 * The opening scene, in which a leaf of a tree is blown and ends up on the ground, is equal to the opening of the movie Forrest Gump, in which one sees in the same way a feather fall.
 * Another reference to Forrest Gump is the scene in which Chowder calls "Jenny, I've always loved you". This sentence is taken from Forrest Gump.
 * In the movie a face drawn on Chowders basketball. This is reminiscent of Wilson the volleyball from the movie Cast Away .
