Trivia[]
- This video marked:
- The fourth video to be released the year after the album came out.
- The second video to use the Coloured Borders.
- However only one is used this time but the only one to use the second borders is Here Comes a Bear which they ripped from the 2010 version.
- The first remake video of the 2010's.
- "Fruit Salad", "Wiggly Party", "Tie Me Kangaroo Down Sport", "The Zeezap Song", "To Have A Tea Party", "Dr Knickerbocker", "Over In The Meadow" and "Wags The Dog Is Chasing His Tail", all of which appeared in the 2010 version, are removed and replaced by new songs. In the case of "Tie Me Kangaroo Down Sport", it's obviously due to controversies surrounding Rolf Harris in recent years. "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star" is also replaced with a newer version.
- New prologues were filmed featuring the current generation for various songs. Like the 2010 version, Do The Owl's original prologue appears, making it the only one to feature an original Wiggle (Jeff) and to feature a guest (the late Steve Irwin).
- This is to date the only current generation video to feature multiple instrumental songs throughout the entire end credits and the first Wiggles video in general since since The Wiggles' Big Birthday! Previously, Celebration! began its credits with one short instrumental before switching to a normal song and later in 2017, Wiggle Around Australia and Nursery Rhymes (DVD version) did the same.
- This video along with Duets are the only Wiggles Australian DVDs of the third lineup not to be re-released in a standard DVD case in 2018.
- Each of the current Wiggles mentioned the former Wiggles at the beginning of this video, Simon mentioned that Murray was the first red Wiggle, Emma mentioned that Sam and Greg were the first yellow Wiggle (Sam was the second yellow Wiggle while Greg was recovering his illness for five years) and Lachy mentioned that Jeff was the first purple Wiggle.
- Production for this video took place in September 2013.

The original song titles for "Quack Quack", "The Monkey Dance", "Go Santa Go!" and "Move Your Arms Like Henry"

The original transitions for "Can You (Point Your Fingers and Do the Twist?)", "Toot Toot, Chugga Chugga, Big Red Car", "Quack Quack" and "Play Your Guitar with Murray"
- The Australian DVD once again lists the bonus clips from 1993 as being from 1991. The 2014 US DVD from NCircle marks the only release of either version to get the year correct on the cover, though the menu (as it is the same as the Australian version) retains the mistake.
- The opening credits show clips of "Wake Up, Lachy!" and "Henry's Dance", though neither appears in the video.
- Like the original, some song title cards aren't properly covered up by the new ones. While the title cards for Hot Potato and Play Your Guitar With Murray were fixed, Quack Quack's song title is even more visible than in the 2010 version and the original song titles for The Monkey Dance, Go Santa Go and Move Your Arms Like Henry can also briefly be seen.
- Once again, I'm Dorothy the Dinosaur! is credited as being from Dorothy the Dinosaur's Party, despite it being the version that appears in Dorothy the Dinosaur's Memory Book and the 2nd TV Series.
- Likewise, the version of You Make Me Feel Like Dancing that appears here is credited to its eponymous video, despite it being the version that appears in Wiggle and Learn.
- Likewise, the version of I've Got My Glasses On! that appears here is credited as being from Taking Off!, despite it being the version that appears in Ready, Steady, Wiggle!
- In the prologue of Hot Potato, Emma says, "Before I was the yellow Wiggle there was Sam and Greg," but Greg was the first yellow Wiggle and Sam was the second.
- The subtitles for the video name Greg as the singer of Hot Potato in the opening credits, despite the fact Lachy sings the song in that particular sequence.
