* Why do Qubo airings and the DVD box set of this show use the Singapore prints of the episodes, where the original American voice actors are re-dubbed with another English cast? Is this supposed to be an error or something, or do they apparently think the Singapore prints are much better?
** That's possible, but it's also possible that they just plain didn't have the English prints. There are a number of ways things can get [[PermanentlyMissableContent lost forever]], so the Singapore prints could be all they had to work with.
** The most likely explanation for this is royalties from the celebrity voice actors used in the originals. There was likely a contract that only allowed them to license the celebrities for TV airings and whatever home media formats existed at the time (something similar happened with ''[[WesternAnimation/MuppetBabies1984 Muppet Babies]]''). This could explain why the episodes with the celebrity voices were released to VHS and audio casettes, but not DVD.
** Exactly, it might seem crazy from a modern perspective, but [[{{TechnologyMarchesOn}} DVDs and streaming]] just weren't foreseen when PBS commissioned the show back in the mid-[[{{TheNineties}} 90s]]. That doesn't explain the re-runs, though.
