* ScrewedByTheLawyers: Distribution rights to the "Picturemation" Golden Book Videos depend on the properties being adapted. While Creator/NBCUniversal owns many of the titles (through Classic Media), Creator/WildBrain owns the three Creator/RichardScarry titles [[note]]''3 Richard Scarry Animal Nursery Tales'', ''Old [=MacDonald's=] Farm and Other Animal Tales'', and ''Get Ready For School''[[/note]] (through acquiring Creator/CookieJarEntertainment, producer of both Richard Scarry [[AnimatedAdaptation animated TV shows]] and acquiring distribution rights to all Richard Scarry animated media), Creator/{{Nelvana}} owns ''3 Tales From the Franchise/CareBears'' and ''3 WesternAnimation/MyPetMonster Tales'' (as they produced both properties' animated TV shows and their related films), and Creator/SesameWorkshop owns the two ''Series/SesameStreet'' titles. [[note]]''3 Sesame Street Stories'' and ''5 Sesame Street Stories''[[/note]]

Added DiffLines:

* UncreditedRole: The Golden Book Video titles never credited any of the voice cast members; in most cases one would have to play it by ear to recognize any familiar voices. Though the two ''Series/SesameStreet'' videos do have Caroll Spinney, Creator/FrankOz and Fran Brill [[RoleReprise reprising their respective roles]] and providing some additional voices, and ''Film/TheHuggaBunch'' video features several of the cast members from the live-action TV movie produced around that time reprising their roles.

* UnintentionalPeriodPiece: The song "Word Makers" from "Journey Through the Jungle of Words", due to being based on Ghostbusters, which is an 1980's film series.
* WhatCouldHaveBeen: A [[https://christmas.musetechnical.com/ShowCatalogPage/1985-Montgomery-Ward-Christmas-Book/0180 1985 Montgomery Ward holiday catalog image]] shows a box for a ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'' Golden Book Video that presumably would've adapted books starring WesternAnimation/BugsBunny, WesternAnimation/SylvesterTheCatAndTweetyBird and WesternAnimation/DaffyDuck. However, the video presumably never got made (the catalog blurb states "Looney Tunes not available"), either because the licensing rights from Creator/WarnerBros or getting Creator/MelBlanc (who was already getting up there in years) to reprise his roles would have been too expensive (as the videos were obviously already low-budget productions), or because Warner did not want to tarnish the Looney Tunes' reputation with a "Picturemation" video (having learned their lesson with loaning out the characters from Creator/{{Filmation}}'s ''WesternAnimation/DaffyDuckAndPorkyPigMeetTheGroovieGoolies'' years earlier).
