For syndication, Toon Disney cut out the shot where Petros's iron arrow penetrates Oberon's chest.
This episode explains why Owen looks so much like Preston Vogel.
Shakespeare's influence: once again the play A Midsummer Night's Dream is mentioned, this time very subtly by one of its own characters (
see Cultural Reference).
