Notes[]
- Five episodes of the series - "Bluebeard", "The Crystal Ball", "The Iron Stove", "The Water Nixie" and "The Godfather of Death" - were never shown on Nickelodeon in the U.S. or released on VHS. While "Bluebeard" was released on a U.K. promotional DVD in 2006, the other four episodes were completely lost until Discotek found them for their Blu-Ray release of the series.
- An alternate version of the episode "The Travelling Musicians of Bremen", using a female narrator instead of Ted Lehmann, was discovered with the four lost episodes and put on the Blu-Ray as well.
- The Mega dub was in turn dubbed into several European languages, however, the original English version appears to be lost.
