A Wish for Wings That Work

Berkeley Breathed was exceptionally displeased with the quality of the final product. In an exchange published in The Washington Post he said to a person trying to find the VHS or DVD version, "Hopefully (you will find it) in the rubbish pail. We can do better than that, and we will with an eventual Opus film, but I'm glad you enjoyed it. I presume your family was on speed when they watched it. I would imagine it helps." In a later interview Breathed explained that the production of the special was very difficult, and that he was constantly at odds with the director, who wanted to add in more crude and vulgar jokes.

The cockpit window in the Lost Horizon dream doesn't match the cockpit window that is inside Opus' cockpit.

After the credits, we see Truffles yelling up at Opus "Don't get cocky up there!" before Opus' prothstetic buttocks falls on him.
