Moral[]

Orko: "I was really unhappy when I lost my magic. I was afraid that people wouldn't like me anymore because I couldn't make them laugh or give them magic presents. And then Adam told me something:"
Prince Adam: "You don't have to amuse people or give them gifts to be loved. You're a special person, Orko."
Orko: "And you know what? You're special! And you don't have to buy presents or be a clown to make people like you. That way you'll know that the friends you make are real friends. That they like you for yourself."

Continuity[]

The design for the blue creature persued by Gronk would be reused as Pooki in Into the Abyss.
The Gronk would be seen again as an Omiran in Mistaken Identity.
The animated sequence of the Sorceress creating a portal would be used again in the She-Ra: Princess of Power episode Loo-Kee Lends a Hand.
The lightning that Zalt inadvertently summons is reused from He-Man's transformation sequence.
The animation model for one of Zalt's Mechacats was considered to be used as the Growler in The Huntsman before it was decided it should look like a mechanical dog.
The character models of both Tik Tok and Zalt can be seen as part of the Keeper's menagerie in The Heart of a Giant.
