* TheShelfOfMovieLanguishment: Despite being completed in 1968, internal problems at Creator/{{MGM}} (likely stemming from the closure of the animation department and Kirk Kerkorian's purchase of the studio) meant it didn't get released until 1970 (as part of the MGM ''Children's Matinee'' banner).

* HeyItsThatGuy: Milo is played in the live action segments and voiced in the animated segments by Butch Patrick, best known as [[TheMunsters Eddie Munster]].
* HeyItsThatVoice: Voice acting legend Mel Blanc performs the voice of several characters. There's a bit of a fail here, as some characters sound exactly like Blanc's previous characters: The Dodecahedron sounds exactly like Bugs Bunny and The Demon of Insincerity sounds like Yosemite Sam.
** There are in fact a number of other well-known voice performers in the cast for the discerning ear to discover:
*** The Whether Man is Daws Butler.
*** Hans Conried was both King Azaz and the Mathemagician.
*** June "[[WesternAnimation/RockyAndBullwinkle Rocky the Squirrel]]" Foray voiced Ralph, The Which and the Princess of Pure Reason.
*** Frequent Disney voice performer Candy Candido was the Awful Dynne.
*** Disney voice actor and singer Thurl Ravenscroft voices some of the Lethargians.
* XMeetsY: The book can probably be described as ''Literature/AliceInWonderland'' meets ''TheWonderfulWizardOfOz'' with a dash of Creator/DrSeuss thrown in.
