* The music varies at the tail end of ''Monsters, Inc.''; the widescreen version on DVD, Blu-ray and TV airings of said movie have the closing music ("Walk to Work", an excerpt from Randy Newman's score), but on the 2002 VHS release, the 2002 Australian DVD and the fullscreen version on DVD, the music uses one of the songs ("If I Didn't Have You", sung by Billy Crystal as Mike Wazowski and John Goodman as Sulley) from earlier in the credits reel due to bloopers and a conclusion short being shown earlier on. Some other Pixar movies, like ''A Bug's Life'', ''Finding Dory'', ''Cars 3'', ''Incredibles 2'', and ''Soul'', have their closing themes play over as well, while the closing theme finished during the Disney logo on ''Coco'' and ''Onward''.
