## Trivia

* Although this episode premiered in 2020, it was made in 2019 according to the credits.
* This is the first episode to air in 2020.
* The Kindi Kids have their own way of calling "dibs", which involves touching their noses. It is referred to as "Nose Goes". Beary Chill lost this time.
* The first few seconds of the episode jokingly keep Mrs. R. Bow and The Friendship Chair's faces hidden, as if the reveal in "Secret Surprise" never happened, only to show them afterward.
* There are certain characters in this episode that are caricatures of *Kindi Kids* staff:
	+ This episode's writers, Sammie Crowley and Whitney Wetta, appear as the front desk clerk, and a hotel guest respectively.
	+ The three guys who crashed the Kindi Kids' bedroom were Kindi Kids storyboard artists Kyle Marshall and Miguel Puga, and character designer, Todd Oman.
	+ The Spa Worker at the hotel is Diem Doan, but her hair is brown, rather than black.
		- Two of the spa workers giving massages to Marsha Mello's stuffed animals are Ken Mu and Joy Adams.
* Similar to "Ties That Bind", the Kindi Kids can hear their parents talking through the bathroom air vent.
* The spa manager is modeled after prop designer Jared Morgan.
* The roles each of the Kindi Kids were in their play (in order of appearance):

	+ Rainbow Kate - Announcer
	+ Bunny Cart - Cat
	+ Jessicake - Cat
	+ Apple Blossom - Kitty Cat
	+ Kitty Scanner - Herself
	+ Beary Chill - Aunt Ruth
	+ Donatina - Undertaker
	+ Marsha Mello - Herself
	+ Peppa-Mint - Herself
	+ Summer Peaches - The Friendship Chair
	+ Cindy Pops - Mrs. R. Bow

* The fake hairpiece Summer Peaches wore to play The Friendship Chair appears in "Job Insecurity" when Cindy Pops, Beary Chill, Rainbow Kate, and Mr. Grouse wear it.
* The joke of Cindy Pops encouraging Zoom the Ambulance Unicorn to hang up first derives from the comic "No, You Hang Up" from There Will Be Chaos.
* Ways the Kindi Kids misbehaved

	+ Beary Chill and Donatina - Turning off the lights and breaking the AC machine.
	+ Cindy Pops - Breaking the TV antenna.
	+ Bunny Cart - Believing herself to be a worker named Fritz and taking Fritz's job.
	+ Rainbow Kate - Interrupting Fritz by making jokes.
	+ Summer Peaches and Jessicake - Breaking the elevators.
	+ Marsha Mello - Occupying the massage room with herself and her toys.
	+ Peppa-Mint - Acidifying the swimming pool.
	+ Mrs. R. Bow and The Friendship Chair - Skinny dipping.
		- Kitty Scanner and Apple Blossom were the only Kindi Kids who didn't misbehave.

* **Innuendo**: The Kindi Kids were actually kicked out of the resort, due to Mrs. R. Bow and The Friendship Chair skinny dipping in the pool. However, it is implied that they did much more than a skinny dip.
* **Irony**: The parents kept telling the kids to behave with dignity, but they themselves behaved inappropriately at the end.

## References

* ***Arts, Crafts & Bunnies*** - The title of this episode is a pun on the phrase "sweet and sour".
* When The Friendship Chair remarks that she and Mrs. R. Bow haven't had a break since 1998, she mentions:
	+ ***Bill Clinton*** - Then-President of the United States.
	+ ***Spice Girls*** - British mid-'90s girl group.
	+ ***Mark McGwire*** - Baseball player for the St. Louis Cardinals.
* ***It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia*** - The background music that played when the Kindi Kids first went to the hotel was reminiscent of the song *Hotsy Totsy*, that is recurringly used in the series. The title card music, Tea at Tiffani's, is another of the show's production tracks.
* ***Wilhelm scream*** - When Kitty Scanner, Rainbow Kate, and Marsha Mello push the three guys out of their room, the Wilhelm scream can be heard.
	+ This is the third time the Wilhelm scream has been used in the series.
* ***The Shining*** - The room number on the title card is 237, which is a reference to this iconic 1980 horror film.
* ***Peanuts*** - The lamp in the scene of Aunt Ruth's living room in the play resembles Charlie Brown's shirt.

