## Trivia

* This is the first appearance of Baby Galileo The Kangaroo in Playsoup form.
* This is the only appearance of Baby Galileo’s Mom.
* This is the first video to use Legends and Lore puppets since World Animals.
* This is the first video by Park Place Productions.
* This is the first video to have classical music by Schubert, Debussy, and Chopin.
* If you listen closely to the track that's playing during the "Planets" section, you may notice that one of the instrument parts is a beat off which creates some jarring harmonies.
* The Triple Rainbow Pinwheel by New Tech Kites, Sunny Kite by New Tech Kites, and Geo-Star Crystalite by White Eagle are all from Baby Beethoven, Mini Orbiter by Rabbit Tanaka is from Baby Mozart, Cosmos Kinetic by Carlisle is from Baby Bach, and Venus Rotating Fiber Optic Lamp by Spencer Gifts is from Language Nursery (2004), Baby Mozart and Baby Newton.
* The Spinning Balls Kinetic by Carlisle was later seen in Lullaby Time, Baby Beethoven (2008), and World Of Rhythm.
* Although the video like the other ones was shot in 60 fps, most of this video was however exported with 30 fps. The reason is unknown, but it could likely be an exporting glitch. The only parts of the video to see in the fixed 60 fps are the star scene (in English and 2003 VHS), the puppet shows (in bonus features), the cloud puppet show (in Spanish and French versions).
* In the 2004 remaster, in the english version, the fps were kind of messy making it down to 24 fps. But in the French and Spanish versions, the fps were fixed to 30 fps.
