- This is the last appearance of Jane the Monkey, Roary the Lion, Baby Noah the Elephant, Fox, and Baby Mozart The Yellow Bear.
- Some demo reels of Pixel Kitchen show an unused demo shot of the two ducks flying out of the savanna.
- The finale and closing credits music are switched.
- On the back of the cover, Jane the Monkey is in the ocean background, but that was not present in the video because they didn't have the ocean section due to having this section in Neptune's Oceans.
