Trivia[]
- The two main characters that meet Mickey & friends in the change name from TingTing & Weiwei to Anna & Tommy in newer versions. [2][3]
- This may be due to inclusivity as Tingting and Weiwei are names in Mandarin, though they do advertise in regions that speak such.
- The entire library of videos are remade every couple of years
- This also includes character redesigns, introductions to new songs and using clips from more relevant movies (such as Frozen[4])
