The Warner Archive's "Classic Musical Shorts from the Dream Factory."
This 4-disc set features many great MGM shorts in which some future stars make early appearances, such as Virginia O'Brien and, in their last official appearance together, "The Garland Sisters." The younger of the trio, a 12 year old named Judy, would also go on to make something of a stir at MGM! This is the second appearance on DVD of their 1935 Technicolor short La Fiesta de Santa Barbara. It was previous released as an extra on the 2004 DVD release of For Me And My Gal. This new set is jammed full of great, vintage shorts making their debut on DVD. Definitely worth buying.

Judy's 1938 film Everybody Sing is coming to The Warner Home Video Archive. This is the first Judy Garland film to be featured at the Archive, excepting her guest appearance in Thousands Cheer (see below).

No official listing or release date yet, but I was able to get the cover art (see above).
Check out their site for updates and details.

This probably means that any pressed DVD release of "Judy Garland The Early Years at MGM" won't happen. The remaining Garland films yet to be released on DVD are: Thoroughbreds Don't Cry - Listen Darling - Little Nellie Kelly - Andy Hardy Meets Debutante and Life Begins for Andy Hardy. Pepe is unreleased as well, but it only contains Judy's voice for one song on the soundtrack.

The first Garland release was the April 14, 2009 addition of 1943's Thousands Cheer, which features Judy's guest appearance singing "The Joint Is Really Jumpin' Down At Carnegie Hall". This was Judy's first appearance in Technicolor after 1939's The Wizard of Oz. It's also the first time that Judy plays a guest appearance as herself.
