* HumiliationConga: Porky is put through a lot of abuse for trying to catch the Do-Do, and in the original cartoon, this is capped off by him bawling in tears before he comes up with his plan. The remake changes this so he simply gets knocked dizzy by the pile of bricks, and Porky is shown to run off with the Do-Do in the end, unlike the original, which ends with him learning he was wrong about the Do-Do being the last of its kind.

** Versions of this cartoon distributed by Guild Films and Sunset Productions in the 1950s cut the part where the Do-Do pops into frame onto the Warner Brothers shield and hits Porky with a rock from a slingshot. This cut was made because Warner Bros. did not want to be associated with television back in 1955. A similar cut was made when ABC aired the 1949 shot-for-shot remake of "Porky in Wackyland" called "Dough for the Do-Do" (though this cut was made because of comic violence[[note]]the Do-Do slingshotting Porky's head into the ground[[/note]] and because ABC was controlled by Warner Bros. rival studio, Paramount).

The color remake, ''Dough for the Do-Do'', which was directed by Creator/FrizFreleng and released in 1949, is the version most viewers are familiar with simply because it was a more attractive version to air on colored television during the 1960s, '70s and '80s. However there's also a computer colorized version of "Porky in Wackyland" that aired on Nickelodeon and later Cartoon Network in the 1990's and the early 2000's.
