Here's another restoration goof.... that wasn't from WHV, but from Disney themselves!

Besides the inaccurate faux title card, compare the music cue for the titles from the DVD copy of The Mad Doctor:


With a reissue transfer from a televised Disney broadcast (???, there's a Disney logo on the bottom right):


Disney's home video division kept the prelude, yet they faked the title card music from an earlier Mickey Mouse! The case gets worser with "Puppy Love", in which the soundtrack had both of it's beginning music and ending title music faked, the latter with a cheap synthesized organ that's just sick to my ears.

Yeah, it's like if they can't find the original titles and opening or closing music for the black & whites, they have to recreate them in a crummy way.

At least Warner's black and white Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies from 1930-1943 are mostly presented in their original presentation when remastered onto Looney Tunes DVD and/or Blu Ray releases (which has sadly ended since Platinum Collection Vol. 3).

I saw a 35mm print of "Puppy Love" at Film Forum a few years back, and there was NO music over the title cards. I guess the original music must be lost.

Also, as for "Ye Olden Days", I heard the original title music on the colorized version seen on the "Robon Hood" Gold Collection DVD, but subsequent DVDs of the movie use the print from the Disney Treasures set with similar organ music. Even the Blu-ray, which has original titles, use the or organ music.

I actually have a VHS copy of Robon Hood from the Gold Classic Collection with the same colorized print of Ye Olden Days with the original title music intact. But I also have the Most Wanted Edition DVD of Robin Hood with the same WD Treasure copy of the cartoon with the same organ music and incorrect recreated titles.

Weird, since I swear two cartoons had "original footage not found" in one of the volumes of Mickey Mouse in BW.

^From what I recall, the notice said that the original opening music cues were lost.

Well, maybe there were no opening music cues at all, and the music didn't start until the action did. That was the case with The Skeleton Dance and numerous other Silly Symphonies.

True, since I have seen those on YouTube recently.
