Extra Note:

• When it was reissued in 1994, the old title card was still used.
• During the closing credits, there is a full overhead shot of Manhattan, NY.
• It was rereleased as Volume 5 in 1990 and 1994.
• This was the last volume to have the original tacky music staff boxart.
• This is the only Sing-Along volume to not be re-released with Ocean Waves cover art for reasons unknown (it could be either because of Oliver and Company's lack of popularity compared to the rest of the movies that got sing-along volumes, or to avoid confusion as the title song of the video is not from the same source the video is themed around)

This volume provides example of:

• Re-Cut: On the European version (known as 101 Notes of Fun), "Let's All Sing Like the Birdies Sing" was removed and replaced with "Cruella De Vil". Also, the reprise of "Why Should I Worry?" was replaced with the reprise of "Cruella De Vil".
• Stock Footage: "Let's All Sing Like the Birdies Sing" uses footage from Bambi and Birds in the Spring.
  • "Old MacDonald Had a Band" uses footage from Toot, Whistle, Plunk and Boom.
  • Von Drake's hosting segments are from A Symposium on Popular Songs, "An Adventure in Color" and "A Square Peg in a Round Hole" (later renamed "Goofing Around with Donald Duck").
