Trivia[]
- This episode was done in traditional cel animation.
- "Topsy-turvy" has two meanings: in utter confusion and upside down, both of which are exactly what the town in this episode is like.
- This could be a possible reference to the song Topsy Turvy from The Hunchback of Notre Dame.
- Irony: When Mickey asked Stan the Mechanic to fix his car, he could've said it the opposite way: "I need my car broken".
