** Floop films his show in a virtual reality room that creates the backgrounds and sets for him. While not quite on the same level of tech, Disney would later go on to develop and use a similar device called the Volume, which is reportedly so realistic that one crewmember during the filming of Series/TheMandalorian thought the set was ''actually on fire'' during one scene.

The ominous music when you see the purple one making nonsense sounds (during the scene in the car) suddenly makes sense when you know he's saying "I can't get out, I can't! Help me! He's evil! He has me trapped! Help! Somebody please help me!"
