* EpilepticFlashingLights: The music video "Alphabet Lost and Found" uses a similar technique during the parts where the lyrics go "Where they gonna go without their letters?". During that part, the background would rapidly flash every second a solid color background that matches the missing letter (eg, "A" is blue, so a blue background would flash). When "Here Come the ABCs" got released through a CD/DVD combo through Amazon, they removed this to reduce seizures.

* {{Bowdlerise}}: The album is already made for kids, but two of the music videos were altered for the Playhouse Disney/Disney Junior airings and the DVD/CD combo released through online retailers later in 2005.
** "Alphabet Lost and Found" would flash a solid color background when the song goes "Where they gonna go without their letters?". During that part, the background would rapidly flash every two seconds a solid color background that matches the missing letter (eg, "A" is blue, so a blue background would flash). This was altered on just the background being solid black with the letters being the only ones to change color to reduce seizures.
** "LMNO" originally ended with a kid spray painting graffiti on the wall. This was changed to kids holding balloons, possibly because Disney did not want to encourage vandalism with graffiti.
* PowerOutagePlot: The animated version of "ICU" has the male X watching TV until the power goes out, and misses seeing the weather woman.
