* While playing "The Legend of Imelda: The Quest for the Golden Key" in the Muppet Babies episode "It's Only Pretendo" (1989), Baby Gonzo encounters a pack of Rascally Round Reptiles of Unusual Size in the swamp as a reference to the R.O.U.S. (Rodents of Unusual Size) from the Goldman story.
* Janice provides a brief review of the movie in the Summer 1987 issue of Muppet Magazine. She writes, "In The Princess Bride, newcomer Robin Wright also plays royalty. This funny fantasy has all the ingredients of a real fairy tale: true love, knights, damsels, and daring rescues. It's a hip flick directed by the totally tubular Rob (Stand By Me) Reiner."
