Trivia

  • This is the first Thomas & Friends DVD release of several things:
    • The first to feature episodes in the anamorphic 16:9 widescreen aspect ratio.
    • The first DVD release to feature the widescreen version of the VCI logo.
    • The first VHS/DVD to feature the HiT Entertainment logo.
    • The first release of Winter Wonderland.
    • And the DVD released in the Welsh language.
  • This is the only UK English and Irish VHS/DVD of two things:
    • The only VHS/DVD to feature a sixth series music video and have the Gullane Entertainment endboard.
    • And the only classic era DVD that wasn’t rereleased as a carry-case by 2Entertain.
  • This was the last VHS/DVD of two things:
    • The last released by Gullane Entertainment.
    • And the last to use the BBFC 1985 Uc Certificate.
  • This VHS/DVD was released the same day Jack Frost first aired in the UK as well as a day before Gordon Takes a Tumble's UK TV airing.
  • The Welsh DVD menus are similar in style to the DVD menus on the Brave Little Engines UK DVD.
  • The Welsh DVD episode selection menus feature a 20 second dubbing track clip of Bill and Ben's theme from the opening of Buffer Bother.

Goofs

  • On the front DVD cover, there's a white pixel on Thomas' buffer.
  • Salty and Harvey appeared in No Sleep for Cranky before their respective introductory episodes, Salty's Secret and Harvey to the Rescue.
  • Despite the VHS and DVD having the HiT Entertainment logo, the DVD was formatted and produced before the purchase was complete, meaning Gullane branding is retained on the tape/disc itself.
  • On the main menu, Thomas' siderod is not aligned properly.
  • On the DVD's back cover, it says that the runtime is 48 minutes just like the VHS, but the DVD does not feature the song after the last episode. The song is instead featured in the bonus material.
  • The Welsh DVD is presented in 16:9 but squeezed into 4:3.
  • The first Welsh episode selection menu uses footage from Elizabeth the Vintage Lorry for No Sleep for Cranky, footage from Twin Trouble for Salty's Secret, and footage from A Bad Day for Harold the Helicopter for Harvey to the Rescue.
