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 in the UK version 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 Reciever 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.
  • Before the Beach TV event, the Magic Windmill spins with the stops spinning tune.

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 Dash logo with Dot Audio.
  • On the Norwegian cover, it features an image from Missing Favourite Things (from Josies Pots and Favourite Things) on VHS and DVD, but that scene wasn't on this release, and what's more, the Windmill is also mirrored on the same cover.
