* AnimationBump:
** The part where Mickey is walking through a three-dimensional hallway, as well as falling down two flights of stairs. Scenes like that were ''notoriously'' difficult to animate on account of perspective.
** That scene was OlderThanTheyThink, it came from one of the WesternAnimation/SillySymphonies, called ''Egyptian Melodies'', with Mickey being animated over a spider.

* ArtisticLicenseBiology: Dr. XXX wants to combine "a chicken's gizzard with the wishbone of a pup". Wishbones (more accurately called furculas) are a trait exclusive to birds and some non-avian dinosaurs, so a dog would not have one. A chicken would, though. Possibly justified partly due to the doctor's insanity and partly due to [[spoiler:it all being a dream]].
