Quotes[]
Behind the scenes[]
Continuity
- Anne recalls Gilbert calling her Carrots and Diana helping her with dying her hair, as well as Diana ruining her dress when Amelia Evans came to visit Avonlea. Those events, also shown via flashbacks, took place in "Carrots!" (or alternatively the prequel film Anne: Journey to Green Gables) and "The Sleeves" respectively.
References
- At the end of the episode, Anne and Diana wear fancy costumes. Anne is disguised as a pirate, and Diana is dressed as Cinderella. Her appearance mimics the character from the Disney film Cinderella (1950) – Diana wears Cinderella's iconic dress (however, in purple instead of light blue) and has a similar hairstyle. As the series is set in the early 1900s, it is impossible for Diana to be familiar with the film. Her outfit was likely intended to be easily recognizable by the cartoon's audiences.
Distribution[]
