* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: The version that Disney animated in the 1.37:1 Academy ratio, for theaters unable to show widescreen movies, has only received one official home video release, when it was released on VHS and LaserDisc. Reissues of the movie on newer formats only feature the [=CinemaScope=] version, leaving the Academy version unable to view, aside from some clips included in some of the bonus features.

* ScrewedByTheLawyers: Peggy Lee sued Disney when the film was released on VHS and LaserDisc, citing that her contract did not allow them to use her voice on video. She eventually collected a seven figure sum, and Disney began including in their contracts rights to "media not yet existing." The same thing happened with the Mexican Spanish dub, as Tramp's voice actor (Roberto Espriu) sued Disney for the same reason, forcing Disney to do another dub with a different cast at Prime Dubb/[=SDI=] Media de México.

** Actually, the night with Tramp is in the autumn.
