* KeepCirculatingTheTapes:
** With all the characters from many different companies it's not very likely to have a DVD release, but [[http://www.amazon.com/Cartoon-All-Stars-Rescue-Buena-Vista/dp/B0009XEVFI/ref=sr_1_1?s=movies-tv&ie=UTF8&qid=1345793085&sr=1-1&keywords=cartoon+all+stars+to+the+rescue it was on VHS]], specifically as a free rental for families. Luckily cartoon fans on the net kept the special alive through uploads and there's virtually no problem in finding the special easily.
** The special was originally localized in every country so that their individual world leader would address the viewer and warn against drug use. Finding versions of the special with any world leader aside from President George H. W. Bush can be difficult.
* NoDubForYou: Unlike Latin America, Spain didn't dubbed the special in their dialect and they just used the Latin American dub instead. The only replacement done in this version was the inclusion of the then-ruling Queen Sofia of Spain as the respective world leader.

* UnintentionalPeriodPiece:
** The special opens with world leaders of the early 1990s addressing the audience, with President George H. W. Bush and First Lady Barbara Bush being the most well known.
** [[AvertedTrope The special itself has actually aged rather well]]. There isn't any major slang, fashion or fads present to keep it tied down to the 90s. The only thing keeping it linked to the time period is the fact that it uses popular cartoons from the time, and even that isn't much of a problem since most of them are part of franchises that are still popular and highly recognized to this day.

** The same goes for many foreign dubs, like the Latin American one: The special was dubbed by a Spanish-speaking dubbing studio in UsefulNotes/LosAngeles and dubbed by Hispanics and Latin-American expats. This were not a big problem, if not that, at that time, most of the series that appeared there (excluding WesternAnimation/{{Garfield}}, who was dubbed in Chile instead) were dubbed in Mexico by Mexican voice actors and none of the replacements even bothered to sound like their Mexican ([[WesternAnimation/{{Garfield}} and Chilean]]) peers.

* TheOtherDarrin: The special is the first TV or film production in which the classic ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'' characters WesterAnimation/BugsBunny and WesternAnimation/DaffyDuck were NOT voiced by the legendary Creator/MelBlanc (who had died not long before production began.). He was replaced here by Creator/JeffBergman, the first of many "new Darrins" who would take over the voices of Blanc's large stable of characters.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: MickeyMouse, {{Goofy}} and DonaldDuck were originally planned to appear, but they were replaced by Huey, Dewey and Louie. (If they had gone through with the original concept, it would have been the second time Mickey and Bugs were together and Donald and Daffy together since ''Film/WhoFramedRogerRabbit''.)

* HeyItsThatVoice: General Film/{{Patton}} (George C. Scott) is trying to convince [[Creator/JasonMarsden Max Goof]] (when he's a teenager, not the ''WesternAnimation/GoofTroop'' version of him voiced by Dana Hill) to keep smoking pot. No wonder [[AGoofyMovie Max]] didn't want to stop. If Patton tried to get someone to keep lighting up, they would be both very inspired to do so and too scared to quit. This also conjures up images of Patton giving his opening speech from the movie standing in front of a giant pot leaf flag instead of the U.S. flag).
** Almost all of the characters' original voice actors return to play them, with some exceptions (i.e., Mel Blanc didn't voice Bugs and Daffy because he died in 1989).

* ChristmasRushed: A typical amount of time for a half hour cartoon to be animated overseas is twelve to sixteen weeks. This had to be done in ''six''.[[labelnote:Source]]http://taiwaninfo.nat.gov.tw/ct.asp?xItem=1281&CtNode=124&htx_TRCategory=&mp=4[[/labelnote]]

** Now if only the rest of the characters could have been spared the same fate as well, some of the characters don't even have speaking lines, do they? Example, Tigger sings one lyric in the song, and then never speaks again, even though he appears in one scene later on. [[BigLippedAlligatorMoment Riding a raft with Baby Miss Piggy inside of the main characters' consciousness.]]
** Really, the whole thing reeks of WhatCouldHaveBeen. It's like someone said on the page for ''CaptainNTheGameMaster'' -- in the right hands, this could have been some kind of wacky animated ''LeagueOfExtraordinaryGentlemen'' with a cleverly presented Aesop about drugs. Instead it's...[[SoBadItsGood well, it's entertaining, but for all the wrong reasons]].
