Trivia

  • The rare original window Windmill clip was shown when the Teletubbies were about to eat Tubby Toast before they watched Playing in the Rain at the TV Receiver sequence. It might be ironic how a rare Windmill clip be shown in a VHS volume, making it not so rare.
  • In the US version the bird's eye Windmill animation sequence is seen before the beach TV receiver sequence.
  • Another rare Magic Windmill clip was shown after the Tubby Toast Accident but before the TV Receiver Sequence. It was when the Windmill was shown in its Normal animation with window, but was making the Stop Spinning sound. Ironically, in the US version, the TV Receiver Sequence was shown BEFORE the tubby toast accident, and the rare Windmill animation was used then stopped, thus following the Tubby Bye Bye event.
  • Po was both the boo shouter and the missing Teletubby.
  • In the UK version, before the Beach TV event, the Magic Windmill spins with the stop spinning tune as the Tubby Toast Accident segment originally had Tubby Bye-Bye afterwards.
  • In the US version, the magic windmill stops spinning on-screen after the Tubby Toast accident segment, unlike in Feeding the Chickens (UK version) where it shows the Baby Sun instead.
  • The 2003 re-release uses a different opening shot for the Four Happy Teletubbies segment that features the different title "Meet the Teletubbies."
  • On the Norwegian cover, it features an image from Missing Favourite Things (from Josie's Pots and Favourite Things) on VHS and DVD, even though that scene was not on this release. In addition, the Windmill is also mirrored on the same cover.

Goofs

  • The 2004 US VHS had Dash and Dot on the front and back cover of the tape, however it both opens and closes with the PBS Kids P-Pals logo.
    • This was fixed on the DVD.
  • On the US DVD disc, the Teletubbies do not have TVs on their tummies.
  • On the back of the US version's case, The Windmill is mirrored in one shot.
