Cultural References

  • The episode title is a pun on the film Little Big Man.
  • The Virtual Doctor website says that it's from the creators of Dragon Quest and SimSandwich. Dragon Quest is a series of RPGs released by Square-Enix (originally released as Dragon Warrior in the US). SimSandwich is a reference to the Sim series of games, the most famous of which is SimCity. The Dragon Quest name is most likely coincidental and NOT meant as a reference to the real life game series of the same name.
