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.
- Speaking of characters from the main show, Boots does not appear in this episode nor go to the Rainforest Concert.
- Neither did Benny, Isa, Tico, Big Red Chicken, Dora's parents, Abuela, and siblings, or even Swiper go to the concert.
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.
