of damaged footage was digitally cleaned; Plympton's hope being that his fresh take on the classic would bring the genius of McCay to the attention of a new generation of animation fans. Presented in 1080p with LPCM 2.0 audio. (See screenshot #40.)
