## Trivia

* This video marked:
	+ The first appearances of Robert and Keesha.
	+ The first home video to have the teaser trailer for *Barney's Great Adventure: Barney: Do do, oh! Looks like it's coming together nicely! (laughs) Everyone's doing a terrific job, oh boy! Hi! (laughs again, then turns to the viewers) Oh, I guess you're wondering why it's so busy around here. Well, it's because we're working on something very special. It's my first movie, and it's coming soon to theaters everywhere! Oh there'll be singing and laughing and LOTS of excitement! (chuckles) Oh boy, I can just see it now! It's going to be a GREAT adventure! Well, I gotta go. I've got lots of work to do. See ya! (laughs as he walks off) Oh boy, this is going to be stu-u-pendous! (laughs again) Narrator (Earl Fisher): Don't miss Barney, starring in his very first movie. Coming on August 3, 1999, to a theater near you*.
	+ The first home video to have David Bernard Wolf as a musical director. David Bernard Wolf would compose the music for some other home videos such as *It's Time For Counting*, *Sing And Dance With Barney*, and *Round and Round We Go*.
	+ The first home video to use the Lyrick Studios logo.
* The Barney Theme Song in this home video uses the intro from Season 3 (featuring clips from the video, of course). However, when the video's title is shown beneath the "Season 3" logo, instead of saying, "Barney Home Video", it only says "Barney" (to show that this is not an episode from the TV series).
* The toy school bus that Chip was playing with was a "Fisher Price Little People School Bus" with Little People characters inside.
* The set for "Barney's Peppy Purple Pepperoni Pizzeria" would later be renovated in "Waiting For Mr. MacRooney".
* The set for "Barney's Super-Dee-Duper Circus" would later have the same name, but it will be later renovated in *Barney's Super Singing Circus*.
* The preview for this video is announced by Dean Barnett.
