** There are many, many inaccuracies in "To Switch a Witch." For starters, there were no burnings in Salem. Secondly, 1778 is far too late for any official witchcraft executions. The last person executed for witchcraft in the British Isles, for example, was executed in 1727. The practice was already dying by the time of the Salem Witch Trials in 1692.

** Possibly an invoked example: the gorillas in question are shown sitting on a ''human-built'' treetop platform, and even have a hammock to sleep in. Given the local tribe's reverence for Jaguaro, the natives might conceivably have stolen the apes from a zoo because they ''resembled'' the creature they worship, at least from the neck down.

The latter's WIP cut was rather infamously included on the ''Scooby-Doo's Spookiest Tales'' VHS in 2001, after the regular, finished version had aired on cable for years. The two WIP episodes have still aired as late as 2017 on Teletoon.
