This is the only time where Angela Lansbury does not voice Mrs Potts, instead being voiced by Anne Rogers.
This film is actually a direct-to-video compilation of three (four for the DVD release) episodes made for an unsold Beauty and the Beast animated TV series. The fourth story (or rather third in the DVD release) Mrs. Potts' Party was also an episode made for the unsold show. However, this episode was first featured in Belle's Tales of Friendship (1999) and only later added to the DVD release of Belle's Magical World.
Crane's voice actor Jeff Bennett would later take over as the voice of Lumiere after Jerry Orbach's death in 2004.
