Continuity[]
- Starchbottom's head bumping on the ceiling over at the 7D's cottage is a call back to "Bathtub Bashful".
- The 7D having an all-night party in the beginning of the episode is a call back to "Welcome to the Neighborhood", when Happy mentioned that he will invite everyone in Jollywood for supper.
- This is the second time Grim wears his cowboy costume; the first was in "Say Pest to the Dress".
Trivia[]
- This is a rare episode in which the Glooms are defeated without any interference from the 7D at the end.
- This is the third, only, and last episode to have Sleepy on the title card.
Cultural References[]
- "Bedknobs and Gloomsticks" is a pun on the title of the 1971 Disney live-action/animated film Bedknobs and Broomsticks.
- Tom Ruegger has revealed that "Bedknobs and Gloomsticks" is based on a deleted bed-building scene from Disney's Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.[3]
- The scene where the Glooms are being chased by giant termites with the pseudo-"scientific names" displayed on screen reference the Merrie Melodies/Looney Tunes series of Wile E. Coyote and Road Runner animated shorts. Many shorts in the series (especially those produced under animator Chuck Jones) usually began with faux scientific names for the characters shown.
Goofs[]
- There was an animation error during the production of this episode that got corrected before the premiere.[4] The corrected animation had Bob directing a group of beavers to chomp on trees to make the bed; the error was that squirrels are chomping on them!
- When Sneezy is shown making the pillow twice, the scene differs each time. The first time shows Sneezy using a larger stick, and the tree on the right contains a cabinet and drawers out of which Dopey would appear to cut a piece of Doc's underwear. The final time had Sneezy with a shorter stick that appeared differently, and the tree on the right is drastically different with noticeable large roots. Missing were the cabinet and drawers.
