Trivia

  • This short was released between BW040 and BW041 in Japan. However, these are Club Battle episodes and the movies cannot take place then, or the arc would otherwise be interrupted.
  • In several scenes, a Minccino puffs up angrily upon putting Meowth, Woobat, and Yamask to sleep with Sing, and then sweeping them away with its tail. This action is a direct parody of Jigglypuff's reaction when its audience falls asleep.
    • The same goes to Marill from PK18, PK19, PK20, and PK21, who also puffs up angrily upon putting its audience to sleep.
