Trivia, Errors and More from Boast Busters · 2:32pm Apr 9th, 2022
Finally the Episode is complete now let's do some Trivia, Errors and more from the newest Episode ever made starting with the one which started ever since my story begun the Trivia!!!
Trivia 1: The title of the episode is a play on the title of the Ghostbusters franchise
Trivia 2: The Great and Powerful Trixie shares her title with 'The Great and Powerful Oz' from The Wizard of Oz, who also turns out to be far less powerful than initially portrayed
Trivia 3: Trixie's challenge to the audience echoes the phrase 'anything you can do I can do better', which originated with the song of the same name from the 1946 Broadway musical Annie Get Your Gun
Trivia 4: The Ursa bears are named after the constellations Ursa Major and Ursa Minor
Trivia 5: Snips and Snails's exchange in which Snips asks 'You thinkin' what I'm thinkin'?' and Snails replies 'Why is it they call it a flea market when they don't really sell fleas?' is an homage to Pinky and the Brain. A running gag in Pinky and the Brain was that Brain, the smarter and shorter one, would ask Pinky, the taller and stupider one, 'Pinky, are you pondering what I'm pondering?', and Pinky would reply with a bizarre non sequitur
Trivia 6: Twilight Sparkle's lullaby to the Ursa Minor is created when she casts a spell to call up the wind. She uses the wind initially to snap the stalks of the cattails growing in a nearby pond and then to play a soothing melody by having it blow across the broken reeds. This echoes a scene from Disney's 1937 Academy Award winning short The Old Mill. At the 6:10 minute mark, the rising wind from an approaching storm snaps several cattails and blows across them, playing a haunting melody
Trivia 7: Ladybug using her yo-yo to fix things is a reference to 'Pigeon Couple' and future Episodes where she uses her yo-yo to fix things too (Forgot the names)
Now for the last update which is Errors:
Error 1: After defeating the Ursa Minor, when Twilight is speaking, Rainbow's mane is black
Error 2: About 11 minutes into the episode, when Snips delivers the line 'can your Twilight claim that?', the cloud movement animation in the background resets
Error 3: Right after the Ursa Minor crushes Trixie's caravan, it roars, and the yellow of its eye is briefly seen out-of-sync with the outline of its eye
