Trivia

 * This episode marks the first of many things for Terence:
 * His first appearance in CGI.
 * His first appearance overall since The Great Discovery.
 * His first speaking role since the fifth season episode, Happy Ever After.
 * His first appearance in an episode since the seventh season episode, Not So Hasty Puddings
 * This episode marks Farmer Finney's first speaking role in the television series.
 * A recreated CGI flashback of the first season episode, Thomas, Terence and the Snow was made and referenced.
 * At the beginning of the episode, a fawn and a rabbit are seen slipping and skiing on the ice. This is a reference to the 1942 animated Disney movie, Bambi.
 * The scene where the tree sinks to the bottom of the lake and Terence apologizes to it bares a close resemblance to the 1997 romantic drama, Titanic.
