* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: The theme song, an energetic, bouncy beat that perfectly encapsulates the fantastical wonders of the Eyewitness Museum.

** The '' Monster‘’ episode alludes to that the greatest future monsters could be new virus and bacteria with epidemic potential. After the COVID 19 pandemic in 2020 really gives you shivers down your spine thinking about that.

** The ''Mountain'' episode alludes to the Lima–Huancayo in Peru railway as the largest railway in the world. However nearly a decade after the episode aired in 2006 the Qinghai–Tibet railway opened in China taking its place as the highest in the world with its elevation at 5,068 m (16,627 ft)

* ScienceMarchesOn: The series ran from 1994-1997, and its science facts can be a bit outdated. For example, ''Planet'' describes Pluto as a planet, when we know now it's a dwarf planet.
* TechnologyMarchesOn: Many of the series' special effects haven't aged particularly well. Smedley is an excellent example. While the animators managed to show how the bones move in relation to each other and he has a good walk cycle, he doesn't blend in especially well to the backgrounds and his running animation looks more like he's ice skating along a rail.

** In universe: ''Dinosaur'' discusses how dinosaur reconstructions have changed due to new information, citing ''Iguanodon'' as an example. The original researchers believed it had a single horn on its nose like a rhino, but later paleontologists realized, after finding more intact specimens, what was thought to be a horn was actually a thumb claw.

* UnintentionalPeriodPiece: To be expected from a show from TheNineties

* UnintentionalPeriodPiece: Some episodes make reference to Zaire, now the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

** In ''Bird,'' the duckling hatching and learning to walk. So cute.
