Trivia[]

This is the last art/science episode to have a science topic.
This is also the last episode to have a math topic
This is the only appearance of Randy The Rhino.
This is the last appearance of Raccoon.
The Walking Suitcase was from Baby Newton. The Battery Powered Railroad Set was later be seen in Lullaby Time but with a different setup.
The Geometric Puzzle Board: Squares by Constructive Playthings and Peek, Rattle & Teether by Infantino were shown in the Toy Chest for some reason, but it did not appear in the video.
Two of the songs were later heard in World of Rhythm.
This video can be considered as a remaster or companion of Baby Newton.
Baby Newton was replaced by this video due to poor parent reviews.
- On top of that, this is the last shape-themed video.
It came out exactly six years after World Animals (they both came out on July 24th).
This is the first video to have the Einstein Pals promo after the FBI Warning screens (which are after the 2001-2007 Disney DVD Logo) (short version) and after the credits (the full promo).
This is also one of the 2 DVDs to use the 2006-2008 fanfare on the Walt Disney Home Entertainment Logo, the other is Lullaby Time.
The Spain release is the first Spain DVD to have the Disney DVD (2001-2007) logo on it.
