## Trivia

* This is the longest video ever made.
* This video had the return of many Legends and Lore puppets that had only appeared in one or two videos before; this is the last appearance of Baby Santa the Reindeer, Sunny the Bunny (footage reused in World of Words), Walrus, Polar Bear, Violet the Pink Mouse (footage later reused in Animals Around Me), and Baby Vivaldi the Mallard as a puppet.
* The Accordion and Bontempi Wind Instruments: Saxophone was in Baby Bach and the Play at Home Saxophone was in the 2004 version.
* The Tin Drum was seen in the 2004 version of Baby Mozart and was later seen in the 2008 version of Baby Beethoven.
* It came out exactly three years after Baby Neptune (they both came out on March 18th).
* Despite the rabbits representing Bach, mallard ducks for Vivaldi, giraffes for Beethoven and koalas for Mozart, the percussion section is the only segment where the music matches the BE composer character which in this case is Beethoven. The other segments don't match the music with the BE composers, Haydn instead of Bach, Mozart instead of Vivaldi, and Beethoven instead of Mozart.
* Although one of the songs exclusive to the cd plays Bach, it doesn't play Vivaldi, but the Vivaldi song plays on the DVD menu.
* The back of the cover has a song by Brahms, but they don't have it in the video.
* The CD was released 3 months before the video came out.
