Trivia[]
- The episode's plot is very similar to Little Miss Late Beats Them All, which was released the previous season.
- Despite being the main character, Mr. Slow doesn't speak in this episode.
- This is one of ten episodes without the narrator.
- This is one of those rare times where Little Miss Naughty's naughtiness is unintentional. Thus, making her remorseful for her actions.
- This is the last episode for several things:
- Farmer Fields and Mr. Cheerful's last appearances in animation to date.
- Mr. Daydream, Mr. Dizzy, Mr. Rush, Mr. Nonsense, Mr. Slow, Little Miss Dotty and Little Miss Tidy's last appearances in a television series episode.
- Little Miss Naughty's last speaking role until "Science".
Errors[]
- There Are Three Mr. Funnys, and Two Mr. Busys, Two Mr. Funnys On Each Side Of the Audience, And One In The Race, One Mr. Busy In the audience and another one in the race.
- After the road was cleared, it is unlikely that Mr. Slow would have been able to keep in front of the other racers long enough to cross the finish line first.
- Just Like in the Previous episode Little Miss Late Beats Them All!, Mr. Worry appears to be Coloured red again.(well actually there are two Mr. Worry's One is red and one is blue in Little Miss Late Beats Them All!)
- It is also unlikely that Mr. Snooty would have allowed Little Miss Sunshine and Little Miss Splendid to pass him once the road was cleared.
- In the last scene, Mr. Slow and Mr. Nosey appear much larger than Little Miss Sunshine when they are all usually portrayed to be the same size.
- Morals:
- Slow and steady wins the race
- Cheaters never prosper
