Trivia
- The first episode where Madame Blueberry screams.
- In the concept art, Prince Larry and the Mirror were going to have a sword fight but that didn't happen.
- This is the first of the two episodes animated by Hawaii Animation Studios.
- This episode is notorious for having a considerably increased amount of animation errors when compared to most other episodes, even comparable to God Wants Me to Forgive Them!?! & The Wonderful World of Auto-Tainment!, with an average of over 100 errors.
- In addition, this episode is known to have the weakest animation and poorest design of the characters, which would also be a problem in It's a Meaningful Life, but would be fixed afterwards.
- This is the only episode of the series not to feature Bob in the countertop segments, but instead featuring Annie and Petunia. However, Bob is seen on the Countertop at the start of "Snoodlerella" in order to begin reading the story.
- Gaspard was originally going to be played by one of the porcupines from Jonah: A VeggieTales Movie, while the skunk was only going to make a cameo. However, because the complexity and age of the model made it difficult to animate, the roles of the porcupine and skunk were switched.
- In some airings of the episode on TBN and Smile of a Child, the Snoodlerella segment and the Silly Song are removed.
- According to Bob's Brain Benders and some descriptions of the episode, the Mirror's actual name is the Tricky Mirror.
- During Snoodlerella, music is reused from A Snoodle's Tale.

Remarks
- The fairy godmother tells Snoodlerella to close her eyes when they start styling her, but as they start, her eyes are back open.
- Somehow, when Sweetpea is dropped by the mirror, she falls at a constant speed, instead of just simply accelerating.
- In newer releases of the episode, the lightning bolt that strikes when the Mirror grabs the crown is removed for unknown reasons.
