Trivia[]
- This episode has some similarities to Runaway Brain, a short that also involves Mickey neglecting Minnie due to a video game and having to deal with a Pete look-a-like. Co-incidentally, both cartoons even depict the Pete look-a-likes with Pete's signature peg-leg, and even end with the Pete look-a-likes defeated in a similar fashion of getting trapped and twirled around like a yo-yo.
- During the fantasy sequence of Mickey fighting the pirate resembling Pete, the soundtrack plays a techno-based remix of the "Major-General's Song" from The Pirates of Penzance.
