Extra notes:

• From this video on, the Green FBI Warning screen would be used.

This volume provides examples of:

• Adaptation Expansion: "Little Wooden Head" gets a bridge, a second verse, and a slightly longer repetition of the first verse over what was purely instrumentals in the movie:
  Happy little chap, with a feather in your cap.
  Though they made you of wood, you never give a rap.
  Always doing good, as a little puppet should,
  Chasing each gloomy day away.
  
  Little wooden head, with eyes that shine,
  Little wooden head that's made of pine,
  In a weary world, you do your share
  Spreading laughter everywhere.
  Little wooden feet, and, best of all,
  Little wooden seat in case you fall.
  Never let a single tear be shed,
  My little wooden head.
• Bowdlerize: In "The World's Greatest Criminal Mind", an entire segment where Bartholomew gets punished for calling Professor Ratigan a rat is removed (likely as much because it was originally a very long segment where there was hardly any singing as because of its Mood Whiplash for the darker), as is a portion earlier on mentioning the drowning of widows and orphans and praising Ratigan for it and another portion featuring a harp solo from Ratigan.
• Montage Ends the VHS: From that point on, they use Ludwig Von Drake on the piano trying to sing "Heigh Ho" from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.
• Re-Cut: Little Wooden Head was cut in the laserdisc and the 1993 reprint.
