The series:

Edited for Syndication: Hence Better on DVD.
- The Disney Channel/Toon Disney versions of this show (and other shows under the Disney Afternoon umbrella) were edited to remove a lot of gun violence, anything dangerous that impressionable viewers could imitate (for this show, it was messing with electric wires), and scenes considered too scary or intense for younger viewers.
- In "Sir Gyro De Gearloose", when Merloon is trying to make Gyro's magnet work by slamming it into the table, he says "Work, Work, Work!", but because of his accent, it sounds like he is saying "F***, F***, F***!" instead. This is why they eventually dubbed that sentence over again. The original VHS tape has the original dialog, but the DVD has the new version of the sentence.
Fake Brit: Duckworth speaks in an approximation of an upper-class English accent, though his voice actor Chuck McCann is from New York.
Hey, It's That Voice!: Megatron is a demonic banana!
- Huey, Dewey, Louie, and Webby have a "berry"^[1] distinctive voice as well, although in this show, the actress in question uses one of her "weirder" sounding voices.
- Scrooge McDuck was once the proud owner of a talking horse.
- Mrs. Beakley was once a a talking golden flute.
- Ma Beagle (and for that matter Magica De Spell) is also a a flying squirrel, a a gummi bear, and others.
  - In particular, you may notice that Magica sounds suspiciously like an eternally unlucky spy from Rocky and Bullwinkle by the name of Natasha: June Foray uses very similar voices for both.
- Admiral Grimace is either the leader of the Autobots, a depressed donkey, or Monterey Jack.
Keep Circulating the Tapes: Not all episodes were issued on DVD. And some countries only released the movie!
Talking to Herself: Russi Taylor did the voices of Huey, Dewey, Louie, and Webby, so this was an inevitability.
- Very many of the voices for the more minor characters in episodes were provided by Peter Cullen. There are several episodes where nearly every male character that isn't a main character is him, conversing with each other or not.
- In the episode "Earthquack", Scrooge is imprisoned by a guard also voiced by Alan Young.

-=== The games: ===
-* [[Keep Circulating the Tapes|Keep Circulating the Carts]]: Disney owns the characters while Capcom still owns the source code. This problem will likely keep either game from being rereleased on the Wii's "Virtual Console" for quite some time.<ref> This is similar to the [[Batman (TV)|Batman]] problem.</ref>
