Trivia
- This is the first Animaniacs DVD to come in a standard, more fragile case beginning with its first production run. Prior sets came in higher-quality booklet-type cases. Despite the change, this set does retain a slipcase cover.
- The discs from this set were later repackaged and re-labeled for the Animaniacs: The Complete Series set in 2018.
- A digital equivalent of this set can be found on outlets such as iTunes and Amazon Prime Video.
- This is the first Animaniacs DVD to mostly confine to WB's early-2010's "uniform" menu layouts. Despite this, it mostly retains custom picture menus. However, viewers can no longer select segments on the menus individually (but they can still be accessed separately by skipping chapters during playback).
- 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).
- This is the first Animaniacs DVD where English subtitles can be selected through the subtitle menus (rather than relying on the television or disc player's own built-in captioning systems)
- The "conquer the world" line on the back cover synopsis is an obvious allusion to Pinky and the Brain's world domination schemes, despite the mice themselves not being mentioned in the synopsis.
- The cover artwork for this DVD has been used for the show's many streaming releases on channels such as Netflix, Hulu, and HBO Max.
- The back cover art of the slipcase uses prototype art of Wakko without his whiskers. A similar issue occurred on the cover of the Variety Pack album.
Goofs
- The episodes on the third disc have audio issues where where the right audio track is missing. This is most evident during episode 92's "Dot - The Macadamia Nut" musical number.
