Trivia[]
- This video marked:
- The first video since Most Huggable Moments to have Riff on a DVD cover despite only being shown on the back.
- However, he doesn't appear in any of the content featured as those episodes were made prior to his addition.
- The first video since Let's Go to the Fire House to feature the 2001 HIT Entertainment logo at the end of the end credits.
- The first video since A Super-Dee-Duper Day to feature the "Barney Theme Song" that was utilized for seasons seven to thirteen of Barney & Friends and the first video since Most Loveable Moments to have the specific "Barney Theme Song" intro used from season seven of Barney & Friends.
- The first video since Most Huggable Moments to have Riff on a DVD cover despite only being shown on the back.
- Just like Barney's Worldwide Adventure! and Dinos in the Park, the "Barney Theme Song" is only featured in the first episode.
- Although this video was released in 2017, it has a 2016 copyright date, which indicates that this was produced in 2016.
- "A Fountain of Fun" is the only episode to retain its original "Barney Says" segment.
- It also marks the first time this segment was featured on a home media release since "Three Lines, Three Corners" was previously included as a bonus episode on Now I Know My ABCs back in 2004.
- Nick appeared in every single episode in this video.
Goofs[]
- Despite Riff not being in any content in the video, Michaela Dietz and Adam Brown are credited as the voice and costume respectively.
- In addition, Michaela Dietz's name was misspelled as "Michael Dietz" in the credits.
- During the trademarks section of the credits, Baby Bop is misspelled as "Baby Bob".
- It is possible that parts of the end credits were taken from Dinos in the Park, which explains why the writers are the same (and not different), Riff being credited, Patty Wirtz is mistakenly credited as BJ's costume actor, and Doug Miller as the choreographer.
