** The plot of "All's Whale that Ends Whale" involves Baloo and Kit rescuing a mistreated whale from an aquarium. Three years later, Creator/WarnerBros would make [[Film/FreeWilly a movie with a similar concept]].

* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: Is Rebecca a social climber, or is her desire to acquire wealthier, classier clients simply an attempt to boost business and her company's reputation by establishing higher paying contacts? Also, is Rebecca an abusive MeanBoss who exploits her ownership of the ''Sea Duck'' to get labour from Baloo, or a charitable ExtremeDoormat who constantly ensures employment and a living for her incompetent {{Jerkass}} friend? Similarly, is Baloo only working at Higher For Hire as a means to buy back the Sea Duck and bail out, or is he [[PapaWolf a provider and guardian for his surrogate family]] that only holds onto said vow out of stubborn {{pride}}?

Is Rebecca a social climber, {{social climber}}, or is her desire to acquire wealthier, classier clients simply an attempt to boost business and her company's reputation by establishing higher paying contacts? Also, contacts?
** Rebecca and Baloo's entire dynamic
is up for debate. Is Rebecca an abusive MeanBoss who exploits her ownership of the ''Sea Duck'' to get labour from Baloo, or a charitable ExtremeDoormat who constantly ensures employment and a living for her incompetent {{Jerkass}} friend? Similarly, is Baloo only working at Higher For Hire as a means to buy back the Sea Duck and bail out, or is he [[PapaWolf a provider and guardian for his surrogate family]] that only holds onto said vow out of stubborn {{pride}}?{{pride}}? And what exactly is the nature of their relationship: BelligerentSexualTension, PlatonicLifePartners, or something else altogether?
** Is [[AmbiguouslyEvil Shere Khan]] villainous by inclination, only restrained from doing worse due to his [[PragmaticVillainy pragmatism]] and lack of interest in anything that won't increase his money and/or power? A normally decent person who just happens to delve into less than ethical behavior when he believes his interests are on the line? Or is he neither: an amoral figure who chooses what side of the moral divide he's on based on what he thinks will better accomplish his goals?

* SuspiciouslySimilarSong: Compare the theme song to "Some Fun Now" from the movie version of ''Film/LittleShopOfHorrors'': not only are both Caribbean-style songs but the choruses are near-identical.

to:

* SuspiciouslySimilarSong: SpiritualSuccessor:
** The series is basically a [[UsefulNotes/FurryFandom Furry]] version of the old TV series ''Series/TalesOfTheGoldMonkey'', which was itself inspired by ''Film/OnlyAngelsHaveWings'' and ''Film/RaidersOfTheLostArk.''
** The ScrewballComedy elements of the Baloo/Rebecca relationship owe much to Creator/SpencerTracy and Creator/KatharineHepburn comedies of TheForties.
** Any episode in which Baloo and Louie are flying the Sea Duck... anywhere... is liable to closely resemble one of the Creator/BobHope[=/=]Music/BingCrosby ''Film/RoadTo'' buddy films.
** The series has its own spiritual successor in the webcomic ''Webcomic/{{Cloudscratcher}}''.

* CrossesTheLineTwice: "The Time Bandit" has Rebecca arrested and sentenced to death by Thembrians. [[ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill First by hanging and then by a firing squad]]. That's just sad and cruel. But Spigot presenting her different types of rope she can be hanged with, like a clothing store employee presenting ties and [[UpToEleven said firing squad being a bunch of tanks, however]]? Oh, and did we mention the ''This Is Your Life''-esque presentation that precedes the execution?

* TheProblemWithLicensedGames: In contrast to a lot of other Disney tie-in games from this era, the games based on this show have a pretty mediocre reputation. The NES game by Creator/{{Capcom}} is regarded to be an okayish side-scrolling shooter that's probably Capcom's weakest Disney tie-in -- albeit ''still'' the best game based on this show. The Sega Genesis game is a generic platformer with murky, unappealing graphics, and boring level design. The [=TurboGrafx-16=] game is seen as the bottom of the barrel, however, as despite having better graphics than the Genesis game, it's brought down by atrocious controls, severely faulty collision detection, and all-around uninspired gameplay (faults it shares with the even more notorious ''WesternAnimation/DarkwingDuck'' tie-in game on the same system, which was developed by the same company).

* UnintentionallySympathetic: Colonel Grogg from "War of the Weirds" is a stern, paranoid, TriggerHappy soldier, who apparently got promoted due to {{Nepotism}}. Still, it's debatable whether he deserves to be subjected to {{Gaslighting}} and a HumiliationConga just for wanting to defend Earth against what looked like a real alien invasion and [[ProtagonistCenteredMorality being prepared to arrest anyone who is guilty of the serious crime of perpetrating a hoax against the military]] (although Baloo [[UnintentionallyNotoriousCrime didn't set out to do that in the first place)]].

** About 90% of "The Balooest of the Bluebloods." Baloo's UnexpectedInheritance causes him to end up alone in a huge mansion with two untrustworthy servants who smile in the creepiest way. He narrowly survives various {{Death Trap}}s (a shark in the swimming pool, a bunch of cupid statuettes nearly skewering him, etc.) and learns that all twelve of his ancestors suffered similar horrible deaths.
