Behind the scenes

• Lupe is revealed to be seven years old.

Errors

• Mayor Marconi reads Itzak's diary that reveals the Howards are werewolves, but believes him to be a loony, which could also be convincing to the viewer, if it were not for the fact Scott's grandparents are in their werewolf forms as the Mayor says this.
• When Lupe looks disgruntled when Stiles takes the reward money, her shirt is blue and her overalls are maroon.
• The end credits say "Assisant animators" instead of "Assistant animators."
