-First Clay/Lego Animation to use Foley Sound. The Entire video's sound was done on a computer. This created a lot of goofs that were later fixed in the later editions.

-First Ubstudios animation to use special effects

-Edited on a VHS editor and a Computer

-Longest animation made by Ubstudios at that point.

-Re-edited and re-released in 2009 as a special "Directors Butt Edition" viewable for the first time, on Youtube.

-Changes in the Directors Butt Edition mainly fix some problems with the audio of the film, which was always a problem for director Stuboy. He states that in this edition, the narration is on both channels (left and right) as opposed to one as it was before.

-In the latest edition, very few visual changes were made, as Stuboy wanted to preserve that portion as it was.

-In late 2009, the Youtube/DVD edition (Directors Butt) was upgraded to HD quality marking another first this film has acheived. It is the first Ubstudios animation of its length to be in HD. The first official animation to be in HD was Puttin' On The Ritz, viewable here on Youtube.

-Audio problem- Various audio problems are noticeable throughout

-Continuity Error- The scenes at the radio station contain a noticeable error

-Factual Error- The "heat wave" song at the end is incorrectly attributed in the titles.

-Editing error- The film was edited on two machines, an old SVHS system, and a newer digital editor similar to Adobe Premiere. Thus, new artifacts and old alike show up throughout the movie. Also, thanks to analog to digital transfer, the film has a noticeably different aspect ratio.

-Visible crew- Director Stuboy's hand is visible at least twice in the film, holding props or opening doors.

None.

KUGR AM 1490 Can be heard throughout the entire radio station sequence. See the song list to the right. It is incomplete.

Lord of the Rings (Heard on TV at one point)

Scenes in this film parallel Stuboy's later effort: Night Skies (2006)

Soundtrack listings:

"I Can't Go For That (No Can Do) - Hall and Oates (beginning)

"Heat wave" - Marilyn Monroe (final scenes)

"Red Right Hand" - Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds (under the door)

"Don't Dream It's Over" - Crowded House (heard on KUGR 1490)
