Notes

• This was the only dub of The Magic Roundabout to have more than one actor in the cast not counting the Pinwheel dub of the series.
• As the negative for the English version was supposedly damaged, the DVD release recreated the English titles.
• The opening music is out of sync in the English version, most likely due to the opening credits being shortened.
