==Fun Facts==
 
====Trivia====
 
*This is the last time the 1998 Big Idea closing bumper is used.
 
*This is the only main VeggieTales episode where there's no commentary track. Phil Vischer and [[Tim Hodge]] later apologized about it. Though a character commentary track was featured in the DVD.
 
*Shortly after the episode's release, Phil Vischer got a noticed from New Line Cinema about them not legally parodying the "Lord of the Rings" films without permission. This is the reason why [[The Wonderful Wizard of Ha's]] was late in production.
 
*The things Billboy got/received with the bean are:
 
**Making himself taller.
 
**Fine clothing.
 
**An espresso maker.
 
**A birthday cake.
 
*The things Ahem/Spiegel got/recived with the bean are:
 
**Fine clothing.
 
**Lifetime of food (eg.pizza, cupcakes).
 
**A fountain of Grape Nehi that shoots out from the ground.
 
**A 200 pound marshmallow Peep.
 
 
====Remarks====
 
*Larry doesn't legs, and yet he can pedal the unicycle.
 
*Some of the other flobbits at Billboy's party are just cardboard cutouts.
 
*Bob seems to show his inner feelings of the What Have We Learned Song. Even Larry thinks he's somewhat out of place.
 
 
====Goofs====
 
*When Randlf pops up and asks Billboy why he looks different, Billboy's went cross-eyed.
 
 
====Inside References ====
 
*Some references in the countertop, such as Larry almost falling in the sink and mentions of VeggieBeat were from [[Rack, Shack & Benny]]. In fact, this episode was released ten years after that said episode was released (1995).
 
*Some of the sets were reused from the previous episode, such as the mountains and the underground lair. Even the hairbrush Grumpy offers to Ahem was from that episode.
 
*The small bee that shows up in the beginning and later appears when the group were stuck on the tree is the same model as [[Snoodle Doo]].
 
*Some of the flobbits were about to eat a slice of pizza.
 
*The Other Elf offers the sporks cookies.
 
*Scaryman's "Show yourself!" is an echo of Jonah's line when he encountered Khail.
 
 
====Real World References====
 
*Jerry's entire motif is a reference to the Keebler elf.
 
 
====Fast Forward====
 
*Mr. Lunt and his habit for labor-saving devices would come in the [[The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything (film)|second feature film]].
