* The scene in the episode "Finally Free: Part 2" when the Pet Buster breaks into Kate’s house and both Kate and Magic set up traps around looks like something straight out of ''Film/HomeAlone''. Albeit more harmless (such as being instead of nails, it's just thumbtacks that the Pet Buster steps on).

* This series is possibly inspired by the popular Ghibli movie ''Anime/MyNeighborTotoro''. Both have the idea of a magical/spiritual force that is only connected to children.
* Another Ghibli movie is possibly referenced here, which is ''Anime/SpiritedAway''. Kate is in a way different society and world during the events of the show, being a FishOutOfWater and all, just like how Chihiro was stuck in the spirit world and had to adapt.



* Holiday the rooster references WesternAnimation/FoghornLeghorn from the all-time famous ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes''.

* The dynamic of Ava and Wallace as well as both of them spending time out in the streets of a large city could also be referencing Oliver and Dodger from ''WesternAnimation/OliverAndCompany''. Ava being a naive feline and Wallace being, well, the ArtfulDodger.

** Ava and Wallace's dynamic also gives a reference to this film, with Ava being a RichesToRags young lady and Wallace not only resembling Tramp in appearance but is street smart just like he is.

* Professor Franklin D. Puppy is mentioned in the prototype English dub by Clelia/Claudia, which gives a nod to UsefulNotes/FranklinDRoosevelt.
* The scene in the episode "Finally Free: Part 2" when the Pet Buster breaks into Kate’s house looks like something straight out of Film/HomeAlone.
* The group of Eva, Zull, and Gort draws parallels to Diesel 10 and his lackeys Splatter and Dodge from ''WesternAnimation/ThomasAndTheMagicRailroad''.
** Not to mention that the Pet Buster is somewhat similar to Diesel 10. Even his facial expressions look like him. Both of them seek a particular female character whose importance and extraordinary power is so important to them (the Pet Buster is to Ava as Diesel 10 is to Lady).
* A cocker spaniel and mutt resembling the titular dogs from ''WesternAnimation/LadyAndTheTramp'' occasionally appear in certain episodes.
* The entire plot could be a subtle retelling of ''Literature/AliceInWonderland'', as it revolves around a girl who is accidentally beamed to a magical dimension (Kate is to Alice).
