Facts
Fans of Thomas the Tank Engine & Friends will notice Scuffy's whistle sounds like Trevor The Traction Engine's whistle.
The rock chase sequence was a parody of the boulder chase sequence in the 1981 Indiana Jones film Raiders of the Lost Ark. This same scene probably inspired the Thomas the Tank Engine & Friends episode "Rusty and the Boulder".
Animation error: Tootle is a steam locomotive with a 4-4-2 wheel arrangement and a four-wheeled tender, but during the scene where he's taking Katy Caboose, Poky Little Puppy, Shy Little Kitten, and Scuffy up a hill and over a bridge on the way to Jolly Jungle, he seems to be missing the first pair of wheels under his cowcatcher, making him look like a 2-4-2 steam locomotive.

Famous quotes containing the word facts:
“A radical is one of whom people say “He goes too far.” A conservative, on the other hand, is one who “doesn’t go far enough.” Then there is the reactionary, “one who doesn’t go at all.” All these terms are more or less objectionable, wherefore we have coined the term “progressive.” I should say that a progressive is one who insists upon recognizing new facts as they present themselves—one who adjusts legislation to these new facts.”
—Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
“All public facts are to be individualized, all private facts are to be generalized.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Let us not underrate the value of a fact; it will one day flower in a truth. It is astonishing how few facts of importance are added in a century to the natural history of any animal. The natural history of man himself is still being gradually written.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