## Errors

* The plot announced by Zap2it claimed that the Kindi Parents won a trip to the resort, but in the actual episode, they save money to pay for the trip.
* During the scene where The Friendship Chair and Mrs. R. Bow are about to head into the pool before Peppa-Mint's chemical was dropped into it, and when the camera footage of Mrs. R. Bow and The Friendship Chair going into the pool skinny dipping is shown, Mrs. R. Bow's eye shadow is purple instead of blue.
	+ Also, Mrs. R. Bow's lipstick is pink instead of red when she's at the pool and the gym.
* The air conditioner in the Kindi Kids' resort room changes sizes during the scene where Donatina and Beary Chill are pushing it, as when it falls over the van, it is much bigger than in the previous scene.
* Mrs. R. Bow and The Friendship Chair grounded all the Kindi Kids, despite the fact that Kitty Scanner and Apple Blossom didn't misbehave in the resort. However, it's possible that they misbehaved off-screen.
* When Jessicake gave Summer Peaches her business card, Summer Peaches gave it back to Jessicake and she dropped it. When Summer Peaches grabbed the blankets, the card was gone in the next shot.
* **Plot hole:** There are some inconsistencies to the kids staying with Aunt Ruth:
	+ **Possible:** Jessicake doesn't seem to want to go, despite enjoying it there in "Imagination Safari". However, it is possible that she just wanted to go to the spa resort more.
	+ Apple Blossom goes with them, even though Aunt Ruth doesn't like her around her cats.
* In real life, pressing all of the buttons on an elevator board wouldn't damage it, instead it would just stop on all of the floors and/or do all the functions it has.
* When Peppa-Mint is about to disinfect the pool, she is far from the pool's stairs. In the panoramic shot of the pool, she is closer to the pool's stairs. However, in the next shot of her, she is in her original place.
* The gym's machines don't have plugs. Therefore, they don't require any source of energy but somehow they stopped working when Beary Chill switched off the fuse.
* In the zoom-out shot of Cindy Pops talking with Zoom the Ambulance Unicorn on the balcony and in the following scene, the balcony's length heavily changes and Cindy Pops changes positions from being in front of the A/C to being beside it.
* The A/C's hole is smaller when Beary Chill and Donatina watch through it.
* Before Beary Chill and Donatina tamper with the air conditioner, its plug is not visible, but when they touch it, the plug is visible.
* Beary Chill and Donatina are missing after Kitty Scanner, Rainbow Kate, and Marsha Mello ram the three guys out of their room.
* The sofa that Marsha Mello, Rainbow Kate, and Kitty Scanner used to push out the three men were crossing all the hall, but when Mrs. R. Bow, The Friendship Chair and Bunnny Cart arrive at the room, just a small part of it was peeking out.
* When Peppa-Mint began disinfecting the carpet after Kitty Scanner, Rainbow Kate, and Marsha Mello rammed the three guys out, she had a tote bag around her shoulder, but when the bird flew in and hit her, the tote bag is gone.
* When presenting the "Kindi-Inn" to their parents, Marsha Mello and Jessicake seem to only have one of their missing teeth missing.
* During Kitty Scanner and Summer Peaches' part in the "Kindi-Inn," their heads were shaped differently.
* When Kitty Scanner announces that Aunt Ruth arrived, she turned her head nearly 180 degrees, which should be impossible for her to do.
* The Hebrew version of the episode mistakenly has the "Secret Surprise" theme song, instead of the normal one.
* When Peppa-Mint was disinfecting the pool and ran away, she couldn't do it without her parents seeing her, but for some reason, they didn't notice.
	+ Also, when she was running, she didn't notice "Fritz" was her sister, Bunny Cart.
