Trivia

 * This is the first real Fred cartoon (apart from the First Time Here Movie).
 * A Fred the Monkey balloon in the parade was originally planned, but was cut from the final scene.
 * This is the first time any room in their house is seen: TV Room, Kitchen, Dining Area, etc.

Remarks

 * Unlike other cartoons, when the play button appears, there is a sound.
 * The Turkong game is no longer on the website.
 * Whenever Mr. D's speaks sometimes, his goatee moves a little. This was intentional, as JKR said it was done on purpose.
 * Only JKR and Mr. D voiced the characters. Q and BDDB is mentioned, but BDDB doesn't voice a character until 2004, and Q doesn't voice a character until 2005.

Goofs
As it's one of JKR's very early cartoons, there are many goofs.


 * Whenever Fred turns a different direction sometimes, his shading is mismatched.
 * The arm doesn't support the arm on Mr. D's body when he uncovers the Roast Space Chicken.
 * When the TV at the beginning starts to zoom out, it moves a little bit before it starts to zoom out. This is probably because there is 1 frame with no border outside the flash file and just the TV (in the correct spot before it moves) and JKR moved it a little bit after the frame was done.
 * As in early cartoons, whenever Fred blinks, there is a transparent space that is the shape of his eyes in the same spot (although when there is a close-up of him and you stop there while suspense music is playing (flash file or decompiler only) this goof doesn't happen).
 * Whenever Fred speaks, his eyes move a little.
 * After Mr. D's line "Happy Thanksgiving Sceb!" his first eye starts to move slightly.
 * Most of the time (or all of the time), Sceb's pupils are always out of his eyes a little bit (especially when he is confused).
 * The outline of the beaks of Sceb and Space Chicken are over the eyes (best notable by zooming in).
 * There is a gap of Mr. D's body where a line is not connected (near the bottom part of the shape).
 * Mr. D's hair color pokes outside the black lines (most notable when he says "I'm sure hes around...").
 * After Sceb says "I'll see you later...", he appears to walk and you can see he has no legs.
 * On a close-up of Mr. D's evil look, an eye appears over the lowered evil eyelids.
 * The fly from the rotted pumpkin appears for one (or maybe two or a little bit more) frame on the "FREDtheMONKEY.COM RULES!" sign.
