Edits and changes
Since this 4Kids dub was made with preschoolers in mind, the studio had to edit some parts that were in the original series, which was targeted at all age groups but mainly with toddlers in mind, that they did not find appropiate.
 * Kirsten, who was originally a boy in Mumfie, becomes a girl.
 * Any scene which showed Terry acting mean was cut due to parents complaining about his bratty behavior on message boards such as the Nick Jr. ones in the early 2000's.
 * The scene in "The Search For Carla's Mother" with Kirsten being blown away after singing was cut, as it was one of many scenes that scared the target audience. Instead, the characters have to sing to get into the sewer, whose entrance says "Please Sing to Enter". The same episode cuts the scene where Scarecrow's hat gets caught in a branch.
 * All, if not most, scenes with Dark Shadow were cut for being "too scary", and he is only mentioned by the characters. However, he only appears at the end of "Kirsten Saves The Day" when he is defeated by the Rainbow Ring.
 * The infamous holding cell scene is edited out since it scared many kids like the above example. A promo video showed the scene replaced by Kirsten using a toilet.
 * Anytime Terry mistakes "come inside" for it's sexual meaning has been replaced with him saying something else. For example, in "Carla's Snowy Discovery", Kirsten tells him "Terry, wake up! It's snowing!" and he replies "I don't think playing outside in cold weather is a good idea!", foreshadowing what happens to Carla towards the end of the episode.
 * The references to old songs in "Jimmy and the Lost Rules" were replaced by rules about when it was appropiate and not appropiate to sing. His bedtime was changed to 9:00PM instead of 11:00PM, and the scene where Mrs. Suppe changes his clothes was shortened only to the last outfit.
 * In "Kirsten the Ice Superstar", the Fred Astaire joke is replaced by Kirsten asking Terry why she would need the book he gave her.
 * In the series finale, "Kirsten and the Royal Ball", the prince form of is called "Prince Stardust" and is said to be "a version of Terry from another universe". The ending where he disappears due to the spell ending at midnight is cut, and his excuse to leave the ball is that he has to use the bathroom. The ending was also altered, with Terry actually marrying Queen Hope off-screen. This could be due to the original ending having a bad influence on kids, as Terry originally looked like he was throwing a temper tantrum and when he gets up, the way he places his hands on Kirsten looked sexual.
