Behind the scenes

Buttercup's story is a combination of the 1968 film Night of the Living Dead and the 2010 TV series The Walking Dead.
Blossom's story is based on the 1818 novel Frankenstein.
Bubbles's story is based on the 1998 film How Stella Got Her Groove Back.

Errors

Bubbles's story mixes up whether or not Tony is supposed to be a man or a woman. The subtitles say Toni during the story, but the end credits say Tony because outside of the story, he was a masculine spaghetti squash.
