The episode contains several references to Disney films: Frozen (2013) is mentioned several times in relation to the Disney on Ice show Madeline has arranged for the children to attend, Renata refers to Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937) and Dumbo (1941) while trying to make Madeline change her mind about the show, and Mary Poppins (1964) is mentioned by Jane when she tells Madeline about Ziggy's father.
On the ride to the ice show, Madeline (Reese Witherspoon), Celeste (Nicole Kidman) and Jane (Shailene Woodley) sing along to "Dreams" by Fleetwood Mac. The song was written by Stevie Nicks. Almost 20 years before the creation of this series, Nicks contributed to the soundtrack of the film Practical Magic (1998), which starred Kidman.
