Red-Eyed Tree Frog Facts[]
- To scare away coatis, a tree frog uses its big, red eyes. It doesn't dress up like a ghost.
- A tree frog has sticky toes that are good for climbing, not slippery toes.
- A tree frog likes to eat bugs, not jellyfish because they sting.
- A tree frog lives in trees in the rainforest, not in holes because it would be called a "red-eyed hole frog".

Trivia[]
- Henry Lenardin-Madden, one of the show's animation directors, solely wrote, storyboarded with Miyuki Hoshikawa and directed this episode himself.
- He would also write and co-direct the Dora the Explorer Season 5 episode Benny's Treasure.
- This episode could be Diego’s version of Dora, La Música.
- It could also be the show's version of Dora's Pirate Adventure since both involve big performances in front of a large audience.
- This is the only episode in which Alicia plays piano, as well as the second time she plays the guitar after Alicia Saves the Crocodile.
- Dora, Baby Jaguar, Daisy, and Diego's parents make cameo appearances in the crowd.
- This is one of the few episodes where Diego returns to where he started his adventure.
- Coincidentally, the DVD release, the Nickelodeon premiere, and the Nick Jr. premiere were all on the same day of the week (Tuesday).
- And also, the Nickelodeon premiere is used for celebrating the 3rd anniversary of the operetta musical-adventure series "The Wonder Pets!".
- The "use their big red eyes" image in this episode would later be used as the "frog" image in A New Flamingo Mami.
- In this episode, Click looks for the animals differently. Each animal encounter has two different kinds of animals with only one being correct.
- This episode premiered on Nick Jr. the day before Baby Jaguar's Roar.
- At the end of the episode, the Bobos watched the concert after they stopped causing trouble. When they have their own tickets, it means that they could just watch.
- In this episode, the Tree Frog ending song is the encore, which will cause the audience members, including the Bobo Brothers to give themselves a standing ovation.
- At the end of the episode, Alicia changes from her normal outfit to her white dress, but when the concert ends, she changes back to her normal outfit.
Goofs/Errors[]
- In this episode, the Red-Eyed Tree Frogs did not say "Ribbit-ribbit!" as their croaking sound, they instead say "Ruk-ruk!".
- The copyright year reads "2007" instead of 2008 (On DVD) or 2009 (On TV), meaning this episode was produced in 2007.
References[]
- The title of this episode may be a reference to the popular 1975 Queen song Bohemian Rhapsody.
