Allusions:
- This sketch is a parody of TV's Care Bears.
- The hotel that was supposed to house the Care Bear Cousins is a reference to the film Hotel Rwanda (starring Don Cheadle), in which a man protected refugees in his hotel during the Rwandan Genocide.
- The film Swordfish also stars Cheadle.
Trivia / Info:
- Unsurprisingly, New Jersey is insulted.
- There are strangely 3 Care Bear Cousins that were custom/exclusive to this short, a giraffe, a jaguar/cheetah/leopard and a tiger all having Funshine, Love A Lot and Bedtime's belly badges despite there being NONE of them in the actual Care Bears franchise.
- According to some YouTubers and some theories over this sketch years later, they thought that the names Lotsa Heart Elephant, Laugh-a-Lot Bear and Love-a-Lot Bear and their behaviour in this sketch predicted the name and behaviour of the main antagonist for Toy Story 3 Lots-o'-Huggin' Bear, a seemingly friendly and strawberry smelled teddy bear who turns out to be a wrathful, abusive and tyrannical ruler of Sunnyside Daycare in the third Toy Story film.
Goofs / Nitpicks:
- Despite Don Cheadle appears in this sketch, He kept his Rwandan accent from Hotel Rwanda, instead of his actual American accent, Not to mention, He was a massive African-American actor, not a Rwandan accent.
- Laugh a Lot Bear is erroneously referred to as "Lots of Laughs Bear".
- Despite this sketch had the names Lotsa Heart Elephant, Laugh-a-Lot Bear and Love-a-Lot Bear and their behaviour predicted the main antagonist of the third Toy Story film Lots-o'-Huggin' Bear he was actually owned by Disney and Pixar, not American Greetings.
- When the Care Bears cheer after the elephant dies and Love-A-Lot claims that they have killed the cousins, they are all voiced by Seth Green.
- Bedtime Bear is sleepy in the cartoon, but in the sketch, he announces bedtime.
