With the animatic of Doug's pilot being uploaded, (apparently courtesy of Jim Jinkins!) I'm still hoping for the full animated theme (if real) to be found! I commented, we'll see.

I animate, I collect VHS tapes, I breathe in and out and walk around sometimes
Both are him. jim.jinkins came first, it looks like more of a personal account, and then it looks like he set up @realjimjinkins for stuff related to his work.

At this point, I really think there's nothing to this. The theme having an extended version on the CD doesn't really mean anything. DuckTales and several of the Pokémon themes (not counting the movie versions) have extended themes that were released on CDs and never played as a TV opening. And Jim Jinkins probably knows best. I kniw it's been almost 30 years since he worked on the Nick version of Doug, but he seems to hold the series really close to his heart.

Wow, so this was fake. But then again, even creators forget things sometimes. Mr. Jinkins might have only seen the episodes when they were finished and without the theme attached to them, so it’s possible (however unlikely) that he never even knew about the edits.
Based on how the animation looks, I still feel there's a chance an extended versions out there, maybe even cut back in the animatic phase? but of course, Jim Jenkins reply might really end this. unless something new comes up. he might be forgetting something, or he just knows. still, we all did a good Job tackling this one. might sound silly, but I had a lot of fun talking about it. Thanks everyone!

i've just kinda been lurking on this thread but i feel the same way, maybe they made the basic animation for the intro and then the song was shorter than the animation, so they chopped it up and never bothered to fix it in the final release.
