Trivia
- The filedates of the DVD show that it was finished on November 26, 2002.
- A cassette tape was included with some VHS releases for a limited time. It featured the following songs:
- Thomas' Anthem
- Little Engines
- Percy's Seaside Trip
- Accidents Will Happen
- A CD was included with some DVD releases for a limited time. It contained three different songs than those featured on the cassette:
- Percy's Seaside Trip
- Down by the Docks
- Never, Never, Never Give Up
- Don't Judge a Book By its Cover
- The Nick Jr. logo is seen after the credits on the 2003 release, In the 2009 reprint, the Nick Jr. logo gets cut off, and it goes directly to the Thomas & Friends Website (www.thomasandfriends.com) screen. This was because Nick Jr. no longer helped produce the series. The same happened with Best of Gordon.
- This VHS/DVD marks the first of two things:
- The first US/CAN release under HiT Entertainment. The company itself would also later originally distribute six later videos independently; Steamies vs. Diesels, It's Great to Be an Engine!, Thomas' Sodor Celebration, Songs from the Station, Calling All Engines and Track Stars.
- The first release of Little Engines.
- This is the only release to have a horizontal/landscape booklet.
- The second and third nameboard sequences are switched around. The 14-character sequence plays after Thomas, Percy and the Squeak and the second series sequence plays after Gordon Takes a Tumble.
- The prototype 2003 cover uses a different picture of chocolate-covered Percy but lacks the promotional image from Gordon Takes a Tumble. The words "chocolate" and "crunch" are not in brown but only in yellow.
- Excluding Gordon Takes a Tumble, all the episodes on this release are exclusive.
- This is the last DVD to have the 2001 Thomas & Friends books promo.
Goofs
- On the back cover and in the DVD menu, Faulty Whistles is just called "Faulty Whistle."
- Writers Jenny McDade, Robin Kingsland and Ross Hastings are not listed in the credits.
- The captions refer to Percy as "Cassie" during Little Engines.
- The VHS subtitles refer to clean as "belean" during the beginning of Percy’s Chocolate Crunch.
- "Percy's Puzzle" states that Allicia the mouse was found in Annie, but in the actual episode, she was in Clarabel.
- Because the picture of Percy on the cover was flipped, the number is incorrectly displayed backwards on the DVD.
- In "Sodor Spelling Game," Elizabeth has Bertie's fourth series horn while Bertie has a lower-pitched version of it.
