From NetFlix:
This anthology features the nominees for the 80th Academy Awards Short Film category, including the live-action winner, “Peter and the Wolf,” and the animated winner, “The Mozart of Pickpockets.” Other entries in the collection are “At Night,” “The Substitute,” “Tanghi Argentini,” “The Tonto Woman,” “Even Pigeons Go to Heaven” and “Madame Tutli-Putli.”
Shorts in foreign languages are subtitled. Production values are good and not amateurish as are some collections of shorts. But it was not possible to skip around to various shorts on the DVD.
