 1998 restored release contains a longer version of "We Are Santas Elves", a  duet reprise of "Were A Couple Of Misfits", plus additional narration by  Burl Ives and two short scenes towards the end resolving Yukon Cornelius  quest for gold (he discovers that all he was really searching for was a  peppermint mine) and Santas lead reindeer Donner looking up at Rudolph in  the air and proclaiming "Thats my buck". The version that originally  premiered on NBC in 1964 had these sequences minus the Island Of Misfit Toys  ending (where Santa and company return to the Island to rescue the toys that  had been left behind earlier in the story)
