 Just Some Funny Cartoon Facts!

Something Nickelodeon has been doing for episodes of their shows featuring licensed music is that, to avoid dealing with the legal issues, they cut out the entire A-segment featuring the licensed song, while leaving the B-segment alone. Specific series to follow this trend are ChalkZone, with the segment "The Smooch" (featuring Baha Men's "Coconut") cut from the Amazon DVD of the series, and The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron, Boy Genius, with "Party at Neutron's" (featuring songs from The Movie) removed from the Australian DVD release of the first season. Shout Factory's complete series set released in 2021 included the episode, but with the music changed. In ChalkZone's case, the credits were untouched, revealing both the lost episode and the song that got in the way.

 

• SpongeBob SquarePants was hit by this in the first season. All of the background production music from The Woodies were replaced on most DVD releases. Recent season 5 airings have also replaced two Woodies songs. The first season set also lacked "Help Wanted" due to its usage of Tiny Tim's "Living in the Sunlight, Loving in the Moonlight", which Nickelodeon didn't want to pay license fees for; it later appeared intact as a bonus feature on the season 3 set.

 

• The Simpsons episode "Specs And The City" reuses a Station Ident animation created for Channel 4 of Homer trying to grab beer hanging from a power line, repeatedly causing power surges across Springfield - it then pans upward to a skyline view to show the surges appearing in the shape of a "4". In the episode where this appears, the final shot is awkwardly changed to try and remove the 4, but it's still possible to make it out.
• In "Scenes From The Class Struggle In Springfield", Marge buys a discount Chanel suit and later buys a dress from the label to replace it. According to the DVD Commentarythey were allowed to say "Chanel" in dialogue but were not allowed to show the company's logo. So when Marge checks the suit's label and visits the store the logos are always partially hidden by scenery.
