## Trivia

* This is the first appearance of Baby Galileo The Kangaroo in Playsoup form who doesn't return until Baby's First Moves without his shirt.
* This is the first appearances of Isabella, Jack and Katie.
* This is the only appearance of Mommy Galileo the Kangaroo.
* This is the first video to use Legends & Lore puppets since World Animals.
* This is the first video by Park Place Productions.
* This is the first video to focus more on vocabulary and complex subjects rather than simple objects.
* This is the first video to add recaps so each word is repeated at least twice.
* This is the first video to have classical music by Schubert, and Chopin.
* If you were to 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, Black Cosmos Kinetic with red ball by Carlisle is from Baby Bach, and Venus Rotating Fiber Optic Lamp by Spencer Gifts is from 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 in the finale were messed up making it down to 24fps. But in the French and Spanish versions, the fps were fixed to 30fps. Again, it is unknown why, but there might have been an error or a glitch in the exporting that Disney didn't have time to fix.
* They forgot to credit Ludwig Van Beethoven in the credits for writing Symphony No. 6, 5th movement (the song in the sun segment).
* This is the last video to include Johann Strauss II's Blue Danube Waltz until Neptune's Oceans, the previous 2 times were Baby Van Gogh (full extended version) and Baby Neptune (same length with different instruments at the end).
* The reason Pluto was the 9th planet in the planets scene, is because this video was made in 2003, and Pluto wasn't considered a dwarf planet until 2006 (3 years after the video's release). Despite that, Disney retained the term Pluto from the 2007 re-release because some people still refer Pluto as the 9th planet (possibly due to the word planet in the term "dwarf-planet).
* The VHS w/CD Sampler slot comes with the Math and Science Audio Sampler CD. No songs from Baby Galileo are included in the CD.
