Trivia[]
- Po was the boo shouter. Dipsy was the boo shouter in the Lithuanian Version.
- Laa-Laa was the missing Teletubby. Po was the missing Teletubby in the Lithuanian Version.
- This VHS also had a Limited Edition release which also included a free apron (See Gallery).
- The Tubby Custard Cloud scene is the only scene to have Dave Thompson as Tinky Winky.
- This VHS has the rabbits' song (the same version from Swimming with Stephanie used as a transition into the Tubby Custard Cloud where the camera cuts fading to the opening shot "Home Hill 2"). However, in this VHS, the rabbits' song is used as a transition into the Twisty Dance. Instead, the Tubby Custard Cloud opens with the opening shot "Field 1".
- The scene of Po inside at the start of The Twisty Dance is cut, after the Rabbit song it cuts straight to her running outside.
- After the Tubby Custard Cloud where the cloud floats away, it cuts straight to the Magic Windmill spinning for The Magic House, as the episode originally had The Jumping Dance afterwards.
- This is the only Teletubbies video to end off with a Magical Event.
- This is also the last video to have a Magical Event until Magical Surprises in 2001.
- In the Lithuanian version, The Twisty Dance is replaced with The Jumping Dance on the Path (it’s also in the 1st part of the US TV airing, where it spins for the Bubble Pictures video). Also, the Painting with Hands and Feet video is cut out. After the Teletubbies run off at the end of the Dirty Tubby Custard Seat, it cuts to the windmill spinning and the Teletubbies saying "Uh-Oh" from Bubble Pictures. In The Magic House, the puppet sings at the Top Right window instead of the Bottom Left window.
- The Ball of String, Dirty Seat, and Tubby Custard Cloud segments in the US version have different recordings of the narrator's lines than it was in the US Versions of Amy's Pasta, Feeding the Chickens, and Mandir Temple respectively.
- In the US Version, the end credits start after the Narrator says "Teletubbies say goodbye".
- This is the last tape to have the PBS Kids P-Pals from 1993. The rest will be starting with Dot and Dash. (only in the US version)
- VHS re-releases of Here Come the Teletubbies in 2004 and Dance with the Teletubbies in 2001 were the only exceptions to this.
- Despite this, the VHS and DVD covers with Dot and Dash did not appear until 2001 with Go! Exercise with the Teletubbies.
Watch[]
Goofs[]
- In the Latvian version, during the Rabbit montage and half of The Twisty Dance, there is no audio. Then halfway through The Twisty Dance, the audio from the Conga segment from Painting with Hands and Feet plays over the footage. During the opening shot of Field 1, a few seconds of the Rabbit's Song audio from Swimming with Stephanie plays over the footage before the Tubby Custard Cloud segment. Also during The Magic House (Bottom left window), The Jumping Dance audio from Swimming with Stephanie plays over the footage. And when the windmill stops spinning, it changes back to normal.
