Trivia[]
- The title is a pun on the phrase that is spoken in many science fiction films featuring alien contact: "Take me to your leader".
- This the only episode to have animation done by Glen Kennedy, whom supervised the animation on this episode at Wang Film Productions (where he was working on Hanna-Barbera's A Pup Named Scooby-Doo at the time). Two years later, Disney Television Animation would hire Glen's new animation house, Kennedy Cartoons, as an animation subcontractor on shows like Darkwing Duck, Goof Troop, Bonkers, and the Aladdin TV series. This is why the episode has more bouncy animation.
- When giant Zipper carries Nimnul and climbs up a building, it references King Kong.
- Jack makes a direct reference to Jack and the Beanstalk by bringing a plant to Dale to climb up to the elevator switch, even calling out the title.
