Remastered Episodes

Throughout the years, Big Idea has remastered many of their episodes, either reanimating some of the graphics or editing some of the sound.

These remasters of the episodes are easily noticeable due to them having high quality graphics and color adjustments compared to the originals that had low audiovisual quality. Currently, only three episodes have been remastered from their original Everland Entertainment masters on DVD: Why, Charlie Brown, Why?, The Wright Brothers at Kitty Hawk, and The Star of Christmas (which however only occurred in the Australian DVD releases as the American DVD versions still had the episodes fully remastered and edited as usual).

## VeggieTales

* A Boy Named Charlie Brown:
	+ Sometime after its initial release, this episode was first remastered in 1994, with many audiovisual edits being made, some shots cut here and there, and the credits placed at the very end of the video rather than at the end of each segment.
		- However, when remastered again in 1998, despite the 1994 master being reused, a slower fade-in was added to the start of the opening countertop, the still of Bob reading the letter Lucy Anderson wrote was freeze-framed, and masking was applied to one closeup shot of Larry when he says "It turned out there weren't any monsters at all!" to cover the interlacing glitches of the countertop background. The brightness and contrast was also modified on the latter scene. The screen fades out faster at the end of the closing credits as well, and the 1997 Big Idea closing logo (with the "**©1998 Big Idea Productions, Inc.**" byline) was added.
	+ When it was re-released as both a 10th Anniversary edition in 2003 and a part of the VeggieTales Classics line in 2004, it still uses the 1998 master without having any of the colors, brightness, contrast, or audio edited, but the picture was cropped.
		- However, international versions of the episode (including its 2nd Os Vegetais master) have adjusted the colors, brightness and contrast like with any VeggieTales Classics remaster of an episode, despite the picture being uncropped in this case.
	+ When it was remastered again in 2008, the entire visuals from the 1998 master were still used but with saturated picture, and the audio was remastered to 5.1 surround sound and also utilizes remastered audio of some of the songs taken from the 1998 release of VeggieTunes. The Water Buffalo Song also uses a re-recorded version from VeggieTales Live!.
* Being Thankfulness is Serious? was the only episode in the entire series to have been remastered in its original version with no edits to the visuals and sound in any reprints, likely due to most of the raw project files being deleted while Why, Charlie Brown, Why? entered production.
	+ The only edits to the episode in reprints, both of which don't count (since they have always been added on reprints of any VeggieTales episode), are the theme song being replaced with the 1998-2000 or 2001-2003 versions and the 1997 Big Idea closing logo with the "**©1998 Big Idea Productions, Inc.**" byline being added after the credits.
	+ Reprints of the episode from the 2004 DVD onward just use the 1998 master of the episode with no changes besides the brightness being slightly adjusted.
	+ Despite the episode itself not being remastered significantly, the episode had changes floating around in miscellaneous releases outside of the episode's main reprints:
		- The episode's songs were somehow remastered with clearer vocals for all or most parts of the songs. A most notable example of these changes were the coconuts' backup vocals being added to the final verses of The Thankfulness Song. The remastered versions of the episode's songs can be heard on the 1998 reprint of the first VeggieTunes album, while the remastered version of the Thankfulness Song can also be found on the 2004 remaster of Charlie Brown's Silly Songs!.
		- Dad Asparagus's "disco tie" animation error was fixed in one shot. This edit was only seen in international releases. (See List of Foreign Localization Cuts)
* Why, Charlie Brown, Why?:
	+ This episode was re-rendered in 1998, also re-animating two shots during Love Your Neighbor to correct any animation errors.
	+ The 2003 DVD that came later has minor sound differences and replaces the 1995 audio of I Can Be Your Friend with the audio from the 1998 release of VeggieTunes.
	+ When Why, Charlie Brown, Why? was remastered in the VeggieTales Classics release, the brightness, contrast and gamma was adjusted.
* You're in Love, Charlie Brown:
	+ Later copies of the original 1995 VHS fix the framerates in some school scenes. While the 1998 release retains this edit, the 2002 DVD onwards oddly retains the slower framerates in these scenes from the first edition of the original 1995 VHS.
	+ Starting with the 1998 release onwards, the Bunny Song's lyrics were rewritten.
	+ The 2002 DVD has the brightness, contrast and gamma adjustments corrected variously per scene, has multiple sound differences, and fixes a graphic error with the school's windows at the end of Stand Up!. The 1997 Big Idea logo with smaller 1998 copyright text than what was found on the 1998 release.
* Snoopy's Reunion:
	+ Like with the previous episode above, the brightness, contrast and gamma of this episode was edited in the DVD release, possibly due to Goliath's skin being too dark for his mouth to be barely seen in the original master. There are also minor sound edits, such as Goliath's stomping sound effects added in areas whereas it was missing in the original version, the characters' voices echoing was added in the scene where Snoopy plays his favorite songs with his siblings, and Snoopy's guitar swooshing sound effect before the credits being replaced.
