1. Brer Rabbit's line "sorry, Brer Burt, I had to do it", is a reference to when Adam West would camera bomb Burt Ward on the set of Batman 66. Whenever Burt asked why he did that, Adam would reply "Sorry, Burt, I had to do it."
2. The Country Bear Jamboree is a Disney attraction just near Splash Mountain. Recently, it got restored as well. It didn't get a new theme, but it is now the Country Bear Musical Jamboree where the bears sing Disney songs.
3. Originally, the opening was to include Patty and Burt having soot on their faces when cleaning the fire pit. But when my Dad saw the black splotches on their faces, he insisted they stay clean to avoid offending people. Consequently, we needed to delete the line where Jeremy says "Patty, that soot suits you" and Patty responds with "I've been working on my smokey eye. And lung."
4. Another line that Dad worried about being offensive was Brer Vulture saying Uncle Remus was away at a "cotton field conference". So we opted to go with "storyteller's conference" instead.
5. Fleur Archambeau was played by Adèle Exarchopoulos, who made her debut in the film Blue is the Warmest Colour. Recently, she provided the voice of Ennui in Inside Out 2. This makes her the most modern actor I've ever used in this franchise.
6. This is the longest installment in the Jelly Side Up! franchise. The average length is usually about 20 minutes. This installment is 26 minutes.
7. Brer Vulture being part of a singing duo is true. Most of the animatronics in Splash Mountain were originally in a defunct attraction called America Sings. Among them were two vultures called the Boothill Boys, who were relocated to the scene right before the big drop in Splash Mountain. Since I only have one vulture plushie, we had Brer Vulture give an explanation on what happened to his singing partner.
8. The Brers wanting to attack Princess Tiana is a reference to the Walt Disney company changing Splash Mountain to Tiana's Bayou Adventure.
9. Burt tells Patty a story about Herman (the shopkeeper from Barbecued Patty) meeting his French wife at the Country Bear Jamboree. That's probably not true, but it is true that Peter Noone's wife is French.
10. The theme song is Brerhapsody, a Song of the South remix by YouTuber Ash C. I got his permission to use it in a video, so here it is. Check out the full song here.
11. The song Fleur sings is Plaisir D'amour, a traditional French song. The lyrics she sings are translated to, "the joys of love are but a moment long. The pain of love endures the whole life long."
12. This is one of the rare times we see Brer Rabbit realize how awful his tricks can be and decide to undo them. This shows that he really does care for those around him. Especially ones like Burt who already go through enough.
13. In the original Bunk'd episode, Ravi has the campers tie knots, but we needed the activities here to be what Burt likes to do. So my friend Ava and I read one of those vintage magazines and found some things he likes. Ava suggested the whole sci-fi idea and came up with the "sci fly" joke the Brers don't like.
14. This installment was originally titled "A Summer Squash", providing a reference to Chad & Jeremy's hit A Summer Song. But the more I thought about it, the less I liked it, so I looked up romantic food puns and came up with Heart Beets.
15. This is the first time we've seen Jill in the franchise since Twisted Peppermint.
16. In the original Bunk'd episode, Lou makes a bet that Hazel can make it through the whole Counselor's Night Off party without flirting with Xander. But here, we decided that Chad and Jeremy bet that Jeremy can make it without flirting at all, because there was no specific woman he was actually after.
17. The song Jeremy sings is Fell in Love, the title track on his album The Bottom Drawer Sessions Number 8. We only included the final verse and chorus to avoid copyright and save some time.
18. The song Fleur sings, Plaisir D'amour, can also be heard in the 1966 Batman movie. It's in the scene where Bruce Wayne and Ms Kitka (Catwoman in disguise) waltz together.
19. This is the first time an installment included a music video since the first Jelly Side Up!.
20. My dad ad libbed the part where Brer Bear tells Burt he almost fell asleep and the snoring he does after Burt suggests stained glass.
21. When Brer Rabbit says "you're welcome" to Burt, he's singing it like the You're Welcome song in Disney's Moana.
22. It took a lot longer than I thought to film this. Production started at the beginning of the month, then we went to Virginia for a weekend. I was sick the whole trip and still congested when we got home, so we waited another week. And now we finally finished it!
23. Burt catching Patty leaving for the party references a moment in my YouTube movie Hospital Slaughter where Sam Pan gets caught trying to see her boyfriend in the hospital.
