 * Company Cross-Reference: The coin Prince John plays with is Scrooge McDuck's Number One Dime.
 * Heartwarming Moments: We get to see Robin Hood and Maid Marian's childhood romance, and is as sweet as you'd expect. It is even revealed that it was Marian who inspired Robin to become who he is now.
 * Mythology Gag: A brief shot from the battle between the Sherriff and Robin is similar to the cut final clash between Robin and Prince John from the first film.
 * Nightmare Fuel: While still potraying him as a comedic villain, the series showd how utterly terrifying would be to live under the rule of a Manchild like Prince John. One episode even implies he got people killed thanks to a tantrum.

 * Jason Bateman replaces the late Brian Bedford as Robin Hood.
