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.
  • 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.
