Trivia

• Jake Cherry, related to early Season 4 friend Matthew Cherry, is a friend of Joe in this episode.
• There is no Mailtime segment in this episode. Although Mailbox was seen in the intro.
• This is the only time where Sidetable skidoos.
  • In this episode, she wore her hat from Adventure.
• This is the final Blue's Clues episode with skidooing, although Joe would later skidoo one final time in the Blue's Room episode Meet Blue's Baby Brother.
  • This episode marks the longest skidoo segment, mainly due to the fact that there was no skidoo back home for the rest of the episode.
• In this episode, Joe will go to the fairy tale ball, and Cinderella gets a golden egg with Blue's paw print on it, and she says "Hey, look what I found. What is it?".
• The "We Are Looking for Blue's Clues" tune is head yet again when Joe finds somewhere to think in place of the Thinking Chair.
  • This is also the fourth instance where the "We Are Looking for Blue's Clues" tune is heard after Something To Do Blue, Steve Goes to College, and Magenta's Messages.
• This is the first episode where all three clues were in the skidoo segment, although all 3 clues would be in the skidoo segment again in Blue's Room episode Meet Blue's Baby Brother.
• At some point, the three pigs were doing the Macarena.
• Sidetable is the other main character to appear aside from Joe and Blue.
• Joe wears a purple squared shirt in this episode.
• This is one of two episodes to feature the new animations of Blue being upside down (without her ball) and peeking over & ducking down, Key's regular animation (he only appears in Dale Clowdis' episodes), and Moona's unique animation for Dale Clowdis' episodes. The other one was Bluestock. Also in this episode, Sidetable Drawer wears a hat while doing her regular action, and Little Red Riding Hood makes her only appearance in the credits.
• This is the last episode that does not take place outside the house from Snack Time.
• The thinking segment takes place in the fairy tale, "Goldilocks and the Three Bears" which was the answer to Blue's Clues in "What Story Does Blue Want to Play?", starring Steve.
• The only place to play Blue's Clues is in the invitation to the fairy tale ball, which is in the skidoo segment, not in the Blue's Clues house, just like in Wacky Wild World, where four magic letters have to be found instead of clues in the episode Skidoo Adventure.
• It is unknown how Blue's special room got into the fairy tale ball if she didn't skidoo with it. However, It is possible that she skidooed with it off-screen.
• In this episode, Joe did not say, "We have all three clues" which happened in Blue's News and Body Language.
• Before saying, "We just figured out Blue's Clues!", Joe does not say, "That's it!" which was on Colors Everywhere!.
• This is the final Blue's Clues episode where Magenta doesn't appear in Snack Time.
• This is the final Blue's Clues episode that does not have the outside the house in Snack Time.
• When the giant says something, "Hooray!" is what everyone says whenever he does it.

Goofs

• The Old Woman Who Lived in a Shoe, Mary Had a Little Lamb, and Humpty Dumpty are nursery rhymes, they're not fairy tales.
• At one point, Joe is singing in front of a trolley heading to The Fairy Tale Ball. When he was singing, there was a pan shot of the fairy tale characters as he continues. When it concludes, he is at the back of the trolley.
• The bears did not appear saying "Someone has been thinking in my chair!" with the youngest bear saying, "Someone has been thinking in my chair, and he figured out the answer to Blue's Clues!".
