- GoofsWhen Eddie attacks Ulee with the knife he uses an underarm motion, which would place the wound in his lower back. Then when the view changes to inside the truck the wound is shown on the upper part of the back, near the shoulder blade, which would be in the wrong part of his back.
- Quotes
Penny Jackson: [explaining her drawing] See, sometimes the bees get confused, and run away. That's them there on the tree. But they don't really want to be gone. And they're happy when someone helps them back into their home. But you got to keep calm and don't panic when they sting, 'cause they don't mean nothing by it.
- Crazy creditsThe bees are thanked at the end of the credits.
