The Warner Bros. animated variety show Animaniacs was rumored to have had a number of Minerva Mink shorts aside from the two released ("Meet Minerva" and "Moon Over Minerva") that never saw the light of day. This was assumed due to the excessively risqué content of the Minerva Mink shorts that were released, and that only two were ever made. Not only that but both "Meet Minerva" and "Moon Over Minerva" have been edited post production by broadcasters, Teletoon Retro being one such broadcaster. On airing "Meet Minerva" on their channel, the title card was different, but it was the same short as "Moon Over Minerva". Notably, her cleavage was clumsily erased in close up scenes.
