The cartoons of Waterman on Waterman Studios are not the original versions. At the beginning of 2006, Waterman went back and edited the older cartoons to avoid copyright infringements. Waterman also added new content to give a new shine to the older episodes. New viewers enjoy the new additions, but older fans feel the added content to be unnecessary.
