This is one of the few episodes in which Grouchy Smurf starts a sentence off with a name. In this case, he says, "Handy, I hate traps!".
This episode marks Handy's first speaking appearance in airing order. He did not physically appear in "The Astrosmurf" and appears with no lines in "Vanity Fare".
This marks the first time that Gargamel finds the Smurf village.
After Papa Smurf plants the last glowberry in the village, and it grows into a glowberry bush, he and other smurfs run off to get some baskets. But when they come back, as they're sliding to a stop, Hefty's hat flies up off his head (and lands back down on it), revealing his bald head.
