Trivia[]
- This is the only episode where Mime's name in the title of an episode does not represent time. In this case, it substitutes the word "mind".
- This is the first episode where Mime's make-up has no outline and the only episode until the TV series where he does.
- This is one of the ten season 2 episodes with no quick shot moment in it. The other episodes are Happy Trails Pt. 2 Jumping the Shark, The Way You Make Me Wheel, Better Off Bread, Water Way to Go, Hello Dolly, Stealing the Spotlight, Ski Ya, Wouldn't Wanna Be Ya! and Suck It Up.
- This is the only episode to have Mime's name in the title and Mime dying in the same episode.
- This episode marks Mime and The Mole's first appearances since Happy Trails Pt. 1.
- If Lumpy did die in A Change of Heart, that would make this the episode with the highest survival rate below 100% out of every episode.
- This episode marks the first instance of The Mole confusing a character's head for produce. This would later happen again with Disco Bear's head in Ipso Fatso.
- This episode makes The Mole and Mime the sixteenth and seventeenth characters to come back to life for another episode.
- This is the only Halloween episode to have Giggles, Flaky, Nutty, and Flippy/Fliqpy survive.
- This is the first Season 2 episode to have Nutty survive.
- This is one of the many episodes to take place entirely at night. The others are This Is Your Knife, Class Act, Remains to be Seen, Blind Date, Without a Hitch, Clause For Concern, No Time Like the Present, Going Out With a Bang, and Just Be Claus.
- When Mime's head is cut off by Lumpy's scythe, he manages to gurgle something out of his mouth, making this the second time Mime has been able to produce a sound verbally. This happened previously in Happy Trails Pt. 1 and would later happen again in Keepin' it Reel and Something Fishy.
- One of the goofs from Keepin' it Reel is Mime's head turning into the Rudolph costume from this episode when the chair tears him apart. This was mostly the animator's attempt to recycle animation.
- This is one of three of The Mole's regular starring roles where he does not kill anyone. The others are Spare Me and Don't Yank My Chain.
- Which he plays perfectly, as he cuts off Mime's head.
- What appear to be ghosts of Generic Tree Friends appear numerous times in the background. For example, one appears on the left side of The Mole's house when Mime walks up to it and is there until the latter rings the doorbell.
- When Mime's head is being cut by The Mole, a picture of Lumpy can be seen in the background.
- This is the first episode where a character uses crooked teeth when they die. However, they have not used crooked teeth when they scream until later episodes.
- Despite his high survival rate, this is the only Halloween episode where Flippy/Fliqpy appears and survives.
- The former YouTube thumbnail for the Classics Remastered version spoiled Mime's death.
- The pictures hanging in The Mole's house are all upside down, referencing his blind state and his inability to correctly place pictures.
- This is the only Halloween episode where only one character dies.
- This is the first episode where Pop and Cub survive together in.
Cultural References[]
- The title of the episode means that one will soon forget people or things that are no longer visible or present.
- The moral means to remain cheerful in difficult circumstances.
- Mime is dressed as Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, Flaky and Cro-Marmot as ghosts, Giggles as a witch, and Cub as Satan. Nutty's entire costume is just a birthday hat, and Lumpy is (fittingly) dressed as Death.
Production Notes[]
- Ellen Connell and Dana Belben both voiced Giggles in this episode.
- The episode originally (as it appeared on the internet) began with Mime walking on-screen and approaching The Mole's house. On the Third Strike DVD, however, the episode begins by silently panning over the area to show various other characters doing their own Halloween-related activities. Once the pan is finished, the episode continues as normal, with Mime walking on screen and the episode's music starting up. Since August 2008, the DVD version has been available on the official website and iTunes.
- In the cablecast and HD versions, however, the panning sequence has organ music playing in the background rather than being silent.
- According to the Follow the Yellow Rabbit feature on the Third Strike DVD, one of the animators drew the pumpkins in The Mole's house with his eyes closed to simulate blind carving.
