3* When ThePrankster Invisibles are dramatically joking that they've ruined the Horned King's fashion sense by setting on fire the cobwebs in his fur stole, they exclaim "WHAT KIND OF MONSTERS ARE WE!?". [[WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants Spongebob]] said that line (much more quietly though) in "[[Recap/SpongeBobSquarePantsS2E15TheSecretBoxBandGeeks Band Geeks]]".
4* The first song Avalina plays with the castle's piano is "Let Me In" from ''Film/{{Rigoletto}}''. Months later she plays another song for the Horned King from the same movie: "The Curse".
5* The second song Avalina plays with the piano is "Weep Ye No More Sad Fountains" from ''Film/SenseAndSensibility''.
6* At one point, the second Invisible says "You have learned well, [[Series/KungFu1972 young grasshopper]]".
7* Creeper gets drunk from mead and sings some parts of the song "[[WesternAnimation/HowTheGrinchStoleChristmas You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch]]".
8* Before Avalina asks the Horned King to make acquaintance with Mitternacht for the first time after the Mad Pack incident, she plays him "There is Life" from ''WesternAnimation/BambiII''.
9* The SillyLoveSong sung by the Invisibles is a parodied version of "Can You Feel The Love Tonight" from ''WesternAnimation/TheLionKing1994''.
10* While the Horned King reflects upon his discussion with Avalina that involved her calling him beautiful, a parody of "[[WesternAnimation/TheHunchbackOfNotreDameDisney Heaven's Light]]" plays in the narration.
11* The Invisibles' jokes about the Horned King being like a reindeer are references to ''WesternAnimation/RudolphTheRedNosedReindeer''.
12* Some of the riddles Avalina and the Horned King exchange are borrowed from [[http://b1ackpear1.deviantart.com/ a Deviantart user]] who ships the Horned King and [[WesternAnimation/SleepingBeauty Maleficient]]. The idea of the Horned King appreciating riddles is also from that user's stories.
