* In this episode, Grup is upset when he sees the Warrior fighting, unlike in the minisode "Phil's in the House", he doesn't seem to upset about it.

## Production notes

* Since the shorts greenlit into a TV series, new artists, writers and animators were hired on the field which is why the striking magisword poses of the Warriors are different from time to time and the characters' designs often change and shift through different styles. Also, while the majority of the production is done in-house at Cartoon Network Studios from scripts, storyboards and voice acting to character/layout design, the animation is now done at Malaysian studio, Inspidea. The 5-minute shorts are still animated in-house which explains the designs' similarities with the original 3-minute shorts.
* Some of the delivery folk were designed by artist David Baron, who previously collaborated with Kyle on his "Frog Raccoon Strawberry" comic series on DummComics.com.
* Luke Sienkowski, storyboard revisionist and voice actor of the show, is credited by his stage name "Luke Ski".
