Shout Out / The Wee Free Men

• Wentworth's Insane Troll Logic reaction to lots of candy is a reference to Buridan's Ass.
• The MacFeegle use a variety of battle cries, most of which are a reference something or another, like Braveheart and 12 Angry Men.
  • "We Willnae be fooled again!" is a reference to one of The Who's songs, though in-universe it refers to their former servitude to the Elves.
  • "There can only be wun 'ousand!" is a reference to Highlander, and in-universe refers to the size of the clan.
• Rob Anybody Feegle's name is a reference to the folk hero Rob Roy MacGregor.
• The use of weaponized bad poetry may be a reference to The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. (It's also a reference to the supposed powers of Celtic bards.)
• "William the Gonnagle" is a reference to legendarily bad Scottish poet William McGonnagle.
• The Wee Free Men parody The Smurfs. Really, really tough Smurfs. The one female in the clan is called Kelda and rules them as the one with the most intelligence.
• Tiffany's speculations about the "witch school" include mention of broomstick-riding lessons, and "Are ye a hag or no'?" is a Feeglish translation of a line from Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. Although Terry says that if the witch school is a reference, it's to The Worst Witch, which also has broomstick lessons.
• The ballroom drome-dream resembles a scene from Labyrinth.
• The not-quite-voice ("Fwa waa fwah waa wha?") of Tiffany's dance partner (during the ballroom dream) is reminiscent of how adult speech is rendered in the various Peanuts animated features.
• A queen who lures children in with sweets rules over a land where it's always snowing and time doesn't pass at the same rate as the regular world, just like in The Chronicles of Narnia.
• The way Roland describes his meeting with the Queen calls The Snow Queen to mind where Kai meets the Snow Queen in much the same way — he saw her passing by with her horses and was so impressed by her appearance that he followed her willingly, ending up as a sort of foster child to someone who tries to be kind in some way, but really has no idea on what to do with a human child.
• Feegle swords glow blue in reference to The Lord of the Rings, though the glow is triggered by the presence of lawyers, not orcs.
• One of the dream scenes Tiffany finds herself visiting, is, per Word of God, a description of Richard Dadd's painting "The Fairy Feller's Master-Stroke".
• "Wold without end" is a pune, or a play on words, on "world without end", a translation of the Greek "εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας τῶν αἰώνων" (into the ages of the ages) in Christian liturgy.
• Rob Anybody's Hurricane of Excuses when confronted by the Queen's lawyers is similar to Jake's pleading for mercy in The Blues Brothers.
