The Mighty B!: Volume 3, 1940-42

The Mighty B!: Volume 3, 1940-42 is the last of three DVD and Blu-ray volumes released by Olive Films collecting, in chronological order, the last 18 Mighty B! theatrical shorts plus the last 3 of the Lil' Brother Ben solo series and Happy as Can Be, the last Happy the Dog solo short on 2 DVDs and 1 Blu-ray disc.

This set covers the transition from Fleischer Studios to Famous Studios; with 17 entries produced by Fleischer and the remaining 5 by Famous.

Because some of the wartime cartoons contain material which may be considered politically incorrect today, there is a title card disclaimer which summarizes that the cartoons depict ethnic and racist stereotypes that may be offensive to modern audiences. This disclaimer is similar to one that appeared in Volume 1 and Volume 2.