	+ Every reprint of the episode has different photos of the human caricature in "Larry's Traveling Song" when Archibald shows the Rorschach tests: two different versions of Robert Ellis' caricature (one having his head pasted over Sonny Bono's) in the 1998 and 2000 versions respectively, and Mike Nawrocki's caricature in the 2004 reprint onwards. This was done out of respect for Sonny Bono (whose caricature was present in the original version) after his death in 1998.
* A Charlie Brown Christmas:
	+ This episode was heavily reanimated (also with many sound differences) in 1997, especially for the VeggieTales Christmas Spectacular! that came out one year later.
	+ The 2001 VHS replaces the 1996 Big Idea logo with the 1997 Big Idea logo with the 2001 copyright info.
* The Wright Brothers at Kitty Hawk:
	+ Some animation errors from the original master were fixed in the 1998 release and other re-releases.
	+ Starting with the 1998 release onwards, Dolly's Song's lyrics were rewritten.
	+ In the original master, during the scene after Dolly turns the lamp on, the whole entire Dolly's bedroom lights up. However, in the next shot with Bob, the lights are still dimmed. This error was later fixed when the episode was remastered as part of the VeggieTales Classics re-release, where they adjusted the brightness.
	+ When the episode was rereleased on DVD, some sound effects are missing from the original VHS release (e.g. a horse sound effect after the opening credits).
		- The original master of the episode with these sound effects is still included on the *Heroes of the Bible!*: "Mayflowers, Wright Brothers and Rivers (Oh My!)" VHS and DVD releases.
* You're Not Elected, Charlie Brown:
	+ When the episode was rereleased on DVD, some of the sound effects are missing from previous releases. However, it retains the 1997 Big Idea logo with the 1997 copyright info from the original 1997 VHS.
* It Was My Best Birthday Ever, Charlie Brown:
	+ In the 1999 VHS and further reprints of this episode, several edits take effect in the second half of the video as follows:
		- For some reason, during Mimi's line "Oh, hello! Are you from the neighborhood? My name is Mimi. I'm happy to meet you", there is a bizarre splicing error of the footage with visible fading between frames.
		- Some close-up shots of Bob and Larry were modified or fixed.
		- One scene where Larry says "We have to get the party hats, and even some ingredients for the cake" (from the close-up of Larry, Lucy, Sally and Charlie Brown zooming out to the wide shot of the store), more lighting was added since the walls on the store on this shot looked darker in the original 1997 version.
	+ On the 2002 DVD, some sound effects are different from the original 1997 VHS release.
	+ The 2002 DVD has the brightness, contrast and gamma adjustments corrected, and there are also some sound differences (i.e. the beginning percussion of "Getting Ready" just before the end credits start is missing). The 1997 Big Idea logo's copyright info is the same as is from the original 1997 VHS but slightly altered in letter positioning.
* Mimi and Linus van Pelt's Big River Rescue:
	+ Some animation errors were later fixed in the 1999 release and in later re-releases.
	+ In the 1999 VHS and further reprints of this episode, several edits take effect of the video as follows:
		- Mimi's frightened expression is fixed.
		- During the scene where Linus shows up with an album reading "Mama Belle and Cousin Dolly", more lighting was added since the trees looked darker in the original 1998 version.
		- Some shots of Mimi and Linus were fixed.
		- In one scene where Mimi says "--before the government man gets there and decides we starved...or got run off by BEARS!", there is a splicing error of the footage with visible fading between frames.
	+ The brightness, contrast and gamma adjustments were adjusted variously per scene.
	+ Starting with the 2003 VHS/DVD releases onwards, "She's My Friend" were rearranged with the lyrics.
	+ Charlie Brown's line "Obviously, you've never been to the south" is re-dubbed.
	+ When the episode was rereleased on DVD, some of the sound effects are missing from the original VHS release (e.g. a bird chirping after the opening credits).
		- The original master of the episode with these sound effects was included on the *Heroes of the Bible!*: "Mayflowers, Wright Brothers and Rivers (Oh My!)" VHS and DVD releases.
* Heather Wold:
	+ In the original master of the episode, one scene where Heather cries about the stuff she always wanted, there is an animation error where Larry hops away is twitching due to rigging error. This error was fixed on the 1999 release and other re-releases.
* The Star of Christmas:
	+ The 2003 DVD has the brightness, contrast and gamma adjustments corrected variously per scene, possibly due to the church's walls being too dark in the original 1999 version.
* Someday You'll Find Her, Cavis and Millward:
	+ When the episode was rereleased on DVD, some sound changes were made:
		- The doorbell sound effect after Millward rings is missing. However, it is still present in the 5.1 Surround audio.
		- Millward's line "Look, Cavis, you never need to be afraid to do what's right" is re-dubbed.
		- Cavis and Millward's screaming where they get chased by the bobcat were slightly louder from the original master.
* Dolly... the Girl Who Became Queen:
	+ When the episode was rereleased on DVD, some of the sound effects are missing from the original release.
* You're in the Super Bowl, Charlie Brown:
	+ When the episode was rereleased on DVD, some sound changes were made:
		- Some sound effects are missing during the punt-and-pass kick contest.
		- The sound effect of the crowd cheering after Cavis defeating Melody-Melody is missing from the original release. However, it is still present in the 5.1 Surround audio.
