PrettyCoolStairs: You're just noticing this now? I've noticed this since October 2018 or so LOL!

I'll explain the answer:

Yes, around 2014-15, for some weird reason, the credits of Seasons 1-13 were repackaged to widescreen format, yet Season 12 / 13, internationally known as just Series 13 outside of the USA, was actually originally produced in widescreen format. Why they didn't repack Season 14-17 at that point as well is beyond me, as 14 / 15 says pbskidsgo.org instead of pbskids.org. (PBS Kids Go! went defunct in 2013, so that is really out-of-date in 2020.) Also, before I go on further, I want to also say that these "repackaged" credits are NOT shown on online prints, like on Prime Video, pbskids.org, or even YouTube, nor are they shown on international airings in different countries, such as on TVO Kids in Canada or on CBBC in the U.K. These are only shown on PBS telecasts.

But anyways, getting back to the subject, these repackaged credits are NOT correct compared to the original versions; as some of you may already be aware of, I have Autism, so maybe I pay more attention to these sorts of details than others. The copyright information is not correct on some seasons; for example, Season 1's copyright information is supposed to be:

"©1996 WGBH Educational Foundation and CINAR Productions Inc., a subsidiary of CINAR Corporation."

But in the repackaged credits, it says:

"Copyright © 1996 CINAR Productions Inc. under license from WGBH Educational Foundation."

There are several other errors I've noticed too; for example, in Season 11's credits, the original version says (and this is correct):

"Animation Produced at COOKIE JAR ENTERTAINMENT INC.; Production Services by AKOM PRODUCTIONS CO."

But the repackaged version says:

"Animation Produced at CINAR ANIMATION INC.; Production Services AKOM PRODUCTION CO."

Especially for the former, this is incorrect, as CINAR rebranded as Cookie Jar Entertainment in 2004, yet Season 11 was produced in 2007. Even though Seasons 9 and 10 correctly list Cookie Jar in the repackaged credits, Season 11 repackaged credits incorrectly label them as CINAR.

People's names are also misspelled sometimes in the repackaged credits; for example, in Season 12 / 13 original credits, Cookie Jar Production Accountant Graciela Valenzuela's name is correctly spelled, but in the repack, her name is misspelled as Garciela Valenzuela. This is just one example of several others.

I could go on about this, but I won't for now. The point is, PBS probably realized these mistakes, so that may be why they took some of them off.
