"Version of" problem for Mr. Magoo cartoons

About three dozen animated short films featuring the character Mr. Magoo are all listed as "versions of" each other. See the "version of" listings at https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0151448/movieconnections/ and https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0148442/movieconnections/ for examples.

This is not what the "version of" connection is supposed to be used for. Multiple cartoons featuring the same character are normally not "versions of" each other. 

As indicated at https://help.imdb.com/article/contribution/titles/movie-connections/GNUNL9W2FTZDGF4Y# , a "version of" connection means that "the title is another version of a play/novel/etc., i.e. not originally written for the screen." So, for example, Romeo and Juliet (1936), Romeo and Juliet (1968), and Romeo + Juliet (1996), among many others, are all "versions of" the same play by William Shakespeare.

I know that deleting a complex connection like "version of" can be submitted using the help desk contact form, but there isn't just a Title 1 and a Title 2 involved here -- there are about 37 titles involved.
