Trivia[]
- Moral: When it rains, find a way to keep dry, even if you live somewhere where it rains constantly.
- The episode's title is a parody of the popular Canadian children's television show "Under the Umbrella Tree", which coincidentally aired on the Disney Channel in the United States.
- When Harry and Elsie sing the Great Big Book of Everything song, they are dressed in the same outfits from the film ‘Singing in the Rain’ which features Gene Kelley.
- In that same scene after the song, Elsie says ‘say goodnight, Harry’, a reference to the catchphrase ‘say goodnight, Gracie’ at the end of the George Burns show from the late 50’s.
