==Availability of the shorts as separate features== Although the two shorts were not individual full-length features, as was the original intention, they did air as individual episodes on [[Walt Disney anthology series|Walt Disney's anthology TV series]] in the 1950s and 1960s. ===''Bongo''=== ''Bongo'' aired as an individual episode on a 1955 episode of the Walt Disney anthology series with new introductory segments, which used Jiminy Cricket's narration and singing in lieu of Dinah Shore's. The short was released separately in 1989 in the Walt Disney Mini-Classics VHS line. ===''Mickey and the Beanstalk''=== The short aired as an individual episode on the Walt Disney anthology series twice with new introductory segments, first in 1955, with [[Sterling Holloway]] replacing Edgar Bergen as the narrator after being introduced by Walt Disney. Holloway's narration was released as a stand-alone short in such venues as the 1980s television series ''[[Good Morning, Mickey!]]''. This version also frequently aired alongside ''[[Dumbo]]'' during the 1980s. A brief clip of this version was one of many featured in ''[[Donald Duck's 50th Birthday]]''. ''Mickey and the Beanstalk'' aired as a short film on a 1963 episode of the Walt Disney anthology series with new introductory segments featuring [[Ludwig Von Drake]] (voiced by [[Paul Frees]]). Von Drake replaces Edgar Bergen as the narrator in the 1963 version, for which he has a ''Bootle-Beetle'' companion named Herman (replacing the sassy comments of Edgar Bergen's ventriloquist dummy Charlie McCarthy). In the short film version of the feature, Ludwig Von Drake reads a book about [[fairy tale]]s in which he shows four pictures and clips from a few of Disney's most well-known animated features, including the [[Evil Queen (Disney)|Evil Queen]] transforming herself into an old hag in ''[[Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937 film)|Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs]]'' (1937) and [[Maleficent]] transforming herself into a dragon in ''[[Sleeping Beauty (1959 film)|Sleeping Beauty]]'' (1959). The Ludwig Von Drake version of ''Mickey and the Beanstalk'' was released separately in 1988 in the Walt Disney Mini-Classics line. This version was then re-released, in 1994, as part of the Disney Favorite Stories collection. The Ludwig Von Drake version of the feature is available as part of the Disney Animation Collection (Volume 1). A third version of ''Mickey and the Beanstalk'' was featured on the Disney television show "[[The Mouse Factory]]", which aired from 1972 to 1974. This version starred [[Shari Lewis]] and Lamb Chop. In 2004, the theatrical version of ''Mickey and the Beanstalk'' (with Edgar Bergen's narration) was released as a bonus feature on the [[Walt Disney Treasures]] set ''Mickey Mouse in Living Color, Volume Two''.
