Behind the scenes

• Blossom discovered her ice breath in the original series episode "Ice Sore."

Errors

• The Townsville Elementary Yearbook should in fact be called Midway Elementary Yearbook.
• Princess pronounces Barry's surname as Mackerbocker (which Barry himself has in other episodes), although Cornelius does pronounce it the correct way, confirming that the yearbook was correct in spelling it Mackerbacker.
