==Trivia==
*The title is a play on the phrase "foul play".
*The character Weazel is the first time in a Disney production that the pronunciation of the name Weasel was a running joke, something which would happen in both Frozen and Zootopia.
*The spelling "Hapee" would interestingly appear in a children's toothpaste from the Philippines four years later.
*While skywriting "weight [sic] until dark", Baloo takes his shirt off, making him resemble his appearance in the original Jungle Book film, sans claws, otherwise, his current costumed rendition in the parks and live appearances.
*Baloo's predicament in this episode is somewhat frustrating. While it can be expected that someone like him does not know how to spell properly, what is baffling is that his problems can be solved if he simply shut the window in his cockpit, something that should not have been an issue as he usually has it closed in other episodes.
