Regarding the Roger shorts: the last one, Trail Mix Up, contained a "Rugged Tools" (or "Ragged Tools") joke with a woman straddling a chainsaw (as Roger flied past to save Baby Herman from the saw mill). On the UK VHS, the background was all "mushed up" so that we couldn't see the poster. On the original CAV LD (which I have), the poster is clearly there.
I'm not sure which one is on the Vista DVD, but a part of me thinks it could very well be the "uncut" version.

No the poster is blurred out in the Vista version also. The reason for this was a complaint from Rigid Tool company. Rigid (a subsidiary of Emerson Electric at the time) claimed that Disney infringed on their copyright of the Rigid Tool calendar. Which is kind of ironic since Disney is so protective of their own copyrights. Rigid Tool Calendars were somewhat of a cult item and are collectible. I have a few Rigid calendars, one of which has Patty "Apollonia" Kotero of "Purple Rain" fame, posing for June 1984. She is in a simialr pose as the one of Jessica Rabbit is in for the poster in "Trail Mix Up". I would like to find a clear capture of the original scene from "Trail Mix Up" to play around with in a graphics program. I would like to try and make a mini poster of the of it.
