Trivia[]
- The title is a reference to the story, Beauty and the Beast (the Disney version of which was released later in the year).
- Darkwing says the combination to the Darkwing Files Vault is 36R-42L, but when he looks on his foot, it says 15L-36R-62L.
- Doctors Larson and Gary are named in tribute to Gary Larson's The Far Side and are designed to resemble the Pinheads, any of a number of unintelligent people with small pointy heads and thick glasses which appear frequently in The Far Side. This is the first of many Far Side call-outs and tributes through the show.
- In maintaining the plant theme, Dr. Rhoda Dendron's name is a portmanteau of Rhododendron, a popular genus of beautiful flowering plants.
- Gosalyn Mallard does not appear in this episode.
- The shot of Darkwing Duck being pushed outside a window by a filing cabinet draw and then him hanging onto it is used in the opening.
- Dean Tightbill and Doctors Gary and Larson would return as the antagonists in the comic story "Dawn of the Day of the Return of the Living Spud".
