Trivia
The music playing during the dolphin sequence is a parody of "Will You Be There" by Michael Jackson , which was the theme from the film Free Willy .
MerMindy and Buttons the Dogfish (as seen in "Mermaid Mindy ") make a cameo after Pesto is in the belly of a shark.
Steven Seagull is voiced by David Kaufman , who would later voice Dexter Douglas on Freakazoid! a year after this episode aired, Jimmy Olsen in "Superman: The Animated Series" and the titular character in the Butch Hartman cartoon, "Danny Phantom" from 2004 to 2007.
Steven Seagull's name is a pun on action star, Steven Seagal .
Despite never again reappearing in the series physically, Steven Seagull of all characters is among the many original series characters mentioned by Yakko in the Animaniacs reboot cartoon "Good Warner Hunting " as having been notable enough to have his absence noticed.
