A scene involving a French Chef attempting to macerate the unsuspecting Frog for a dinner entree occurs in this episode. A very similar scenario occurs in Disney's The Little Mermaid (1989), in which Chef Louis (voiced by Rene Auberjonois, who plays King Ulrich) attempts to macerate Sebastian for a dinner entree.
The prince's name is Robin, just like Robin Williams, who plays him. Coincidentally, the Muppets did a television special based on this fairy tale eleven years earlier in which the prince was also named Robin (it introduced the character of Robin the Frog).
In the original fairy tale, the princess throws the frog against a wall in order to turn him back into a prince.
Eric Idle would later play the title character in the episode "The Pied Piper of Hamelin".
Eric Idle also wrote, directed, and voiced the narrator.
