The Cameo: Three of Henson's usual cohorts make brief appearances: Frank Oz (as an office worker), writer and one-time performer Jerry Juhl (a bartender) and puppet designer Don Sahlin (the guy who gets a Pie in the Face).

Arc Word: The only word spoken during the short's eight-minute run is Jim's whimpered "Help!", which appears a total of four times.

Mickey Mousing: The basic structural frame of the entire film. The film is scored for percussion and everything is synchronized to the same steady rhythm — an impressive feat for Jim, since he had to do multiple takes walking (or running) at the exact same speed and length of stride.
