Trivia

The collection comes in two sets of standard-type DVD cases packaged in a larger boxset. The first set has volumes 1 and 2, while the second set has volumes 3 and 4 as well as Wakko's Wish (each volume is labeled as a "season").
The aspect ratio of the menus vary from the different displays viewers watch the discs on (for example, a 4:3 display such as a CRT TV would result in a 4:3 menu).
A digital equivalent of this set (without the bonus features and Wakko's Wish) can be found on outlets such as iTunes.
In light of the removal of the original Animaniacs and Wakko's Wish from Hulu in January 2023, this set saw some newfound popularity as fans looked to alternatives to watch the series.

Goofs

Being a reprint of Vol. 4's third disc, the episodes on this set's 18th disc has the same audio issues where where the right audio track is missing. This is most evident during episode 92's "Dot - The Macadamia Nut" musical number.
