The final appearance of Sam Cat.
The first Merlin the Magic Mouse cartoon produced by Warner Brothers/Seven Arts Animation.
The jazzy, upbeat score by Bill Lava adds to the show.
Escondido and Atascadero are actual places in California. Merlin uses these names when summoning the magic carpet to be flown. Other towns include Peoria (Arizona, or, more likely, Illinois) and Hoboken (New Jersey, home of Frank Sinatra).
The only Merlin the Magic Mouse cartoon where the main characters are voiced by Daws Butler. In all other cartoons, they're voiced by Larry Storch.
