There are two types of package films — a film with little or no new animation; usually there is only new bridge animation to link older theatrical/TV shorts together, for example "Daffy Duck's Quackbusters".  The other type has all-new animation and might not always feature bridge animation. " Melody Time" doesn't feature bridge animation, but "The Three Caballeros" does.  Home video releases of older theatrical and TV shorts or TV series are usually released as compilations and might therefore be thought of as packaged, but are usually not considered as such.
