- On May 26, 1979 CBS aired a 60-minute version.
- When A Boy Named Charlie Brown first aired on television in 1976, the kite sequence, the therapy sequence with Charlie Brown and Lucy, and the musical number "Failure Face" were all edited out for the broadcast.
- The version of the movie released on DVD by Paramount on March 28, 2006, includes several minutes of footage not seen since the film's test screening, including Lucy using an instant replay device to analyze Charlie Brown's attempt to kick the football, and an additional verse of "I Before E."
- The version aired for television cut out the following scenes: -Every scene from the opening credits to Charlie Brown and Linus sitting on the porch drawing in the dirt with sticks. -Snoopy being fed and having his nightmare. -Charlie's appointment with Lucy as a psychiatrist. -The girls singing "Failure Face". -Charlie and Linus studying for the all-school spelling bee. (The "I before E" song.) -The scene with Lucy and Schroeder after Charlie heads off to New York, and the animation of him playing the piano. -Most of Snoopy's ice skating routine at Rockefeller Center, including the whole hockey interlude. However, it does include at least two things that were removed from the original showing: -Lucy going over a few more things Charlie might have to deal with as a celebrity, and how much her fee as his *agent* should be. -Charlie jumping up and spelling out the last word he says in a sentence while studying, then calling room service.
- When the film was remixed in Stereo for its VHS release in July 1983, some sounds came from either the left channel, the right channel, or both channels. Example: The off-screen teacher's "trombone sounds talk" can only be heard on the left channel if the 1983 VHS is being played on a Stereo VHS VCR. These changes were intact on the 1984 (with 1983 tape master) and 1991 VHS reissues, as they also feature Stereo Sound, and the latter contains Stereo Surround sound.
- The film was originally mixed in mono due to budgetary limitations, so a new stereo surround mix was created by Dolby Laboratories for the original 1983 VHS release. A large number of effects were placed on certain stereo channels (example: the trombone language from the unseen teacher in one scene can only be heard on the left stereo channel) while all dialogue (except the sound of a child misspelling the word "abrasive", which can be heard only on the right) was placed on both stereo channels. This same stereo mix has been used for subsequent TV airings and the 1991 VHS re-release.
