Trivia

• As of the series not being in fullscreen 4:3 in US DVD releases anymore after 2013, the other five episodes from the Nitrogen era are cropped in widescreen 16:9.
• This is the second US DVD to feature episodes from the Nitrogen era, and the Arc Productions era together. The first was Santa's Little Engine. It's also the first US DVD to have the Nitrogen era episodes narrated by Michael Brandon insted of being renarrated by Mark Moraghan.
• This episode contained the episode Wild Water Rescue (hence the DVD's name) and it finally aired on TV in the US on March 15, 2018 after 3 years since the DVD release.
• The DVD uses the model version of the Determination music video. It will probably be the last DVD to use content from that era.

Goofs

• There are several errors in the credits:
  • Mark Moraghan is credited with the voice actors.
  • The word "director" in Don Spencer's credit does not start with a capital "D" like all the other credits.
  • Sharon Miller was not credited as "head writer" for the five episodes she was head of.
  • Rebecca Evans was not credited as Script Editor.
  • Joseph May was not credited despite voicing Thomas.
  • Christopher Ragland was not credited despite voicing Percy.
  • The credits list "Arc Productions Voice Artists," but it features voice actors from the Nitrogen era which filmed the Season 16 episodes.
