This episode features the original song "This is the Life" that was written specifically for this story and was song by Sebastian (Samuel E. Wright).
Near the end, the Sorceress curses Triton and Ariel by saying, "Someday I'll get you, Triton! I'll get you, and your little mermaid, too!", which is an homage to the line "I'll get you my pretty and your little dog too!" from the "Wizard of Oz" spoken by the Wicked With of the West.
