Not sure how many people remember this show, or even consider it a project worth taking, but I like the show, and so does my 7 year old sister.

The show was released on DVD in the UK, but the UK used a different intro (same music) and different credits compared to what aired in the US on Nickelodeon (which is what I grew up with). To compare, here is a YouTube link of the UK version, a full episode, just to give you an idea of both the intro and credits used on the DVD:

This is the intro used in the US airings (the episode title appears during the intro instead of the episodes themselves, so I would have to get the intros for all 26 episodes):

And last, the end credits used in the US airings:

What I want to do is very simple: Intro from the US version (with episode title and all) + episode itself from the DVD (nothing different there between the US and UK versions) + end credits from the US version. Now the credits are easy, since it’s the same sequence used for all 26 episodes. The tough part is the intro. If anyone who is interested in the project can help me out in that regard, it would be much appreciated.

Now, for what I do have: I have the UK DVD and one of the VHS releases (Rabbits, Rabbits Everywhere), so I can source the credits and the intro to that episode at least from that. I had considered doing an edit of the intro by embedding the text for the episode title. I don’t know what to do there.

Right now, this project is in its earliest stage…mere planning and gathering of material.
