• Stock Footage:
  • "You Are a Human Animal" uses footage from All the Cats Join In, For Whom the Bulls Toil, The Aristocats, Farmyard Symphony, You and Your Sense of Touch, Lambert the Sheepish Lion, Birds in the Spring and Figaro and Cleo.
  • "The Ugly Bug Ball" splices in footage from Woodland Café and Mickey's Garden, replacing the stock footage of actual bugs that was used in the original film.
