Does anyone have details about the differences between Disney's "Super Nanny" digests? I've heard the sound version is a different edit than the silent version and was wondering how different they are...

I don't know for sure, (as I've never seen the silent version), but I'm betting the scene where she is holding the bird and it sings on her finger is probably not on the silent version.

That's my guess.

I can help. The sound version includes the entire "Spoonful of Sugar" number, minus the cadenza (where Mary's mirror reflection sings elaborate musical notes, and the live Mary calls her "cheeky"). The silent version includes many more visual scenes, such as the carpet bag which holds a giant mirror, coat rack, etc., and the tape measure which measures Mary at "practically perfect in every way." The animatronic bird is not in this version. The sound edit ends with "Spoonful," while the silent version includes Mary and the children, Jane and Michael, sliding down the staircase on their way to the park.
