Fun Facts

Remarks

• Mr. Grumpy states that he worked in the airline service for 30 years, which the show's debut came out as a milestone for some of the Mr. Men that was published in 1978. Mr. Grumpy is one of those characters.
  • This raises the question of exactly how old Mr. Grumpy is.
• Despite the segment being cut in European region airings for it containing violence, Mr. Bump and Miss Helpful's plot from the UK version was available online on the official website.
• A map of Dillydale was probably shown multiple times, and there were two cities on the map.
• The shadows on the seats became darker in the next second before.
• Mr. Grumpy seems to be farther away after talking to Mr. Rude the second time, as he's that close.
• The balloon basket is bigger in the inside than it's depicted.
• Despite Miss Calamity puncturing the balloon, it was never seen deflated.
• It's unknown where the pig came from, as one was never seen with Miss Calamity after passing the farm.
• Like with Physical and Farm, Mr. Bump's voice in the American dub sounds different from his later appearances. This means that it was one of the first episodes to be produced.

Goofs

• Miss Sunshine's hair braids phase through her seat.
• Mr. Rude and Miss Chatterbox vanished when Mr. Persnickety is talking to Mr. Grumpy.
