Trivia[]
- Hosted by Professor Owl.
- The video was originally issued to promote the November 21, 1986 theatrical re-release of Song of the South, celebrating the film's 40th anniversary, and representing the launch of the new home video series of (as yet, unnumbered) Sing-Along Songs videos.
- "Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah" comes second after the "Mickey Mouse March" in spite of headlining the title.
- This video features a short version of the "Mickey Mouse March"; the full version is on The Magic Years.
- Footage for the song "It's a Small World" was taken from Disneyland Goes to the World's Fair, which aired May 17, 1964. On the song itself, the pitch appears to be shifted one semitone higher on the recording after the snake charmer-style music.
- During "It's a Small World", at one point, Professor Owl says "Throughout the world, kids sing this song. Now it's your turn. Sing loud and strong."
- After "It's a Small World" is finished, Professor Owl says "Now on to Wonderland, what do you say? Where every day is a holiday," which leads to "The Unbirthday Song".
- "Casey Junior", while containing the original footage from Dumbo, also contained footage from The Brave Engineer and Mr. Mouse Takes a Trip.
- During "Casey Junior", Professor Owl breaks the fourth wall by saying, "Come on, everybody. Let's help Casey up this big hill. When the going gets tough, confidence helps you pull through. Let's all say 'I think I can, I think I can'."
- "Give a Little Whistle", in addition to the original footage from Pinocchio, also contains footage from Mickey's Delayed Date, Lend a Paw, How to Play Football, Dumbo, The Nifty Nineties, Davy Crockett, The Vanishing Private, Melody Time, The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Make Mine Music, and The New Spirit.
- After "The Unbirthday Song" is finished, the footage of the Dormouse floating down from the fireworks on an umbrella is shown, but his line is re-dubbed to introduce the next song: "Music and magic go hand in hand. They compliment each other. A song can make your dreams come true. That is, if you have a fairy godmother," which then leads to "Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo".
- Ending footage for the reprise of "Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah" was taken from "This is Your Life, Donald Duck" where the Disney gang comes to pay tribute to Donald.
- It was also known as Cancion del Sur: Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah in Spanish when it was released in Spain.
- Known as Cendrillon: Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo in French, released in France and the United States.
- Both the 1994 and 2001 VHS re-release copies are considered the rarest since only a few copies were manufactured into stores.
- The 1986 original print and the 2001 print featured the Sorcerer Mickey logo with "presents" appearing below it.
- For some reason, the 2001 print starts with the same promo featured at the end of the 1990 print, then goes on to the Sorcerer Mickey logo and then the 1994 print's intro.
- This is one of the least internationalized volumes in the series, as only English, Spanish, and French versions are known to have ever been made.
- This is to date, the only known used footage from Song of the South to be ever commercialized on home video in the US, unless counting the international releases, of course.
