Brady Dolittle 2

"***Brady Dolittle 2: World Animals - A Musical Safari***" is the 8th Brady Einstein episode in the series to be released and another video to be made by Valerie LaPointe. It teaches your child about 9 animals in 3 different habitats. The featured habitats are the jungle, the ocean, and the savanna.

The 9 animals are the tiger, tropical bird, monkey, sea turtle, dolphin, fish, elephant, giraffe and lion.

It was later released on July 24, 2001. It was later reissued twice during the Silver Age, once on February 26, 2002 in which edited out the "Thank You" credit, and again on November 5, 2002 which was retitled as Baby Einstein: World Animals, and had the opening and closing credits style that would be used on all original videos in the Bronze Age, and later sold as just *World Animals* in the Disney releases. It was later remade sometime in 2004, with some alterations and later remain the same in 2010 & 2014. It is released to universal panning and became Disney’s biggest box office disaster.

## Trivia

* This is the second animal themed episode.
* The video can be considered a sequel (or companion) to Neighborhood Animals.
* This is the first appearance of Roary the Lion and Wanda the Fish.
* This is the only appearance of Baby Mozart The Yellow Bear, Baby Beethoven The Giraffe, and Fox in Legends & Lore form (footage of them was later reused in Wild Animal Safari).
* This is Markie Scholz's last video as puppeteer (footage later reused in Discovery Kits)
* This is the only appearance of Hunter and Jake (footage of them was later reused in Wild Animal Safari).
* Wild Animal Safari was based of this video and Baby Noah.
* This is the last appearance of Akiala.
* This is the last video to feature only Legends and Lore puppets.
	+ This is the last video to feature the said above until Baby Galileo.
* This is the final pre-Disney video. because usually FHE Kids videos are referred to as Pre-Disney videos.
* This is the last video to be distributed by Family Home Entertainment before the acquisition of the Baby Einstein Company by Disney in late 2001
	+ This is also the last video released before the 9/11 terrorist attack that occurred two months afterwards.
* On top of that, World Animals was released the same day Artisan Home Entertainment released Clifford Tries His Best and Clifford's Schoolhouse, which was on July 24, 2001. These were the only videos to be released the same day World Animals was released.
* World Animals was also going to have a forest section with Bear, Fox, and Squirrel, but it was removed because the other videos are usually over 20-25 minutes long, and this one would have taken too long (possibly longer than Meet The Orchestra). The puppet show that would have been in this section was used after the credits; this should explain why most people prefer Neighborhood Animals. If the forest section was included, the environment order would have been: jungle, forest, ocean, and savanna. Some people may think the forest section should have been put last since it may have had the same page transition sound effects as the river environment from Neighborhood Animals, with the savanna section (having the same page transition sound effect as the yard section) being moved between jungle (same sound effect as house) and ocean (same as farm).
	+ However, the 2010 Wild Animal Safari did contain the forest section, which had Bear, Deer, and Otter (the latter from Neighborhood Animals).
* The 2001 DVD Concert Hall has music from the World Animals Soundtrack CD.
* Also on top of that, the World Animals Soundtrack CD is enclosed on the 2001 - 2002 VHS, except on the Late 2002 VHS, which comes with the World Animals Audio Sampler CD that has the same music as the Neighborhood Animals Audio Sampler CD. However, some copies of the Late 2002 VHS come with the World Animals Soundtrack CD.
* This is the second video having Dan Willis in the Baby Einstein Music Box Orchestra, the first being Neighborhood Animals, despite him not being credited before the 2004 re-release.
* This is the first video to have classical music by Smetana, Mendelssohn, Dvořak & Grieg.
* This is the first video to have a song by Jack Moss.
* The G.G. Giraffe appeared in Baby Bach, the Mr. Monkey appeared in Baby Shakespeare, and the Giraffe Cone Puppet and Jack-in-the-Box appeared in Baby Van Gogh.
* This video is the first video without Sierra Clark.
* The footage of the orangutan showing its lips and smiling was reused in World Animal Adventure.
* There is evidence of this and Neighborhood Animals being filmed at the same time. Akiala Nanyamka, who is shown singing in Neighborhood Animals and wearing a tiger hat in World Animals, is wearing the same clothes in both scenes.
* If you will look closely at Jane when she pulls the string to reveal the picture of the jungle, you can see her puppeteer and some workers.
* The train seen in World Animals resembles the fact that *Thomas & Friends: Best of Percy* was released on VHS the same day this video was released; although the train in World Animals wasn't seen on *Thomas & Friends*, it gives more resemblance to the additional fact that the Bulgy wind up toy is seen in Baby Newton; which was released a week after *Thomas & Friends: Best of James* was released.
