Crew credits

Release

Dates are in order of release:

  • United States: October 20, 2000 on Cartoon Network

Behind the scenes

  • The episode title is an allusion to the 1985 film Jewel of the Nile.
  • The cereal name and design is a mix of Lucky Charms, Cap'n Crunch, Trix, and King Vitaman. Although the in-universe commercial is just a parody of the Trix rabbit; the line, "Ridiculous Lucky Captain Rabbit King, Lucky Captain Rabbit King Nuggets are for the youth!" is a parody of the Trix catchphrase, "Silly rabbit, Trix are for kids!"
    • The commercial was animated by Randy Myers.
  • Generally Food Cereal is a parody of General Foods Corporation and General Mills.
  • The cereal box has three designs: The first shown is a simple design of the mascot with the word "Nuggets," the second shown is an extremely detailed unapologetic rip-off of the above mentioned cereals, and the third is just the first one again, but with "Nuggets" removed.
  • Mech-Animals is a parody of the CGI animated series Beast Wars (which also aired on Cartoon Network), and its sequel Beast Machines (which aired on FOX Kids, instead); Ostrichman Prime is named after Optimus Primal or Optimus Prime.
  • There's a recurring gag with the crook not being able to remember the cereal mascot name. One of the names he says instead is the musical duo, Captain & Tennille.
  • The questions from the girls when the crook comes in as the mascot disguised as grandma, is paraphrased from Little Red Riding Hood questions to the wolf's appearance while disguised as her grandma in the fairy tale of Little Red Riding Hood.
  • The Santa-disguised crook getting attacked by the squirrel on the roof is a reference to the 1989 film National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation.
  • One of the crowd members at the end of the episode resembles George Jetson from The Jetsons, and while George has had more distinct cameos, this citizen is wearing a sweater instead of a shirt.
  • The rabbit mascot is identified simply as "Lucky" in the voice credits.

Errors

  • It's unclear if it's a mistake, but the machine pouring out the cereal referred to the cereal with the spelling of "Captain," whereas the extremely detailed close-up of the cereal and the commercial spells "Captain" as "Cap'n."
  • The package of cereals going to Malph's says "Malphs."
  • It's unclear how long the crook is trying to get cereal. It seems like it's all morning long, yet how many bowls have the girls been eating all this time (and without getting a sugar rush)?
