** John refers to "darn it" as a "vulgar expression." There's now a trope called GoshDangItToHeck, for where tame swear words are used as substitutes for harsher ones.
** Creator/JudyGarland and Creator/MargaretOBrien starring together becomes amusing once you know that they are the only two people in history to get replacement Oscars because they lost their originals. Both were the special Juvenile Awards too.[[note]]Creator/HayleyMills also had her Juvenile Oscar stolen in the 80s, but was unable to obtain a replacement at the time because the mold had been destroyed. In 2022, the Academy granted her a full-sized replacement, which she had previously been denied.[[/note]]

* AluminumChristmasTrees: Alonso makes reference to a baseball team called the Baltimore Orioles. While there was such a team in 1903, they were only minor league. They'd join the majors in 1954 (coincidentally enough, after the former St. Louis Browns moved to Baltimore).

* AwardSnub: It lost all four of its Oscar nominations (Screenplay, Cinematography, Original Score, Original Song). Surprisingly, the Original Song nomination went to "The Trolley Song" rather than the more obvious AwardBaitSong "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas". It ''did'' get a semi-win with Creator/MargaretOBrien's "outstanding child actress of 1944" special Oscar (which was technically for all of her films that year).

** "Under the Bamboo Tree" is an authentic song from the period in which the film takes place. It's a love song about two African savages, whom are viewed patronizingly as simple, happy natives. Luckily, the movie only includes the first verse and the chorus. The patronizing tone becomes more evident in the later verses.
** The Halloween celebrations depicted in the film look nigh unrecognizable to modern audiences, because they’re from the era of Halloween when it was much more about vandalism and “tricks” as opposed to innocently collecting candy. The part where the children are shown tending a ''bonfire'' is particularly confusing (not to mention disturbing) if one doesn’t know the history.
