1!!Here's some additional knowledge about the 1980s version:
2* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: While some episodes were released on VHS in the 80s, the series hasn't had an official full home release since. This is likely because the series was a joint venture between Hanna-Barbera and Tonka (now Hasbro) and thus, rights issues may be at play.
3* TheOtherDarrin: Some of the characters have different voice actors in the series than they did in the original 1985 TV special.
4** Joanne Worley voiced The Nose in the original special. The series [[SuddenNameChange changed her name to Nose Marie]] and had her voiced by Ruth Buzzi.
5** Howler didn't speak in the original special, but his howls were done by Creator/FrankWelker. The series made him [[SuddenlySpeaking capable of speech]] and had him voiced by Robert Morse.
6** Creator/NancyCartwright replaces Adrienne Alexander as the voice of Bright Eyes.
7* RealLifeRelative: Adrienne Alexander, the voice of Brattina as well as the original voice (in the original 1985 special) of Bright Eyes, was the then-wife of future Creator/WarnerBrothers Renaissance Age[[note]]the period during UsefulNotes/TheNineties featuring shows such as ''WesternAnimation/TinyToonAdventures''; ''WesternAnimation/{{Animaniacs}}'' and ''WesternAnimation/PinkyAndTheBrain'' among others[[/note]] writer and director Tom Ruegger.
8* SerendipityWritesThePlot: The reason Captain Slaughter was absent in the second season was because the writers had trouble figuring out what to do with the character and his voice actor Creator/PeterCullen wasn't available.
