Difference between Two Versions

Hi, so I have a question - does anybody know what is on the longer version (the one narrated by a magic mirror) that is NOT on the shorter original one (the one narrated by a talking pumpkin). In terms of narrators I have always been partial to the talking pumpkin (I don't know why, I think it has to do with how kitschy the effect of the puppet is, and the old early 80s Halloween decorations that look like a dated advertisement page from a magazine of the era). But apparently there are segments not included on that version that are in the magic mirror.

So in short, what different stuff does the magic mirror version include? Does it include everything the pumpkin one has?

The extended version doesn't contain Sleepy hollow or 101 Dalmatians and different parts of Peter Pan, and doesn't include Pluto stuck in a sweater scaring the daylights out of Minni and Figo.

In the extended version there is a segment with Winnie the Pooh and hefflelumps and woozles, in addition a darker side going into history about black cats and superstition and how thousands of innocents were hanged and burnt for witchcraft. Where villains are concerned, added are scenes from Sleeping Beauty, the Jungle Book, Cinderella and The Rescuers. After the villain segment is an old cartoon where Mickey, Goofy and Donald are ghost catchers set up to come to a haunted house so the ghosts can have fun, and it ends with a Donald Duck cartoon in which Hazel the Witch helps Huey, Duey and Louie get their treats from Donald instead of his trick firecrackers.
