* ShoutOut: As the family make their way across the Antarctic snow, the 1957 electronic song "Song of the Second Moon" plays in the background. This is a nod to the Hungarian science show ''Delta'', whose title sequence featured this song alongside StockFootage of people struggling to trek across the Antarctic (taken from the 1948 film ''Scott Of The Antarctic'' and a real life 1957-58 South Pole expedition).

* EvenEvilHasStandards: The Pacific island dictator Máris befriends is shocked when Máris proposes him that they could serve the Mézgas to tourists as food, thinking he is seriously planning to have tourists eat them. Máris then proceeds to explain that he only means it as a play where they would only pretend to sacrifice the Mézgaz and then serve the visitors normal animal meat.
