Behind the scenes

• The announcer compares the Addams' vulture to the 1970 book Jonathan Livingston Seagull by Richard Bach.

Errors

• Archie and the announcer look virtually the same.
• The taxi is missing part of its door, so the glass window is extra long.
• As the taxi drives away, it never leaves the screen properly, leaving the very tip of the backside still visible.
