Trivia
- The filedates of the DVD show that it was finished on February 17, 2005.
- This was the first US VHS of two things:
- The first time to have the VHS version be distributed by 20th Century Fox.
- The first US VHS since Best of Gordon to have a sticker label on the tape.
- This was the last sing-along VHS release ever made in the US/Canada.
- Some VHS copies have the VHS/DVD trailer to Thomas' Sodor Celebration playing the new theme tune over the classic era theme tune.
- Barney: A Perfectly Purple Day and Rubbadubbers: Deep Sea Reg were both on the same video as Bob the Builder: Getting the Job Done! DVD.
- Despite being released in different regions, this DVD is complementary with Songs from Sodor, this release features the extended versions of Series 8 songs, while Songs from Sodor features the extended versions of the songs from Calling All Engines! (bar The Dream Song), Series 9 and Series 10 (with the exception of H is for Harold, which strangely uses the short version).
- Because this release was never given a proper UK release (likely in favour of Songs from Sodor), the widescreen versions of the extended Series 8 music videos were never released.
Goofs
