## Trivia

* It was confirmed that this video was originally going to have a forest section. It was going to be in this order:
	1. Squirrel (The Bartered Bride, Furiant)
	2. Fox (Peer Gynt, Anitra's Dance)
	3. Bear (Peer Gynt, Arabian Dance)

* There is evidence of this and Neighborhood Animals being filmed at the same time. The back girl (named 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.
* This was the final video to be distributed by Family Home Entertainment and Artisan Entertainment. (Disney bought BE in November 2001)
* This was the first video to have music by Smetana, Grieg, Mendelssohn & Dvorak.
* This was the first video to feature music from composers who are from Czechia (Smetana and Dvorak).
* This video marks the first appearance of Neptune The Turtle, Noah The Elephant, Issac The Lion, and Lizzy the Tiger, although they only appeared as cartoons and weren't given names yet.
* This is the first appearance of all puppets except Jane, who appeared in Baby Shakespeare.
* After the F.H.E. Kids Logo appears before The Baby Einstein Company logo, the screen fades to white instead of black on the 2001 VHS.
