No, what I meant was the shorts may have had only one audio track: a music, SFX, and dialogue track. Meaning, in order to do an English dub version, a new track would have to be produced entirely from scratch: new music, SFX, and the dub audio. That's more expensive (and possibly legally difficult) than just switching the Japanese dub track for a new English dub track, like with the actual series.
How do you know that the specials have separate audio tracks as opposed to music & SFX and the other being the dialogue?

Locomotion
animation, young adults, digital era
Obviously FUNi wasn't able to do it or else they would have. If they did it anyway, I'm sure we'd all be paying at least $5-10 more for the set.
I would gladly pay $20 to get the shorts dubbed
